Are Stun Guns Affordable?

By Claudette Gambino


Learning About the Different Types of Stun Guns

The neuromuscular system is what is targeted when a stun gun is used on a person. The effect of this will be temporary loss of mobility, allowing the victim time to escape. Stun guns come in a whole lot of shapes and sizes such as the traditional forms of batons or guns, but are now also available in more innovative shapes such as flashlights, pens, cell phones, and even lipsticks.

Stun guns come in three generally different forms. The first kind is a static charge gun, where an attacker is immobilized through a static electrical charge. A phase induction stun gun makes use of less voltage but creates more powerful results faster. Finally, the T-Wave gun is a type of stun gun that send an electric current through the body and temporarily halts an attacker's brain signals.

Static charge guns certainly have a lower voltage than phase induction guns, at around 80,000 and 625,000 volts versus 100,000 to 625,000. Compared to static charge gun, one that uses phase induction technology will always be far more effective and efficient even against a higher charge static stun gun.

Taser guns, or our T-Wave stun gun, is the type of gun that makes use of the EMD technology. In a Taser gun, darts are fired through compressed air particles and these darts are carrying electric currents. Taser guns carry a charge of 50,000 volts and create significant pain to an attacker's body and muscles, leading them to contract rapidly and experience temporary paralysis. Imbalance in the neuromuscular system caused by the temporary interruption of brain signals to the body is what makes T-Wave guns so effective.

Stun guns can penetrate even through thick layers of clothing, another thing that makes them very effective. With it's high voltage currents that cause quick immobilization and the fact that it does not do any permanent damage, stun guns are highly effective even when targeted anywhere on the body. In the world today, it is already wise to start thinking about the safety tools you can make use of to protect yourself. To keeps things away from criminal behavior, stun guns are a great choice, causing only temporary but non-lethal pain. Stun guns give you the window of time to escape and report your incident to the police.

Stun guns are perhaps the most popular and widely used item when it comes to self defense. This is no surprise as stun guns are very easy to use, effective, affordable, and comes in a lot of different forms. The best thing about a stun gun is that its effect is not lethal and your use of a stun gun will not bring you any criminal liabilities.
