What Does a Stun Gun Do to the Human Body?

The word "stun" has a mysterious ring to it. It is synonymous
with words like "overwhelm," "stupefy," and "daze." What
do these words really mean? In other words, what would happen to
your victim if you touch him with your stun gun? What would
happen to you if you stunned yourself? Could someone be
permanently injured, or worse, die? To sum it up: What are the
effects of a stun gun shock? These are all important questions -
questions with solid answers.


What Is A Stun Gun?

As stun gun is a small hand held weapon that must be touched to
the attacker's body in order to be effective - you don't
"shoot" anyone." Immediately upon making contact, the stun
gun delivers a high-voltage (generally 85,000 volts to 625,000
volts), low-amperage electrical charge. The electricity emitted
travels through clothing and penetrates the skin. This means
that you don't need to be all that coordinated to be able to use
a stun gun - the effects of a stun gun will be the same whether
you touch a heavy sweatshirt, a muscular leg, the back of the
hand, or anywhere else on your attacker.

And what about those results? You can expect the attacker to
immediately lose control of his nervous system and his muscular
system, causing him to hit the ground hard. Your attacker will
not be able to sort out the thoughts racing wildly through his
mind, reeling in confusion and the inability to control his
movement. As excruciating as the attacker's situation might
be, he is temporarily disabled, not dying. Your attacker will be
in this condition from five to fifteen minutes depending on how
long you held the stun gun in place.


How Long Will The Shock Last?

According to the experts, a shock of less than a second will stop
an attacker in his tracks. Three seconds will keep an attacker
immobilized for up to twenty minutes or more. This gives you an
opportunity to run or fight back, seeking law enforcement as
quickly as possible.


What If You Stun Yourself?

Because of the deliberate nature of putting your hands on the
stun gun and pressing in very specific places to get the shock
going, it is highly unlikely that you will ever stun yourself.
And you can't get shocked by touching an individual who has been
shocked - the charge will not transfer to you. But if you do
happen to shock yourself, you may be able to focus on only one
thought. That thought should be, "This is temporary." Since
the length of temporary disability is directly related to how
long you receive the shock, odds are in your favor that your
immobility will last only seconds. This is because you will
immediately drop the stun gun at the first recognition of being
zapped. The effects of a stun gun can range from a "quick but
effective scare" to a full on "drop them to the ground"
shock.
