| you. Lets start with the first question. | | | | Which stun gun is the best to buy? |
| How exactly does a stun gun work? | | | | This is an easy one. This all depends on your personal |
| The batteries supply electricity to a circuit consisting of | | | | preference. There are pink stun guns, yellow ones, |
| various electrical components. The circuitry includes | | | | camouflage ones, big ones, small ones, short ones, tall |
| multiple transformers, components that boost the | | | | ones. Well I know I got a little Doctor Seuss on you |
| voltage in the circuit, typically to between 20,000 and | | | | there but you get the picture. My personal favorite is |
| 150,000 volts, and reduce the amperage. It also includes | | | | the cell phone stunner. It is shaped and looks like a cell |
| a oscillator, a component that fluctuates current to | | | | phone but it is every bit a powerful stun gun. |
| produce a specific pulse pattern of electricity. This | | | | Well there you have it. You now know how a stun gun |
| current charges a capacitor. The capacitor builds up a | | | | works, what it does to the body and which one you |
| charge, and releases it to the electrodes, the "business | | | | should buy. I guess the only thing you have left to do is |
| end" of the circuit. | | | | buy one, right? Well whatever you decide to do be |
| What does a stun gun do to the body? | | | | safe and I wish everyone the best in all their duties and |
| The basic idea of a stun gun is to disrupt this | | | | in life. And now that you have read this, you are "Not a |
