How Stun Guns Work ?

Stun guns use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for several minutes. The stun gun does not rely on high amperage or pain for results, rather most stun guns operate on milliamps hence making it a non lethal personal safety product. The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attackers muscles causing them to do a great deal of work rapidly. This rapid work cycle instantly depletes the attackers blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid. In short, he is unable to produce energy for his muscles, and his body is unable to function properly. The stun gun also interrupts the tiny neurological impulses that control and direct voluntary muscle movement. When the attackers intramuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the stun gun he loses his balance. Should the attacker be touching you, the current will NOT pass to your body!

Stun guns have been proven to be safe and effective non-lethal self defense products. They do not cause any permanent damage to an attacker. The effects on the heart or other major organs are very insignificant.
