When choosing a stun gun, you need to know that, according to Russian law, its average power should not exceed three watts. Therefore, you should refrain from buying powerful models of foreign production. In order to avoid problems with law enforcement agencies, it is necessary to purchase licensed products from Russian manufacturers.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, when choosing a stun gun model, read the technical data sheet of the product and make sure you have a quality certificate.
Step 2
Depending on the strength of the defeat and power, stun guns are divided into three classes: first, second and third. For your own reliable protection, it is best to purchase a Class 1 device.
Step 3
An important characteristic of a stun gun is the exposure time. The sold protection devices can provide:
- short discharge (up to 1 second) - designed to neutralize the aggressiveness of the attacker;
- medium discharge (1-3 seconds) - causes convulsions and severe pain;
- prolonged discharge (3-5 seconds) - can lead to loss of consciousness.
Devices with a prolonged exposure discharge function much more efficiently.
Step 4
According to the principle of action, stun guns are divided into contact and contact-remote. Contact models are universal when used in confined spaces - in elevators and house entrances. Contact-distance, or firing stun guns are effective at a certain distance and provide maximum protection on the streets.
Step 5
When choosing protective equipment, pay attention to the body of the stun gun, which must be made of high strength plastic or ABS plastic.
Step 6
By design, stun guns are made in the form of batons or have a rectangular body.
Large batons, about 35-55 centimeters in size, are more preferable from the point of view of repelling an attack, due to the fact that the attacker can be kept at a certain distance. There are small types of batons that can be used by women.
Step 7
If the stun gun is used as a means of protection from animals (dogs), then you should know that it is better not to use contact-distance models that shoot electrodes. The probability of hitting a target that is moving quickly is extremely small.
