How to Effectively Use Your Stun Gun?
Posted by SwordsSwords on Nov 23rd 2018
Self-defense is truly imperative, particularly in a survival situation. Using a non-lethal weapon is an effective way to protect yourself and your family against an aggressor. One of the most popular and efficient self-defense weapons is the stun gun. The weapon uses a powerful voltage of electric current to resist and harm an attacker.
Keeping a stun gun will help you neutralize any sort of target without the risk of killing it. Most stun guns carry an electric capacity of 20,000 to 150,000 volts with an operative range of 15 to 20 ft. The weapon works by stopping the electric pulses through electric shock produced from the gun resisting all physical functions for a short time span. Above all, it is crucial to learn how to successfully use your stun gun. This article will help you learn the method of using your stun gun to maximize its efficiency. Though keep in mind that there are two types of stun guns including close range and projectile. The projectile ones are the safest options but are relatively expensive.
Follow the below-listed steps on how to efficiently use your stun gun:
- The very first thing to remember is to hit the target with the stun gun prior to pressing its button that allows the electric shock to directly hit him. Make sure to hold your stun gun against the attacker for 3-5 seconds before taking it away. Though it primarily depends on the stun gun’s voltage power. Prefer using the weapon in close range since the electric voltage from the gun is only powerful to enter the target’s body in a close range. It won’t electrocute even if you come in contact with the target.
- Keep in mind to use the safety button of your stun gun to prevent any unwanted incidents. At times, stun gun owners accidentally shock themselves while reaching for their gun from their pockets or handbags. The lock is an effective feature to keep your companions or family protected from being electrocuted. Remember to handle the gun on the switch and security plate area instead of touching the probes in it to keep yourself away from any shock. Make sure you are pressing the button while engaging a target. It will give off powerful electric current till you release the switch. Just don’t press it if you are simply playing around.
- It's important to learn when to use the stun gun to defend yourself. For instance, if you are walking into a risky area such as dark woods where you feel the danger of being attacked then make sure to have your stun gun ready in your hand and not in your bag or pockets. Also, you need to learn the efficacious use of self-defense weapon in various environments and situations so you can successfully defend yourself and your family. Practice using your stun gun to get familiar with the techniques and process required.
- Keep yourself prepared to use your stun gun. Do not get yourself into a dangerous situation just because you are still finding your gun when someone is attacking you. Make sure to immediately get your weapon ready when you feel uncomfortable or when in an unsafe situation.
- Practice makes the man perfect. Always practice and learn how to successfully hit and give the required amount of voltage to stop an attacker. Also, remember to hit the target before you press the button to deliver the electric shock. Do not be afraid to use a lot of voltage because at the end of the day it can’t kill the attacker. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
