Copyright © 2006 Fred Cheney Pro-Tech Products http://www.citizensfightingback.com The word "stun" has a mysterious ring to it. It is synonymous with words like "overwhelm," "stupefy," and "daze." What do these words really mean? In other words, what would happen to your victim if you touch him with your stun gun? What would happen to you if you stunned yourself? Could someone be permanently injured, or worse, die? To sum it up: What are the effects of a stun gun shock? These are all important questions - questions with solid answers. What Is A Stun Gun? As stun gun is a small hand held weapon that must be touched to the attacker's body in order to be effective - you don't "shoot" anyone." Immediately upon making contact, the stun gun delivers a high-voltage (generally 85,000 volts to 625,000 volts), low-amperage electrical charge. The electricity emitted travels through clothing and penetrates the skin. This means that you don't need to be all that coordinated to be able to use a stun gun - the effects of a stun gun will be the same whether you touch a heavy sweatshirt, a muscular leg, the back of the hand, or anywhere else on your attacker. And what about those results? You can expect the attacker to immediately lose control of his nervous system and his muscular system, causing him to hit the ground hard. Your attacker will not be able to sort out the thoughts racing wildly through his mind, reeling in confusion and the inability to control his movement. As excruciating as the attacker's situation might be, he is temporarily disabled, not dying. Your attacker will be in this condition from five to fifteen minutes depending on how long you held the stun gun in place. How Long Will The Shock Last? According to the experts, a shock of less than a second will stop an attacker in his tracks. Three seconds will keep an attacker immobilized for up to twenty minutes or more. This gives you an opportunity to run or fight back, seeking law enforcement as quickly as possible. What If You Stun Yourself? Because of the deliberate nature of putting your hands on the stun gun and pressing in very specific places to get the shock going, it is highly unlikely that you will ever stun yourself. And you can't get shocked by touching an individual who has been shocked - the charge will not transfer to you. But if you do happen to shock yourself, you may be able to focus on only one thought. That thought should be, "This is temporary." Since the length of temporary disability is directly related to how long you receive the shock, odds are in your favor that your immobility will last only seconds. This is because you will immediately drop the stun gun at the first recognition of being zapped. The effects of a stun gun can range from a "quick but effective scare" to a full on "drop them to the ground" shock. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Fred Cheney is the owner of Pro-Tech Products at: http://www.citizensfightingback.com Pro-Tech Products specializes in providing personal security products and other self defense items.
