At any moment, unexpected and life-threatening situations may arise that require urgent decision-making. Having become a victim of a criminal, it is important not to get lost, but to take action, otherwise there is a risk of serious injury. The use of an electroshock device will help to gain some time and escape, which is an important advantage of this type of civilian weapon.

Electroshock weapon

There is an abundance of Russian-made shocker models in the modern market. The cost is a disadvantage of some, so not everyone can afford it, the average price of a powerful, reliable and ergonomic stun gun is 7000-13000 rubles. But there is an opportunity to purchase a budget option at an affordable price. Such a purchase is considered successful and necessary, because it is made to save a life. To do this, you need to know how to choose the right device, learn to understand its characteristics, application features and varieties. To decide which one is better to buy, an overview of the most popular shokers in the current year will help.

Types of stun guns

Devices are classified into two types:

• contact, the principle of operation of which is in the mandatory contact of an electric shock device with the offender;
• remote - a shock pistol for shooting at a distance, which releases electrodes and delivers an electric shock.

Among sluggish people, models of the latest variety are popular, which allows you to quickly respond to the enemy and gain a greater chance of salvation.

For women, manufacturers produce miniature but effective lipstick-like devices that look elegant and perfectly disguise themselves in a women's purse.

Interesting options are shockers in the form of packs of cigarettes, smartphones, pens and other household items. Shock flashlights are made for those who are forced to walk the streets of the city at night, in addition to their direct purpose, the devices blind the enemy with a bright light. Disguised shockers cost in the range of 300-500 rubles.

Contact lighters are not used for self-defense, but are ideal for pranking friends. You can joke by suggesting to use the lighter for its intended purpose, as a result of which it will give out a slight harmless current, making you shudder or get scared.

Classes of devices for self-protection

According to the strength of the impact, electroshock devices are divided into 3 classes:

• Class 3 (0-1 W) - the minimum power for such devices. They are used as a weapon with a psychological effect to scare away stray dogs and other animals. The principle of operation is to cause fear in the beast with a loud cracking sound and the smell of ozone gas, intolerable to the animal. They are not used against a person, since the desired result cannot be achieved from the application, tolerable pain with slight numbness of the extremities will be felt.To neutralize an attacker, you need to expose the device to his body for a long time, which is quite difficult to achieve in an attack situation;
• Class 2 (1-2 W) - this includes devices of medium power, leading to a loss of orientation in space. As a result of the application, the attacker experiences severe painful sensations with pronounced numbness of the limbs, and sometimes with loss of consciousness. The consequences depend on the characteristics of the organism and personality of the enemy;
• Class 1 (2-3 W) - the power of the devices leads to paralytic effects. The result of application will be paralysis of the arms and legs, a strong pain effect with loss of consciousness. If you act on the bare areas of the skin, then the enemy will not be guided in space for 30 minutes.

The division into classes of all electroshock weapons characterizes the consequences of electric discharges. Depending on the power indicator, you can achieve this or that effect, a certain duration of exposure, thereby saving the life of yourself and your loved ones.

General characteristics

For the correct choice of an electrical self-protection device, you need to carefully read the description of the functionality. Technical parameters distinguish one device from another.

room	Parameter	Characteristic
1	Power	The higher the power rating, the stronger the damage
2	Housing	Size, weight, material of manufacture
3	Voltage	The voltage declared by the manufacturer is from one thousand to several million volts, depending on what thickness of clothing you need to pierce
4	Sparking frequency	The voltage is converted by increasing the frequency, the higher the latter, the lower the efficiency of the device, the optimal frequency is from 400 to 500 Hz
5	Fuse	The safety mechanism protects the owner from self-activation of the shocker
6	Accumulator battery	The quality of the battery depends on the number of electrical discharges, loss of battery capacity over the course of a month or a year
7	Time of action	The optimal duration for neutralizing a criminal is 2-3 seconds; power affects the duration of the shock state, so the owner of a more powerful device will have more time to hide from the attacker

Operating principle

The peculiarity of the impact on the criminal is neutralization, is paralytic, disorienting and psychological in nature. This effectiveness of influence on the enemy can be considered an important criterion for choosing a shocker when buying. The principle of influence directly depends on the class of weapons.

Stun guns

Considering that the paralyzers are metal and have a shockproof housing, their weight should not exceed 300 grams. Such a shocker can inflict a strong blow and cause corresponding physical damage to a person. They are characterized by a power of 2-3 W and the voltage reaches 90,000 V, therefore they are considered the most efficient. When they are used, the attacker's winter clothing breaks through with a neutralization for about an hour, which is enough for a successful escape and rescue.

Disruptive Shocker

It has a power of 1-2 W and a voltage of up to 70,000 V. Neutralization occurs from an electric shock to open areas of the skin, as well as through thin clothing. By weight, this species is lightweight, compact, which makes it different from the paralyzer.

A device with psychological impact

Power - 0.3-1 W, voltage - 45000 V, this is enough to scare away stray dogs. Animals are afraid of electric current and do not tolerate ozone gas, which is released during discharges in the air, and a person will be scared, but not disoriented.

Shocker baton

This weapon will not be lethal. Used by security guards, bodyguards, police officers in an emergency. In terms of power and voltage, it is not inferior to the others and can be used to deliver powerful blows to the enemy due to its mass and dimensions, it is equipped with an anti-grip.

Thus, before buying a shocker, you need to clearly define the purpose of its use.The technical features of the device will be able to help in the choice, it also depends on how much it will cost.

Instructions for use

Electrocutioners are civilian weapons that do not imply the lethal outcome of the opponent. The peculiarity of the use of these devices is to inflict a shock on the enemy with a discharge of electric current of high, but maximum allowable power. They work on the basis of any power source. These include accumulators and batteries, which are high in voltage so that the discharge power is sufficient to hit the attacking object.

Using a stun gun, the victim inflicts powerful physical and psychological damage to the enemy. At the cellular level, this effect is characterized by instantaneous excitation of nerve endings, which leads to the emergence of strong painful sensations in the muscles. Because of the pain, short-term convulsive manifestations and disorientation in space appear.At the site of the electric shock, no traces remain on the skin, but only if the contact lasted no more than 2 seconds. After more prolonged exposure, slight redness remains, which completely disappear after a few hours. But when a discharge is applied through clothing, the red spots become more extensive and disappear only on the third day.

In order to strike an attacker, it is not enough to buy a shocker and, having taken it out at the right time, press a button. It is necessary to strictly follow the instructions for use, since such methods of self-defense are monitored and, in the event of serious injury, entail punishment. Therefore, despite the reason for using the device as self-defense, the owner will not avoid liability for the adverse harm caused to humans.

Terms of use

Knowledge of the rules for wearing, storing and using a stun gun, features, technical characteristics, as well as the consequences of its use on a person will help to avoid unwanted situations. An important recommendation is to carefully read the Federal Law "On Weapons".

Only an adult citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to purchase such a device for self-defense, even if it does not require mandatory registration and a license. Storage is assumed in specially designated places that categorically exclude the access of children.

The purchase of this self-defense device must be carried out only in specialized licensed stores. It is forbidden to take weapons of this type with you to public places, to mass events. If the enemy attacks in a humid environment, for example, in water, then it is not allowed to use an electric shock.

It is necessary to monitor the condition of the device, perform maintenance in a timely manner, but not independently, but only by contacting a specialist. The shocker must not be used near flammable and flammable liquids.

In relation to the human body, it is impossible to direct the apparatus to the area of ​​vital organs, such as the heart and solar plexus. If the opponent is a minor, namely under 16, it is prohibited to use a weapon. Also, pregnant women and people with disabilities are a category of prohibition on exposure to an electric shock.

But there are situations in which they attack with firearms and cold weapons, or by an organized criminal group. Then it will be fair to use electric shocks on these categories of offenders for self-defense purposes.

When using, do not forget that your fingers should be away from the contact electrodes, in order to avoid receiving a discharge by current.

If the owner does not comply with safety regulations and instructions for the use of electric shock weapons, he is subject to undoubted administrative and even criminal liability.

Self-defense methods with a shocker

In self-defense, it is necessary to influence the safest parts of the attacker's torso, namely:

• abdominal area;
• neck;
• pectoral muscles, with the exception of the solar plexus and heart area;
• back surface;
• gluteal muscles.

But this knowledge is not enough to neutralize the enemy. Pressing the start button, you need to lean the electrodes against the body of the offender for a few seconds. If the device is torn off after a moment, then neutralization will not occur, but only a slight muscle pain will arise, which will cause the greatest anger from the aggressive opponent.

The misuse of electroshock weapons can lead to an unforgivable and dangerous mistake.

Manufacturers highlight the features of the impact of a contact electrical device on the enemy:

• in duration, a short, second, blow is able to neutralize aggressive behavior;
• an average discharge of 1-3 seconds duration causes severe painful sensations and leads to convulsive conditions of muscle tissue;
• prolonged exposure to a person for 3-5 seconds leads to loss of consciousness.

Remote devices provide the wearer with less hassle in terms of the duration of exposure to the skin electrodes. To achieve the result, it is enough to direct the target pointer to the object and, by pressing the trigger, be in this state for a while, after which the trigger is released.

Thus, stun guns in emerging dangerous situations will help to reliably neutralize the aggressor. The devices will allow you to gain confidence in self-defense, defend yourself, and avoid injury and death. They differ in the strength of the discharge current, power, size and price, which should be paid close attention to when choosing.
