Do i have to touch my attacker with the stun gun for it to stun him?

Trust me my friend, do not and I will repeat "DO NOT" "BUY" into the hype of this item. It is honestly a toy. I have tested it on myself (don't ask why) it feels like the novelty shocker gum prank toy. It does not hold a good charge. I purchased two of these items both ran out of juice within the first week of "Beta-Testing" them don't waste your money. This product is a lemon. But if you insist on buying a taser. Purchase the : VIPERTEK VTS-989 - 38,000,000 V Heavy Duty Stun Gun - Rechargeable with LED Flashlight ) instead. You will thank me later.

All the literature I've come across indicates the answer is yes. My understanding is that tasers have a kind of projectile dart, but they appear to be a police implement not available to the general public.

Touch with a stun gun? Hmm of course. How else wd u zap him from distance? Lol it's not magic :)

Yes. This device does not contain the darts like those the police have. The notice it makes is very intimidating as well as the site of the electricity. This device also has extra features such as the handle strap.

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...

I do not know the difference of stun guns but I have tested this one on myself on my forearm a few times. It does make you lose complete control of the arm, not sure what it would do if held there a long time. The next 4-5 days I had teeth looking marks embedded in my arm so I know it did hit me pretty good. Ive never been hit with any other stun gun to compare it to so hopefully this helps some?

The pin (attached to the wrist band) will pull out of the bottom. The pin on my stun gun doesn't pull out easily so you'll need to give it a good tug. Removing the pin will NOT disable the flashlight.

Have not used on an attacker but my brother and I tried it on each other. It worked...lol but it is close contact only. It would certainly give one plenty of time to get away if you could get it out quick enough.

The better ones are set up to turn off the light while shocking to ensure maximum delivery to the stun gun. So, I'm sorry, but the answer is no. The SWPF7000R does not shock while the light is on.

If it doesn't work there is something wrong with your stun gun like mines :(

There is a switch on the body to select stun or light. And no you can not use stun and light at the same time.

it's not really a 'gun'; it's more of a taser- meaning you can't shoot prongs or sparks from it; it has to have direct contact with the assailant. It will work through clothing, but it does need to touch the person.

The best way to find out is to go to your local police/sheriff department and talk with them. I checked with the police and sheriff department and stun guns are legal where I live.

Yes, you have to touch the person to shock them. There are contact points on the front of the unit and they have to touch the person. BTW, you may have also noticed two sideways prongs sort of facing each other. When you press the button to fire the unit an arc flies between these two points making a loud electrical noise and a bright light and I think this alone would scare a lot of muggers, purse snatchers, etc. It's pretty loud and frightening.

you have to touch (or be really close to the skin) a part of the attackers body with the metal prongs just like ALL stun guns. this is NOT a taser. the prongs are sharp to penetrate clothing layers,however very thick clothing will prevent the electric arc from reaching the body. it seems to work best when you target a MUSCLE group (like those in the upper body,shoulder pectoral,etc) and NOT a layer of body fat. The arc is hot enough it will burn through clothing (and paper if its thin enough)if its not too thick. i suggest you carry pepper spray (O.C. spray,NOT "mace") for range (stream ,not fog)and have this as "last resort". the pepper spray i carrys contain CS tear gas as well as O.C. and is VERY nasty. the tear gas leaves a cloud to repel multiple attackers that you might not target directly.just make sure you avoid the tear gas cloud after you deploy the spray.

YES, the metal rings on the front of this flashlight MUST touch the person. Otherwise it will just show and sound the electric arcs without shocking the person.

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 had this for long time now but to be honest I did not have the gut to try it on myself or test it on someone. You should know that sometimes when you want to stun, it does not work and needs some more presses to start stunning. It is not effective for self defense and might simply get your butt kicked with ur own stun for it not working at that moment :] the light tho is the strongest I have ever experienced with a flashlight that size. I always carry it in my backpack coz u never know if needed a stun, light, or break a glass with it one day..

Most, if not all Police Force products are equipped with 3-postion switch for On, Light, Stun. In addition to placing this switch in the Stun position, you need to press a second button to fire it as a Stun gun. Reasons are (i) so you use all available battery power to create the maximum discharge, and (ii) so you don't zap someone by accident, including yourself. LLA Sales.

No and Yes ...the no is that it only shocks (use the highest setting, you can't really feel it if it is on the lesser of the options) and Yes, no one wants to play the game with me. :( It is fun for those of us that have a warped sense of humor like me. It does not shock anyone to where it hurts. It's just Hope this helps.

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?
