Stun Gun / Stun Baton Info

Stun Gun Technology:

According to makers of stun guns, a charge of 1/4 second will cause the assailant to feel intense pain and muscle contractions, startling most people intensely. A charge of 1 to 2 seconds will often cause the assailant to become dazed and drop to the ground. A charge of over 3 seconds will usually completely disorient and drop an attacker, for at least several minutes and as long as fifteen minutes.

Many think of electricity as a harmful force to our bodies. If you stick your finger in an electrical outlet, the current can maim or even kill you. But in smaller doses, electricity is harmless. In fact, it is one of the most essential elements in your body. You need electricity to do just about anything.

When you want to perform a task by hand, your brain sends electricity down a nerve cell, toward the muscles in your arm. The electrical signal tells the nerve cell to release a neurotransmitter, a communication chemical, to the muscle cells. This tells the muscles to contract or expand in just the right way to accomplish your task. Sensitive nerve cells in your hand send an electrical message to the brain, telling you what something feels like. When you eat, your mouth sends signals to your brain to tell you how it tastes.

In this way, the different parts of your body use electricity to communicate with one another. This is like a telephone system or the Internet. Specific patterns of electricity are transmitted over lines to deliver messages. A Talon mini stun gun interferes with these messages.

The basic idea of a stun gun is to disrupt this communication system. Stun guns generate a high-voltage, low-amperage electrical charge. This means that the charge has a lot of pressure behind it but not that much intensity. When you press the stun gun against an attacker and hold the trigger, the charge passes into their body. Since it has a fairly high voltage, the charge will pass through heavy clothing and skin. But at around 3 milliamps, the charge is not powerful enough to damage the attacker's body unless it is applied for extended periods of time. Check out these potent Stun Master stun guns!

It does pump a lot of confusing information into the attacker's nervous system. This causes some things to happen. Ladies, check out the slim-style grip on these Z-Force stun guns!

The charge combines with the electrical signals from the attacker's brain. This is like running an outside current into a phone line: The original signal is mixed in with any noise, making it very difficult to understand any messages. When these lines of communication shut down, the attacker has a very hard time making his muscles move, and he may become confused and off balance. He becomes partially paralyzed, for a temporary amount of time.

Current can be generated with "pulse frequency" that mimics the body's own electrical signals. In this case, the current tells the attacker's muscles to do a great deal of work in a very short time. But the signal doesn't direct the work toward any particular movement. It doesn't do anything but deplete the attacker's energy reserves, leaving him too weak to move.

This is all there is to incapacitating a person with a stun gun: Simply apply electricity to a person's muscles and nerves. Since there are muscles and nerves all over the body, it doesn't matter all that much where you hit an attacker. Check out our Cell Phone Stun Guns!

Stun Batons:

The effects of a stun baton are the same as described above in "Stun Gun Technology". Our stun batons delivers an awesome 300,000 or 800,000 volt charge. Because of it's high power and extended reach, they are a favorite among security personnel. Check out these stun batons!

We get a lot of emails asking our thoughts on the efficacy of stun batons in dog attacks. Many of the attacks described are brutal attacks on dogs and their owners, with many inflicting injuries on pets, and sometimes pet owners. Usually there are more than two dogs involved and are neighborhood "terrorists". Many of the attacks are by breeds like American Pit Bulls, Rott's and other large dogs.

At Safety Enforcement we do not advocate cruelty or the mistreatment of any animal. We do however, believe in the safety of our customers and their right to defend themselves and others from unwanted attack or injury. That said; these stun batons, in cases of dangerous dog attacks, will offer the owner a much needed reach advantage of 16 inches for the 300K volt model and 21.5 inches for the 800K volt model. The last 6 inches have electrified strips which will give a solid jolt to whatever it comes in contact with. This is another great advantage in the heat of a dog attack. Finally you have up to 800,000 volts of power at your fingertips to defend yourself, your loved ones and pets. We do recommend them for customers who's needs would not be served with a lesser deterrent.
