Stun Guns 101 - Uses & Effects
Stun Guns & Batons require physical contact.
The best places to strike someone is in the upper shoulders, lower ribcage or upper hip.
Firing a Stun Gun -
- Make Sure Power Switch is ON.
- Push Trigger Switch. You will see and hear an electrical discharge between the two metal probes. (Note - Excessive 'air discharges', or 'air shots' for longer than one second can damage unit and void warranty.) When in contact with an actual attacker, no spark will be seen and no sound will be heard. The energy will be all absorbed by the body.
- Do NOT touch probes while firing!
- Touch both probes against the assailant's body. Shock affects generally work through up to inch of clothing.
Effects -
- Firing for second will startle assailants, giving some pain, muscular contraction and shock.
- Firing for 1-2 seconds will cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state.
- Firing for 3-5 seconds will cause loss of balance, muscle control, total mental confusion, and disorientation leaving your attacker dazed.
- Under no conditions can you suffer a charge-back to your own body so you can feel safe even if attacker is holding you.
- Will not cause permanent damage.
After assailant's attack has been neutralized, don't stick around! We highly recommend that you promptly get away and seek help!
One last note... if you are even remotely tempted to try it out on yourself there is a good chance you will be unable to release the button with your muscles contracted! ...you may just flop about helplessly until the battery charge is exhausted! If you do this, ...after you regain consciousness, PLEASE send us a video of it! We always love a good laugh here at HDP! =O)
