Taser advertises that their flagship products use a very specific technology. Is this just a "stun gun" or does it feature the same "NMI" and such?

It is only a stun gun. It does not have the capability to cause NMI. It would have to fire the cartridge with the probes in order to cause NMI.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "shooting" vs "stunning" but I specifically bought the stun gun to carry while walking my two dogs. Both my dogs have been attacked while on leash by loose dogs in my neighborhood. While turned on and activated, I have used the "shooting" feature to scare a dog because there is a loud buzzing noise and sparks that shoot out. I have not actually touched anything with the strips on the side activated, but feel so much more confident while out walking. The flashlight feature is great and very bright. It is lightweight if you balance it in your hand so I have no problem carrying it and it's unobtrusive. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

You mean the strap? Once the Strap is pulled from the Stun gun, it disables it. So the aggressor cannot use the weapon against you. But remember, if they do pull the stun gun out of your control, you now have no defense against them.Hope that helps,Dale :O)

I don't have a clue. As I understand it, there is no amperage with the charge, so it's not enough power to light up Atlanta, GA. Still, I wouldn't "play" with it. I know of no way to test it, except to "dry-fire" it and watch the sparks. I haven't even tried that. The flashlight works fine, the holster is very functional, so I assume the "stun gun" will work fine as well. Sorry, that's all I can tell you. If you "dry-fire " it, and you see sparks, I would assume it works just fine. 28 million volts...?? Who knows. It won't take that much power by far to discourage an attacker. Hal I don't have a clue.

I have been stunned by several different devices, and this one is definitely less effective than say a police-type taser which fires barbs and wires. I used this one on myself as well, and it did shock me through heavy clothing, but barely. I think this one is more about surprise and distraction of an agressor. It snaps very loud and bright, which would make most people back off immediately... Especially someone who has never been tazed before.

With any stun gun you must touch the attacker. A taser on the other hand shoots out leads a couple feet to hit them. I highly recomend this product as I will explain. I felt and after getting the product, STILL feel safe having this in my wifes hands.... It has a wrist strap so if it is taken away from you it cannot be used ON YOU. It also has a flashlight in it which is a very good "excuse" to have the thing in your hand at all times needed. Keep in mind a taser has leads on it and TO ME (just my opinion) that leaves 2 feet of room for error. This stun gun, although I have not used it on a person, seems to have almost twice the stopping power as most on the market. Im not saying its the right choice for everyone but I am hoping that that clears up confussion between a stun gun and taser???

Uhm, no, the brand is Guard Dog. It has nothing to do with dogs itself... it's just a small stun gun.

They work separately, not together. You CANNOT use the flashlight while using the stun feature.

yes... but you dont have to touch them for the stun gun to go off and make noise. plus it has a real loud siren and Im telling you that alone will make someone think twice about attacking you... We gave this to my dad for a gift and he loves it because to charge it the plug is actual built into the gun and you can charge it at work or whatever. I would recommend this to anyone actually...

The don't really hurt except for an occasional light burn. But stun guns and tazers work by overloading the muscles with electrical information, the person's muscles begin rapidly contracting and releasing making it impossible to stand or continue an attack. But then again, if you are forced to use this against someone attacking you, do you you really care if they areally in temporary pain?

There is a holster and it has a double switch to work the stun. The switch forward one time for the light and forward again to activate the gun, but then you have to push a button.

No. It is a three position switch. Off, light, stun. Then there is a button past the three position switch you press to test fire.

5 mila amps is the limit that your heart or electronic implants can handle. Most stun guns are only 1_2 mila amps

On my flashlight, the stun gun works with the bottom switch on. The flashlight does not work when the stun gun is armed. I wish it did. Hope this helps

Sorry, I never used it. It was a gift for someone. I have been told it is not a retractable taser but a contact taser.....

Yes, you have to turn off the flashlight to use the stun. It won't tase while it's on.
