Taser M16

Nowadays, there are many people who became prisoners in their own homes because of rising lawlessness in their area. There are those who bravely venture out, but became victims themselves of robberies, assaults, and rape. Most violent crimes happen because the assailant was able to come within inches of the victim or saw the frightened look in that person’s eyes. The few brave ones though refused to cower in fear, so they instead bought stun gun and tasers to protect themselves.

These specially-made stun guns are used by police officers, security guards, and some people to protect themselves. First of all, the regular stun gun can immobilize an assailant who is inches away and has proven to be one of the most effective non-lethal weapons in the market. Most people prefer the stun gun because it is easy to carry and very efficient. Moreover, the amperage (a kind of current or electrical energy) that this device carries is between five to eight milliamps – enough to disable an assailant if he dares comes close.

The stun gun has had many detractors through the years, but to many people it is the best emergency weapon they can use. That reason is that if the mugger is inches away, the person with the stun gun can easily shove the device to the assailant’s groin, neck, or abdomen and the ensuing electric shock will temporarily incapacitate him. Even if the fiend’s hand firmly grasps a would-be victim’s arms, the stun gun will force the former to let go. Stun guns will only be effective and able to serve their purpose if these devices are able to stun an attacker or attackers.

On the other hand, tasers are preferred by people who do not want other strangers coming near them. Unlike the regular stun gun that is only effective upon close contact with a robber, this device will shoot two small wires that can reach up to fifteen feet and jolt an attacker’s muscles until he is disabled. The great thing about tasers is that they were designed to daze any assaulter for a few seconds. At the very least, the person who bore the brunt of the device will experience temporary amnesia and an itching sensation eventually. At the most, the attacker’s muscles will contract and he may even feel that he has vertigo.

To conclude, stun gun and tasers should only be used in emergencies. These devices should be aimed primarily at an assailant’s back or chest because any contact with the eyes can seriously damage the corneas.
