subject: stun guns Safety [print this page] Safety is something that has become a real concern now days. It has become a headache for many of us. Thus the need of a good security system is really essential. This need has developed a new industry of security products.
With the advancement of science and technology, these days we get a number of options when we search for safety tools. Stun guns are one of them. These guns are not like real guns. It does not release bullets. Instead it gives electric shock. Interesting isn't it? Of course it is, but before you actually use it, do make sure that it won't be deadly. The companies do assure you that just for a while it will make the person inactive. But I would personally suggest you to check twice before you apply it one someone as you might be in trouble if something serious happens to the person.
There are many various types of stun guns like Talon, Stun Batons, Stun Master and Cell Phone Stun Guns. Some are specially created keeping women in mind. Even the voltage of the electricity of these stun guns differs in each model. With most of the models life time warranty is offered. There are two options; few needs battery and few can be charged. Both have its own advantages so before choosing consider what suits you. These stun guns can be used by normal citizens. These are also used by security guards and watch mans. It is handy and comes in different models.
We all may have a sufficient supply of weapons such as shotguns, revolvers or semi-automatic rifles but we really would hate to use them if an alternative solution were at hand. These weapons would be our last choice and we would prefer to keep them as that last resort. A better means may be by using either a stun gun or a taser for the job at hand. These are handy items to keep in your home, your bug out vehicle, or in your emergency preparedness kit.
Many people do not understand what the difference is between a stun gun and a taser. The concepts revolve mostly upon the amount of voltage and current used by each device. As an example, a stun gun has between 50,000 and several million volts which are applied to the two contacts. This may sound like a lot of voltage but that is only its instantaneous voltage. Upon contact with the skin the voltage of a stun gun will drop drastically to approximately 2300 volts. Although drastically reduced it is still an effective amount of voltage to get the job done. It isn't really the voltage that is of concern with these types of weapons but rather the applied current.
