Stun gun


Stun gun may refer to:
§  Electroshock weapon, an incapacitant weapon that momentarily disables a person with an electric shock. An electroshock weapon is an incapacitant weapon used for incapacitating a person by administering electric shock aimed at disrupting superficial muscle functions. One type is a conductive energy device (CED), an electroshock gun popularly known by the brand name "Taser", which fires projectiles that administer the shock through a thin, flexible wire. Other electroshock weapons such as stun guns, stun batons, and electroshock belts administer an electric shock by direct contact. A shockround is a piezo-electric tip for a projectile that generates and releases electric charge on impact.

§  Directed-energy weapon, a weapon that emits energy in an aimed direction without projectile, if it causes unconsciousness. A directed-energy weapon (DEW) emits energy in an aimed direction without the means of a projectile. It transfers energy to a target for a desired effect. Intended effects may be non-lethal or lethal. Some such weapons are real, or are under active research and development.

  1. Stun gun is an electroshock weapon which is momentarily disables a person with an electric shock.
    It is a hand-held, battery-powered device. Most of stun guns are about six inches long and its voltages ranging from 100,000 to 775,000 volts. Stun Guns and Stun Batons use advanced technology. It is manufactured with high impact reinforced plastic. It is built with heavy duty dual coils that offer extra high amperage, for immediate take downs in demanding conditions. It works on the muscular and neural system. Using this causes disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for several minutes. Millions of police officers, soldiers and ordinary citizens do carry real-life stun weapons to protect against personal attacks
