Stun guns are an increasingly popular self defense tool especially among women. Stun guns are not lethal like firearms and not lacerative like knives. These stun guns have the ability to put down an attacker with a simple push of a button. It is the voltage in stun guns that can put down an attacker.
What is a stun gun?
Traditionally, a stun gun is a handheld device that has a trigger and two metal prongs at the end of the unit. One must make contact with the perpetrator by placing the two metal prongs of the stun gun anywhere on his body and pulling the trigger. The stun gun is operated by a power source provided usually by a 9 V battery.
How does a stun gun work?
An electric shock will be delivered to the attacker’s muscles thus causing severe muscular contractions that will produce lactic acid. Lactic acid is a byproduct produced by the muscles when a muscle is being overworked from the effects of the stun gun. Lactic acid will result when fatiguing a muscle that is exposed to repeated electric shock from a stun gun.
Furthermore, the electric shock from the stun gun will interrupt the attacker’s nervous system and minimize communication from the brain to the peripheral nerves. This interruption in “nerve flow” as well as the electrifying effects of the stun gun will temporarily incapacitate a potential attacker who is out to get you.
What are other types of stun guns?
There is a law enforcement edition of a stun gun called the Taser. Most popular among law enforcement personnel is the M-18 Taser stun gun. A Taser stun gun contains two metal darts that are connected to fine, threadlike wiring. Once a Taser stun gun is fired upon a perpetrator, the two darts stick to the person’s body. The handheld unit of the Taser stun gun contains the trigger that, once pulled, will send an electric shock through the wiring, through the darts, and into the person. The ultimate result will be that the perpetrator will fall to the ground in agonizing pain.
This particular stun gun is very effective in short range (up to 15 feet) confrontations without the user having to come into physical contact with the perpetrator.
Stun batons are another kind of stun gun device. Stun batons are a fan favorite among security guards. With their extended reach, one can maintain a distance between himself and the perpetrator. These stun batons have two metal strips on each side of the baton. If the perpetrator attempts to grab the baton, he will be electrified. Our stun batons come in two flavors, 300,000 V and 500,000 V, and measure 16″ in length.
Telescopic Stun Baton by Stun Master. This particular item measures 13″ closed, 21.5″ open, and puts out a whopping 800,000 V. It also contains a personal alarm and flashlight for night time use. This item makes an excellent, concealable tool for your utility belt. Unlike the aforementioned stun baton, the Telescopic Stun Baton contains metal around the entire shaft of the baton and not just two strips of metal.

Thursday, September 27th, 2007Funny Gifts and Joke Presents- Because Life is Too Short not to Have a Good Belly Laugh Now and Again!
Sunday, September 26th, 2004My Linh Duong asked:
In this fast paced and stressful life that we often lead, one can have the tendency to forget how to laugh. The adage ‘laughter is the best medicine’ could well be true as there is strong evidence to suggest that laughter can actually improve health. I have read that laughter therapy (also known as psycho-neuroimmunology) can actually reduce stress hormone. The psychological benefits of humour are being recognised in the healthcare field. People often store negative emotions, such as anger, sadness and fear, rather than expressing them. Laughter provides a way for these emotions to be harmlessly released. Laughter is cathartic. Laughter also triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, and produces a general sense of well-being.
There are of course many reasons why a person laughs, but it is often as a response to what is said and what is seen. When choosing a gift for your friend or family member, would it not be an excellent idea to buy a funny gift, joke gift or a *** gift. Of course the funnier the gift, the bigger and louder the laugh! In this short article I want to highlight 5 top amusing and affordable funny gifts.
Executive Gentlemen’s Ball Scratcher- this really is the ultimate funny gift for men, boyfriends or husbands. This is definitely the present for the man who has everything! Aimed at the “Busy Male Executive” is the Gentleman’s Ball Scratcher! For the days when your own hands are just not precise enough, the Gentleman’s Ball Scratcher is in the shape of a delicate female hand, for those hard to reach places. The 9 inch handle provides excellent extra length to help get around difficult obstacles (beer bellies, old pizza, empty beer cans etc.) and provide the relief so many crave…not he can do it with style. This is most certainly not a gift for the ladies.
Crazy 8 Ball- the crazy 8 ball is perfect for those who play ball but often looses. This 2 inch diameter ball feels and looks exactly like a normal Pool ball but it has one fun difference which makes it wobble and go in all directions except the one intended. Just watch the amazement on your opponents face, as after you have discretely substituted the 8 Ball, he tries his pot! A really fun gift idea that will give you many laughs.
Remote Controlled **** Machine- We all remember the good old fashioned Whoopee Cushion don’t we? Now take this hilarious ******* *** to a whole new level with this remote controlled **** machine. The remote works at impressive distances and the machine produces a variety of realistic sounds, from polite little “boom-sa-lars” to a “morning after baked beans” trumpet.
USB Missile Launcher- The ultimate weaponry gadget in office warfare, the USB controlled Missile Launcher with sound effects is controlled by your PC and fires foam darts. Next time someone annoys you, take aim, and fire. Your PC can control the aim and will also fire the dart.
Beer Alarm- Protect you precious pint with this Beer Burglar Alarm System. Attach the little “sucker” to the side of you beer glass or bottle, set the proximity alert and walk away. Whenever someone comes within 30cm (12 inches) of your beer the mafia style voice alert sounds: “Keepa Da Hands off ma BEER!” The alarm can go off as a Siren or as the Mafia Voice.
These are only a minute handful of the large range of funny gifts available. However, one common purpose they should all have, is to make the person laugh.
