How do stun weapons work

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

OK so here we go. The traditional stun gun has two portruding electrodes (positive and negative) which set up an electrical circuit between them so that current will pass between them when the stun gun is activated.

The early models are typically powered by nine volt alkaline batteries and have longer portruding electrodes. Some of us (including Poppajohn) prefer these. Most of the later models use three volt lithium camera batteries. This allows them to be constructed on a smaller frame. This also makes them a lot more handy and easier to carry. Along with that they typically use smaller electrodes that lay flat across the front of the stun gun, there is no evidence that this makes them any less effective than the larger more portruding electrodes, it does however contribute to their being easier to carry.

Power from the batteries is passed to a coil (some use more than 1) where the voltage is increased to pretty much any level desired. The higher the voltage the more impressive the spark and the electrical noise when testing the unit (scary). Civilian stun guns use high voltage (up to a million or more) at low wattage (7 to 14 watts) and miniscule amperage (around a miliamp) to temporarily disable an attacker for anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes relatively harmlessly. The units do tend to produce two small burn marks where the current enters and leaves the body.

These weapons therefore work by interfering with the communication signals within the nervous system of the target. Conventional stun systems primarily effect the sensory nervous system. Something like static on the communication lines between the brain and the body and in so doing they interfere with the human command and control systems. The effect is the muscles contract and relax at a very high rate.

So stun guns use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for several minutes. The stun gun does not rely on pain for results. The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attacker’s muscles causing them to do a great deal of work rapidly. This rapid work cycle instantly depletes the attacker’s 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 attacker’s neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the stun gun he loses his balance, you should then be prepared to catch your assailant and help him to the ground. Should the attacker be touching you, the current will NOT pass to your body! However, a small percentage of people with very high tolerance for electrical stimulation can fight through the effect.
EMD weapons (tasers) use a more powerful 18 to 26 Watt electrical signal to completely override the central nervous system and directly control the skeletal muscles. This EMD effect causes an uncontrollable contraction of the muscle tissue, allowing the M-Series to physically debilitate a target regardless of pain tolerance or mental focus. The ADVANCED TASER M-Series are EMD weapons — specifically designed to stop even the most elite, aggressive, focused combatants. Rather than simply interfering with communication between the brain and muscles, the ADVANCED TASER EMD systems directly tell the muscles what to do: that is contract until the target is in the fetal position on the ground.

Some stun guns are built to resemble something other than a stun gun such as a cell phone or flashlight or some other unique design which gives you a tactical advantage because since it looks like a harmless cell phone or what ever, it will be easy to surprise an attacker. Remember, the purpose of a taser gun or a stun gun, and all other non-lethal self defense products, is to give you time to escape. Use the stun gun, then head for safety. Don’t stand around checking out the slobbering mook on the ground, clear the area.

Fat Al takes the prize

Monday, December 10th, 2007

Fat Al and Tipper were over in Norway apparently where the world gathers to honor the clinically obese.
Now to be fair it did look like both may have lost a few pounds on the latest Hollywood crash diet; But I heard the rumor that there was a lemon shortage where they had been staying the last two weeks. And Tippers hair looked good.

Now to address Fat Al’s speech.

According to Fat Al, those who fail to listen to his call must be compared to those who failed to listen when Adolph Hitler was speaking in the 1930’s. Global warming is now historically equal to the Holocaust. This actually received quite warm applause.

So if you disagree with whatever Fat Al says, you are a Nazi. That will really promote peace, love, and understanding. In fact, that kind of language probably hasn’t been used since the…Inquisition, come to think of it. Since the category of those who disagree with the Fat Al Doctrine does include De Old Effo Yours Truly, it tends to bring on a little shudder.

Probably a vain hope but lets hope Fat Al sticks to the dinner table, and stays out of politics. With that sweetheart Google stock deal he must be worth at least 500 million dollars, so for sure he doesn’t need the money.

Poppajohn, here
My blog here has been broke folks, please don’t think too ill of me for no postings in awhile.
Just wanted to wish all the folks on the tip and bonus newsletter a happy Thanksgiving. It’s kinda chilly and foggy here in southern Cal. That’s about as close as it get’s to Fall here. If you’ll be away sometime this holiday season you might wanta check out the Mace Wireless Home Security System www.personalsecurity4u.net/macewirelesshomesecurity.htm It makes a great house sitter. I also like the Secure Dog, this thing is cool. www.personalsecurity4u.net/electronicwatchdog.htm and is a dynamite addition to any home security plan. And if you order either of these items before next Tuesday I will throw in two Magnetic Door Alarms for nuttin. Just remember to mention them in the comments section when you check out. God Bless, Have a great, happy and safe Thanksgiving!
Be armed, aware and have a plan, Poppajohn
