Learn How Stun Guns Work

This article on how stun guns work covers the different types of stun guns, and how they can stop an attacker.

Stun guns are self defense devices that can deliver tens to hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity to quickly subdue an attacker.

The way in which a stun gun's electric shock is delivered depends on the type of stun gun. The most common are the ones that have to be pressed directly against the attackers body. Some are equipped with compressed gas to shoot conductive darts (wire attached or wireless) from a distance. Others can do both. Still, others can spray electrically charged liquid.

There are three major ways a stun gun can stop an attacker. The first is through pain, in which the jolt of electricity is both startling and excruciating. The second is by disrupting the body's communication systems. The electrical charge interferes with the brain's ability to control muscles, causing the attacker to be confused and uncoordinated. The third is by depleting the energy levels. The huge amounts of electricity that is dumped into the body causes the muscles to spasm convulsively, diminishing sugar levels and building up lactic acid, which tires the attacker.
