Stun guns and tasers are both effective in providing protection for you and your family. There are various sizes and styles of stun guns. There are batons, cell phone, stun guns, stun master guns, just to name a few. You can purchase these devices offering various degrees of voltage ranging anywhere from 50,000 to 950,000 volts. The stun gun works by discharging this voltage from two electrodes protruding from the end of the device. When the triggers pulled while touching the assailant high voltage and low amperage go from the electrodes through the assailants’ clothes and into his body.
The pulsed current causes the assailants muscles to rapidly constrict go through a super fast refractory period then constrict over and over, thus depleting him of his glucose. The entire process takes only seconds and is extremely painful. If the stun gun is held on the assailant after he falls, the muscles will cramp up temporarily leaving him disabled. At this time you can get away and call the police. The taser on the other hand is a hand held device which shoots darts into the assailants’ skin. This keeps you at a safe distance from the assailant. In police studies, the Taser C2 has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. These units can be purchased with an optional laser light.
They can reach an assailant up to 15 feet away. They work on the same principle as the stun gun affecting the central nervous system but, send a more powerful punch.
