subject: Stun Gun Products-why They Are So Popular [print this page] Self defense products have been around in one shape or another for thousands of years. Even going back to the days when cavemen used throw rocks and stones at his enemies. They provide a nonlethal alternative to a handgun's deadly force. Their purpose is to give you time to get away from a potentially dangerous situation to seek help.
They all do that in a variety of ways. Stun guns are second only to pepper sprays in terms of popularity. They are on average close to 90 percent effective. Tasers, which is another stun device, are nearly 100 percent effective. They are unfortunately much more expensive.
Stun guns use high-voltage and low amperage to disable an attacker temporarily for up to 10 minutes. The electrical charge in the gun causes the attacker's muscles to over work in a rapid manner. This exertion depletes the blood sugars of the assailant making him unable to produce energy for his muscles so he can't do anything. Stun guns also interrupt the nerves that control muscle movement, causing him to lose balance.
Here's why stun gun products are so popular.
1. They are cost effective with several models below $40.00 each.
2. They have a great track record of success for decades.
3. They are easy to use, easy to carry and easy to conceal
4. Some are easily disguised as cell phones, pens, lipsticks and flashlights and camera cellphones.
