STUN GUN BUYER'S GUIDE & RATINGS
Basis for the Rankings
1. Stopping Power: Both voltage and current are important here. Voltage measures electrical potential to penetrate air and clothing to deliver an effective stun result. Amperage determines whethere the device has sufficient power to incapacitate an attacker (for up to 30 minutes) versus simply deliver a "shock" or short term pain. (Low power "stun guns" have flooded the marketplace and are little more than "cattle prods" in terms of stopping power. To make the Top 10 a device had to be highly rated in proven stopping power. Police and military supplier/manufacturers are given highest ratings.
2. Concealment: It is a proven statistic that whenever you introduce anything that looks like a weapon into a threatening situation, you increase the liklihood of violence significantly (as much as 500% according to some studies). Highest rating were given to designs which give an average user the advantage of stealth, disguise and/or concealment.
3. Training Required: Weapons which fire electroshock darts require greater training for effective accuracy. Additionally, they require replacement cartridges which are an ongoing expense to maintain. Often used by law enforcement who must complete a training program and regularly spend time on a gun range. Police or military users of such guns have better than average shooting skills than civilians for effective use of projectile weapon systems.
4. Manufacturer Warranty: Results varied, but the top rated devices carry Lifetime Warranty for repairs and have been in business 20 years or more with an excellent Better Business Bureau and/or Consumer Reports rating.
