 About stun gun voltage: I am not a lab technician, nor do I claim to be a specialist in electronics. I am a security products dealer that has been in the business over 20 years and I am very serious about selling quality products and not hype. It's hard to tell which guns are better by the box, so I only advertise the voltages indicated by the manufacturer but I cannot guarantee them. I honestly have no idea what the actual voltage is that the guns produce. I can honestly tell you is which guns have more power and a stronger bite by my own testing with both physical and audible evaluations.-Irv Miller Stun guns have been on the market now for well over two decades. Law enforcement were using Nova Stun Guns back in the late 80's and there were a string of companies that came and went along the way. Stun guns are an electrical self-defense device that puts out a high voltage and low amperage shock that causes pain and electrical disruption to an assailant. When you hit some one with the stun device the electrical charge makes a loop through the body. Basically jumping from one probe through the body and back out to the other probe. The further the spread of the contact points, the more devastating the effects are to the assailant. This is why TASER® products that shoot projectiles that spread out before hitting the target typically drop the target to the ground because the current is moving over a larger muscle area. What the current does is cause the muscles to do a lot of work very rapidly. Your body tightens up to defend against the pain whether is a strike from a fist to the stomach or a stun gun to the chest. This depletes the blood sugar and starts converting it in to lactic acid. Once enough lactic acid builds up the target can no longer create energy and they lose control of their body. This usually takes several seconds of contact at a minimum to make this happen. People in pain want to get away and that is what you should expect. When you hit some one with a hand-held unit they will back up immediately and try to avoid the source of the pain, IE the stun gun. Even the sound is enough to intimidate most people and even animals. The voltage on a stun gun may appear high, but it is the amps that actually matter when it comes to permanent damage or death. The stun guns we sell are less-lethal devices. They are designed NOT to kill people, but merely to cause pain to gain control or to get away depending on the application. To put things in perspective, one amp will kill a person. Our stun guns deliver 3 to 4 milliamps. This is far below the amperage that could do any lasting damage to an individual. Stun guns are considered reasonable force to resist attack. They can be used many times to ward off attackers before the battery needs recharging, or replacing. Even if the assailant is touching you, there is no way the current will pass to you. There is no shock-back. When using the stun gun on an assailant, you will not hear the loud zapping electrical discharge that you do when testing. All the available energy is being discharged into his body. The stun gun cannot be damaged by the continuous firing into an assailant. However: DO NOT DISCHARGE THE UNIT INTO THE AIR FOR MORE THAN ONE SECOND. REPEAT FIRING FOR LONGER DURATION'S CAN DAMAGE THE UNIT AND VOID THE WARRANTY! Power Source - Stun guns use a variety of power sources from 9 volt batteries to rechargeable Ni Cad batteries. Some of the smaller compact units use 3 volt lithium batteries that have up to a 10 year shelf life. WARRANTY - There is a lifetime warranty on most of our stun guns. Warranty is usually mentioned under the specs of the gun. Please Note: Although J & L Sells the best stun guns available, they still are a close quarters weapon, and require several seconds of contact to be effective. Because of this, we will always advise you to purchase a DPS Pepper Spray FIRST. Our pepper spray is the best in the world, and will stop anyone! Our spray takes them down in 1 to 2 seconds in most cases and keeps them down for 30 minutes or longer. DPS spray is not what you will find on the cheaper sites or in most areas for that matter, it is a law enforcement and corrections item that we sell to the public. It is the only thing you can legally carry in most areas that will take a big fellow like myself down. Stun guns, TASER® and even Myotrons have all been tested by me and will not take me down before I can get them away and hurt you. Why tell us this and cost yourself money? Because we care. J & L is a real people, hands on kind of company. I have to sleep at night, so I will let you know my honest professional opinion in any situation. Stun guns do have a purpose and a place in the self defense lineup, but DPS Defense Spray is what I would push to you if you could not afford both.
