Stun Guns Info

Security products using electronic guns or stunning machines are typically called stun guns. Stun guns are available in various electronic charge ratings. A person must be touched by two small prongs on the end of the device in order to be able to send an electronic charge to the assailant, so you have to almost have to be in bodily contact with the other person. Sometimes just turning the stun gun on will deter am assailant. They make a crackling noise and a spark jumps across the gap between the two prongs.

There are also stun batons, which come in various lengths such as 16, 18 or even 20 inches in length. Also, there are several new models out now. One looks like a cell phone and delivers a whopping 950,000 volts. Another one is a flashlight/stun gun combination. The latest of the stun guns is the Taser models, discharging several electronic bolts, attached to wires that strike the person, disabling him. The wires are about 15 feet long, so you do not have to get as close to the person. This is a very potent gun and the darts or bolts affect the nervous system of the person.

If you are considering any of these items, please be careful and learn how to use them.

Have you questioned your safety? Or what you would do if it was threatened? Contemplating a method of protection is a very serious undertaking and it is becoming an absolute necessity in today’s changing times.

As crime rates rise and the forms of personal crime become more and more severe, the simple belief that someone else will protect you is bordering on naƒƒ¯ve. Have you considered whether you could defend yourself from an attacker?

You likely could, but not without a little planning beforehand. Gaining confidence in your ability to protect yourself means knowing that you have a strategy that will work under any circumstance. For many of us, this involves the use of a tool that is simple and reliable, such as a stun gun.

If you are considering such a purchase, you need to evaluate your options very carefully. At first, you may believe that your personal strength would be enough protection, but what if you were injured or otherwise incapacitated? A tool that requires minimal strength such as a stun gun is a reliable tool for all strength levels.

Until put in the situation, no one can know how they will respond to a threat to their personal safety. A stun gun requires minimal pressure on the trigger and only a short period of contact with the attacker. This ensures that regardless of the situation you will be able stop the attack.

Stun guns are also reliable because of their simplicity. A stun gun sends a voltage of electricity through the attacker’s body that impedes their muscles’ function. This tool will have the desired effect regardless of the attacker’s size or the body part that it comes in contact with.

In addition to ease of use and reliability, stun guns are also one of the safest self-defense tools. All models come with safety features to make certain that the tool will not be activated accidentally. The tools are also safe for the attacker because their objective is to give you time to reach safety rather than create permanent damage.

Although very powerful, stun guns deliver a current that is strong enough to immobilize the attacker for a long period of time without leaving permanent damage. A stun gun shock will not harm the heart or other organs, and does not create any other lasting effects.

Now that you know the benefits of this tool, it is time to find a sales provider. A great place to look is at http://bljsselfdefense.com/index.php?target=categories&category_id=1. This company offers a wide variety of items, including stun guns, and provides consumers with education on self defense. In addition to the online resources, BLJ’s Enterprises supplies its customers with personal attention to help ensure that they receive the self defense tool that is right for them.

A woman is attacked every three minutes. How can we as women stop this or prevent this from happening? Crime is on the rise and we do not believe this will stop anytime in the near future. However, prevention is key. We do not mean that you should stay in the house, lock the doors and never come out. We mean take precautions, always be aware of your surroundings and carry some kind of self-defense product. We **** to admit it but most men are physically stronger than women. Lets talk about carrying a stun gun. A stun gun is a non-lethal self-defense product used by millions of people today.

A stun gun is an electrical self-defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs of the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.

The stun gun is designed to key into the nervous system. It dumps its energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles work very rapidly, but not efficiently. This rapid work cycle depletes blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid all in just seconds. The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. At the same time, the tiny neurological impulses that travel throughout the body to direct muscle movement are interrupted. This causes disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for several minutes. Still, there is no significant effect on the heart or other vital organs.

As a general rule, a one-half second contact can repel and startle the attacker, producing some pain and muscle contraction. One to two seconds can cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state. Over three seconds can cause loss of balance and muscle control, mental confusion and disorientation. You have to realize that 3 seconds is quite a long time when in a physical struggle. Every person is different and will react differently to the effects of a stun gun. What may put one person down in 3 seconds could take 5 seconds on another person.

The electrical shock that emits from the unit will not pass from the person being stunned to the person doing the stunning. The effect is localized only in the affected area and does not pass through the body. Even if you or the attacker is wet or standing in water, you will not get shocked. Stun Guns are non-lethal self-defense products.

So there we have it. A stun gun is easy to use. They are relatively inexpensive and they could save your life. Stun Guns come in various sizes and voltages.

Self defense products like stun guns, pepper sprays, tasers, personal alarms, et.al. have quietly crept into the mainstream of society. There are several reasons of course.

 

They have been used effectively for years by military and police units world wide so we know how effective they are. They are easy to use, cost effective, and easy to find on the internet.

 

Combine all of that with one other ingredient and you have a very useful tool when it comes to self defense: DISGUISABILITY.

This amazing device pretends to be a camera cell phone, but it’s not. Instead it’s a powerful 950,000 volt stun gun making it one of the most powerful stun guns on the market today. This stun gun will really give you the edge since an attacker will think you are just carrying a cell phone. It also has a very bright built-in 12 LED flashlight too.

Two levels of safety have been built in that can prevent accidental discharge. The safety switch must be in the on position (this will cause an LED warning light to come on) and the trigger button pressed before the unit will operate.

It operates on three (3) CR2 batteries which are included FREE ($12.00 value). FREE holster with belt clip are included-a $10.00 value. It is only 3.8 inches tall-so easy to carry and conceal. The Pretender has a lifetime warranty too.

If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY. Stun guns are not legal in some states. Check with your local police department first before you get one.

The Pretender stun gun can provide the disguisability, power and durability to protect you and your family for a long time.

A stun gun is any group of battery-powered items that are able to deliver an electrical charge externally to either a person or an animal. The concept has been in use for quite some time now, when wranglers then used heated cattle prods to force cows a certain direction. With the advent of portable electricity, batteries provided the electrical charge to make the animals follow directions. The first , a  TASER design, developed in 1952 was proposed for commando operations. By the early 60s, the U.S Government commissions included electric stun batons in the riot control. By the 1970’s the technology became an important part of aircraft safety in the wake of terrorist attacks and hijacks. Later in the year, these were marketed to the public as defense weapons against muggers.

Called non-lethal weaponry, these devises work through the use of electricity to incapacitate or subdue an individual. This is achieved by the production of an electrical charge within the stun gun itself. What is produced is high-voltage, low amperage electrical charge when placed in contact with another person would produce a sensation anywhere from a mild electrical shock to temporary disability. This has been proven as an effective means to place under control a person who is considered a threat or be able to restrain the individual eventually.

The body is a bioelectrical piece of engineering. Bioelectrical means that electric impulses generated by the brain and passing through the nervous system is the means how movement, response and thoughts are produced. The electric impulses produce the necessary biological chemicals to make muscle groups respond in a particular manner. You can liken it to your computer with you as the brain typing on the keyboard the necessary electrical impulses to generate the icons on the screen or have the computer perform its tasks. Now, by placing an external electrical current into the computer system, you will see that the original electrical impulses of computer become overloaded causing the system to short circuit and shut down. How a stun gun works is by coming into contact with a person; the nerve impulses are shorted out making it impossible for the body to decipher any electric message causing the body to short out and shut down. The shutting down process of the body is what helps in controlling the movements a person can do after being targeted.

These non-lethal self defense weapons are effective in what they do and that is to incapacitate the target. The gun or hand held device draws its power from a nine-volt battery hidden within an insulated shell. Connected to the battery are wires that lead the charge to mini step up transformers that increase the voltage by a factor of at least 200,000 and lower the amperage rate effectively. The next component that receives this electrical charge is the oscillator. This oscillator controls the current fluctuation to a specific electrical pulse pattern. The oscillated charge is then stored in capacitors. When the device is triggered, the capacitors discharged the stored electrical energy to the electrodes. These electrodes when in contact with skin or clothing would create a circuit, which would let the electrical discharge from the stun gun flow through the intended recipient. The electrical current flowing through the person or animal’s body would disrupt the electrical impulses from the brain resulting in immobilization.

There are many styles of these self defense weapons available in the market and online. The simplest type is no bigger than a mobile telephone that uses two pairs of electrodes to deliver the charge. How the device works is by squeezing the trigger. The outer electrodes of the stun gun, the ones that look like prongs, ionize the air between them and when contact is made with an intended recipient, the circuit is formed. There is also a secondary inner electrode that directly applies the electrical charge onto the body of the person or animal sought immobilized. The design requires close and immediate contact but can create multiple electrical charges on the subject to be incapacitated. This mode is popular with private users as it can easily be tucked away and there is little or no required paperwork for its ownership.

Another method of delivery is through a shooting mechanism. The electrodes have extendible wires attached to them and using either compressed gas or a mixture of liquid chemicals, when the triggered is squeezed, the electrodes are ejected with force over a distance to the intended subject. Once the barbs attach, the electrical impulses are carried through the wire attachments thus incapacitating the individual concerned.

Police authorities are the main users of these types of stun guns in order to provide distance in which caution and prevention to further injury can be mapped out. The drawback is the need to reload the jettisoning cartridges and re-loop the wires of the electrode to be able to fire the weapon again.

With all of the improvements and technological advances, these compact and effective self defense tools have certainly come a long way from the long bulky cattle prods used in the stockyards in days gone by. Although legal in most states, be sure to check with your local law enforcement agency before adding them to your self defense tool box.

There is more and more interest in self defense tools as crime continues to rise. Even the least likely individuals, such as grandparents, are looking for information so that they can make informed decisions in trying to defend themselves from personal attacks, burglaries, robberies and more.

Just a few short years ago, some tools, such as stun guns – especially the best stun guns – were reserved for law enforcement and military agencies. More often, though, these weapons are available to the public.

Many individuals are purchasing these weapons as a substitute for guns because they have become aware that guns have a very real potential to kill the attacker, however stun guns – especially the best stun guns available – are a non-lethal alternative to guns.

Where can the best stun guns be found? How can you tell which stun guns are the best stun guns? There are many ways to find this information in newspapers, magazines and on the internet. It is important that when you are researching these weapons and others, you compare the companies that will stand behind their products. In addition, the company offering these weapons should provide specific product information and descriptions, information regarding how these weapons work and information regarding the laws in each state.

Reputable companies and websites will offer and provide this information and more. This will help you make informed decisions. Most of the companies that sell stun guns also sell self-defense tools, such as, tasers, alarms, pepper spray and more. With information regarding all of these tools you will be able to make good comparisons and decide what is the best tool for your situation.

Getting hit by somebody wearing a knuckle duster is going to hurt at the best of times, so I dread to think what one that packs a 950,000 volt punch will feel like.

 

The Knuckle Blaster Stun Gun is intended as a self defense device for people who jog in risky areas (and if it’s a really bad area you could always wear one of these on each hand as well).

 

Before shocking any potential muggers you should probably ask them if they have a pace maker, then again nah, just knee them and follow up with 950,000 volts to their body.

 

This stun gun is a 950,000 volt beauty designed to give you a punch with POWer. A great tool in crime prevention.

 

This patented device has a soft rubber skin and is sized to accommodate all hand sizes.

A safety switch is built in and accessible to your thumb. Once you grab the Knuckle Blaster stun gun you can flip off the safety and fire with the same hand. No need to use two hands.

 

As you may know stun guns temporarily incapacitate targets by sending a high voltage but low amperage charge of electricity to the nervous system causing a disruption in the body’s neurological impulses.

 

They control muscle movement and overwhelms the neuromuscular system causing the victim to lose balance. It also causes temporary partial paralysis and depletes the body’s system of blood sugar (energy) making the body too weak to move.

 

It takes just seconds but can immobilize a person for up to 10-15 minutes. The attacker just does not have any energy left.

 

They cause no long term damage. They do not rely on pain for results. The current cannot pass to your body thru the target.

 

This awesome self defense tool is great for women’s self defense and comes with

2 Lithium batteries (included) and a FREE leather belt holster ($15.00 Value) designed to allow quick access and deployment of this amazing stun weapon.

 

Police agencies the world over use many of them. Why shouldn’t you? If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY.

Stun guns are not legal in some states. Check with your local police department first before you get one. The Knuckle Blaster stun gun is one of the most powerful out there.

Every once in a while a new idea comes along that really rocks. This dynamic product comes shaped like a squared off horseshoe. The rubber coated soft contour grip is easy to hold and hang onto and is made of soft rubber. It assures full control. But the name says it all-double trouble stun gun.

 

Most stun guns have about 1.5 inches between contacts. The Double Trouble has nearly 5 inches which is what makes it so effective and unique-like two stun guns in one. Each side has 600,000 volts making it doubly effective and double trouble with double the stopping power at 1.2 million volts. The bad guys won’t know what hit them.

 

This self defense product has a safety switch on top with a red LED on/off indicator to let you know if the unit is ready to fire and melt your assailant into silly putty.

 

The Double Trouble Stun Gun comes with 2 CR 123A batteries a hand strap and a FREE Nylon carrying case and belt clip-a $15.00 value. This great tool is only 6″ long and weighs in at 6.9 oz making it ideal for walkers or joggers.

 

It is small enough to conceal to. BUT WHY? Strap it on your hand and you’re ready to go no matter what comes your way.

 

Stun guns temporarily incapacitate targets by sending a high voltage but low amperage charge of electricity to the nervous system causing a disruption in the body’s neurological impulses which causes the victim to lose balance.

 

It also causes temporary partial paralysis and depletes the body’s system of blood sugar (energy) making the body too weak to move.

 

A stun gun is a self defense weapon in the fight against crime: it is not lethal and at best will give the victim 2-3 minutes to escape.  Escape is better than the alternative.

There are a lot of choices in self defense products today. Police agencies the world over use many of them. Why shouldn’t you? If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY.

Stun guns are not legal in some states. Check with your local police department first before you get one. The Double Trouble Stun Gun is one of the most powerful out there.

When someone thinks of the stun guns in the market they think of a hand held item that is used to deliver a high level of electrical shock to a foe. This may have once been the main method of this type of gun, but is no longer the case.

The stun guns that are in the market can be grouped into four base groups. The first is of course the hand held taser that can deliver a shock to those that are foolish enough to assault the person wielding them. These are limited to the reach of the person and can cause problems as the person can suffer feedbacks if the assailant is touching them in other areas. This can prove to be counterproductive if the person is disabled along with the assailant.

The second method of stun guns is the ranged taser. These are usually designed to have a range of three to fifteen feet and will deliver a high level shock to the person that is assaulting the proposed victim. These have been the base standard of self-defense in these types of weapons. They require a low level of training and have little chance of the person suffering a feedback. They typically have a variety of voltage ranges when they are purchased and some have settings for this as well.

The third is common in use with some police forces and military. These are usually referred to as stun batons. They are effective a combination of a police baton and cattle prod. Some have seen these as something excessive and they are usually only used in extreme cases or in countries where police usually dont have access to guns. Some prisons also use these as the standard that the police in such institutions will utilize.

The fourth is one that has shown a high level of success in some police forces and the military. This is effectively an EMP gun. EMP is short for electro magnetic pulse, and this is a weapon that is usually used on vehicles to eliminate high-speed chases. The EMP will send a pulse that will fry all electrical systems in a vehicle and will render it useless. The advantage to this is that the criminal can be detained with little force; the draw back is if the car is stolen. The EMP will literally ruin all the electronics in a car and in most new cars that can effectively ruin the car as well.
