Stun Gun Information

What Is A Stun Gun?

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 is very serious about selling quality products. I test all the guns we sell and I only advertise the voltages indicated by the manufacturer. I honestly have no idea what the actual voltage is that the guns produce, all I can honestly tell you is which guns have more power and a stronger bite.

 

A stun gun is a legal electrical self-defense device that puts out a high voltage and low amperage shock. 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. However, most stun guns on the market are only 1 to 2 milliamps, making them far less effective than our stun guns.

By merely touching a person with the stun gun for a few seconds, he can immobilized for several minutes with no permanent harm. 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.

Effects and Safety - The stun gun does not merely rely on pain for results. The stun gun works on the muscular and neural system. When 3-5 seconds of contact is made with the stun gun, an assailant's neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled, causing loss of balance and muscle control, confusion and disorientation. The effect on the heart is insignificant. It takes 5 to 10 minutes for full recovery.

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 - The stun gun works most effectively with a 9-volt Ni-Cad rechargeable battery. Alkaline batteries will also work, regular batteries will not. Some of our Law Enforcement Stun Guns come with Long Life Lithium Batteries.

WARRANTY - There is a lifetime warranty on most of our stun guns. Omega guns have only a one-year warranty against manufacturer's defects. If you should receive a defective stun gun, just contact us here at J & L to arrange for a replacement.

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 military 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, Air Tasers™ 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.

Now if you really want a stun gun, then buy a spray too, you can't go wrong with both.
