The Human Body Vs The Stun Gun

The human brain sends galvanic signals throughout the body, increasing and contracting muscles in the right sequence critical for basic functions like walking, picking something up, going to sleep, etc. For instance, when we eat, the mouth signals the brain to tell it what the food tastes like. When we touch something, the hand sends a signal to the brain describing what the object feels like. So, electricity is used by the body to divulge with the brain.

Stun guns disrupt this galvanic transportation theory by delivering a high-voltage, low amperage electrical fee (high pressure, low intensity). The high voltage of stun guns allows it to pass straight through heavy clothing and penetrate. Their low intensity prevents permanent damage to the body, unless it is applied for an extended period of time - it only takes 1-5 seconds for it to have its affect.

Damage History

The greatest effect of a stun gun is to confuse the brain:

o The galvanic fee combines with the brain's galvanic signals, essentially adding random noise to the body's transportation theory and thus overloading the theory to the point that the brain has a difficult time getting straight through to the body's muscles to tell it to move. This temporarily, partially paralyzes the body.

o The galvanic current from the stun gun mimics the body's electrical signals, overloading it with instructions. The body then uses all its energy, and it fast becomes very weak.

So, this is how stun guns are able to incapacitate - applying electricity to the body's muscles and nerves. With muscles and nerves all over the body, it doesn't matter where it touches the body. As a personal security device, these non-lethal weapons are great for providing security against attackers while preventing permanent damage.
