Stun batons
Stun batons are electric weapons which incapacitate attackers by delivering high voltage to their muscles. They can't move or stand and are thus unable to function normally. Stun batons can cause minor injuries but cause a lot of pain.
Stun guns
The stun gun works in the same way as an electric baton by injecting an electric current at high pulse frequencies into the muscles of a person. This causes muscles to work faster, depleting blood sugar and turning it into lactic acids. This results in confusion, disorientation, and muscle spasms.
Stun belts
Stun belts are electronic devices attached to the waist. They have been a popular addition to corrections gear in recent years. The stun-belt's advantage is that it can be used anywhere guards are not within close proximity to the prisoner. Some belts can actually be set off up to 300 feet from the person.
Anti-grab stun batons
Anti-grab stun batons are a fantastic tool for self-defense and everyday carry. They can be used to deliver severe strikes and shocks to attackers. They can be deadly weapons if not used properly. Anti-grab stun bombons are equipped with anti-grab technology to ensure that no one is able grab the shaft and activate the painful electric shock.
Self-defense stun guns
A personal stungun is an effective weapon for self defense. These are small enough that they can be carried around your waist or in your glove pocket. They are rechargeable and last a long time. Some stun guns have a flashlight and can also be recharged, so you can use it at night.
Technology for an electroshock weapon
Electroshock weapon technology uses an electrical charge to incapacitate an attacker. The output voltage ranges from 50 kV to 6800 kV. The actual output current can vary depending on skin type, clothing, and other factors. It is also dependent upon the battery condition as well as internal circuitry.
