Choosing your voltage is very important in a stun gun. The more powerful, the more effective do you think? It’s true.

When looking to purchase a stun gun. Why doesn’t everyone just go out and buy the most powerful? Most people don’t really know why they should pick the most powerful one they can afford. We will go over why.

Due to recent advances in the technology of a stun gun, the power or voltage has increased 10-20 fold. While keeping the amps low the voltage has increased significantly. You can now find stun gun on the market today between 100000 and 2.6 million volts.

But, what kind of a difference can it really make? The results can be life saving literally. Lets take a 300000 volt stun gun for example. Now keep in mind I am not suggesting don’t buy one this powerful, I am just exploring the differences. If and when attacked you can use this stun gun anywhere on the attackers body, even the pinky toe. It is the amount volts that dictates the amount of time needed to be applied in order to get away.

If that time comes and your attacked, you will need to use your stun gun for 4-5 seconds in order to subdue your attacker enough to get away. The insert that comes with most stun guns will state this fact. 4-5 seconds can be forever when fighting for your life. Lets take a look at other stunguns levels of power and its effect.

Lets take a look at the 1,000,000 volt stun guns. Lets call it 1M for short. The 1M or similar voltage in this range will be literally twice as effective. You will only need about 2 seconds on your attacker and now you can be confident that your stun gun can penetrate clothing. The 1M is probably the equivalent of being hit with a baseball bat.

Stunguns in the range of 2.0 million volts and 2.6 million volts are going to put any attacker in a split second. There is no real need to make a stun gun more powerful than this unless it is a phaser and they dont exist yet. Your talking about a stun gun that can pack more stopping power than most Hand Guns.

When purchasing your first stun gun or even your next stun gun please consider these facts that I have laid out for you. Is the size right for you? Does it have a flashlight? Have a safety pin? Etc..
