Stun guns, often referred to as tasers or conducted energy weapons, temporarily incapacitate a person by delivering a high-voltage electric shock that disrupts the body’s neuromuscular system. This interference causes uncontrolled muscle contractions, leading to temporary paralysis and loss of control.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
High-voltage shock:
Stun guns generate a high-voltage (e.g., 50,000 volts) electrical pulse.
Neuromuscular disruption:
This pulse disrupts the communication between the brain and muscles, causing uncontrolled muscle spasms.
Muscle contractions:
The sudden and powerful muscle contractions can lead to a person falling or becoming temporarily incapacitated.
Temporary incapacitation:
The effects of the shock are typically temporary, lasting for a few minutes.
While stun guns can be effective in temporarily disabling a person, it’s important to note that they are not without risks and potential complications, according to the provided articles.

Stun guns work by inflicting localized pain through direct contact. When activated, a stun gun is pressed against an attacker, causing electricity to travel through their skin and deliver a sharp pain as long as the weapon remains in contact.

What do Tasers do to the body?
This current activates nerves under the skin which then cause muscles to contract. When this happens, the contractions produced by the CED override a person’s ability to make voluntary movements – the person will not be able to run away or physically attack someone.

What are the benefits of a Taser?
Using Tasers could reduce risk of injury to police officers, offenders, and members of the public. When used in probe mode, Tasers are effective against people who do not feel or respond to pain. This includes people who are particularly motivated, extremely aggressive, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

How much damage does a taser do?
A 2012 study published in the American Heart Association’s journal Circulation found that Tasers can cause “ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest and even death”. At least 49 people died in 2018 in the US after being shocked by police with a Taser.

How long are the effects of a taser?
This muscular incapacitation only continues for as long as the Taser discharge is applied. The Taser discharges in 5-second cycles; this can be re-engaged but equally can be cut short by turning the safety function on. Recovery should be almost instant.

Is it safe to use a Taser?
In conclusion, while tasers are generally considered safe and non-lethal, there is a possibility of death under certain circumstances. To mitigate risks, proper training, guidelines, and precautions should be followed when using this device.

Do tasers leave scars?
Skin effects: May leave marks at site of probe contact, called “signature marks” Small puncture wound from barbs. Burns from ignition of explosive or ignitable materials (gasoline) have been reported.

Do tasers work through clothes?
The short answer is yes, stun guns work through most clothing, but keep in mind that while electric current will penetrate clothing in most cases, it depends on the thickness of the clothes of the attacker and a stun gun is most effective when in close contact with bare skin.

TW-2301 personal security stun gun Method of use

Recharging
The mini electric shocker must be fully charged prior to use. Recharge using the included USB – C charging cord. When you plug the device in, blue lights on the device will indicate charge level. Once fully charge all lights will remain on.

Important: Charging time could be up to 8 hours. Overcharging may damage the personal security stun gun and void the warranty. Under normal use, TW-2301 stun gun will need to be recharged for up to 8 hours every 30 days. If used frequently or if the electrical current becomes noticeably weaker, TW-2301 will need to be recharged sooner.

Test Firing

Slide safety switch to the ” stun on “(all the way up) position. You will see the blue LED lights come on. Press down the stun button (just above the LED light). Take caution not to press the button for more than 5 seconds as this may damage the stun device. You will hear and see an electrical charge on the top of the unit when it is being test fired.

Using the stun gun for women in Self Defense
With the device in stun mode touch the attacker ‘ s body with the top of TW-2301 stun gun and press the stun button (just above the blue LED lights) Touching anywhere on the attacker ‘ s body will have an effect. However, the maximum effect is achieved in the areas on the image to the right. When touching the attacker ‘ s body, you may not see or hear the electrical charge as you can when the mini electric shocker is test fired. You can hold the trigger down for more than 5 seconds as this will not damage the device. Do not be concerned about the effects of the charge being transferred to you. Even if the attacker touches you while being stunned you will not feel the effects of the charge.

Effects of the TW-2301 stun gun on an Attacker
Touching an attacker with TW-2301 stun device activated will cause an instant and painful repelling effect in most cases. In cases where the stun device can be applied for more than a few seconds, the effects will be greater and sometimes can temporarily disable the muscle groups in the area being affected. All effects to the attacker are temporary. TW-2301 stun gun will cause no permanent harm. Although stun devices are designed to be a non – lethal form of self – defense, under rare circumstances, they can cause serious injury or death. These cases have exceptional contributing factors such as a rare heart condition, drug use or a secondary injury, etc.

Using the Flashlight
TW-2301 stun device has both a high / low steady light feature and a strobing light feature on the flashlight. To activate the steady light feature, slide the switch one spot up from off and the steady light will turn on. To toggle through light modes, slide the switch up to activate the light, then off, and immediately back to the middle switch position. Light modes will switch from high beam, low beam, then strobe. Please note, when the switch goes to the next spot up that activates the stun feature, the flashlight will turn off regardless of which light feature is on at the time.
