  <b>Suggest more products with crazy specs you want to see tested below!</b><br>If you think longer duration of the shock would make a difference, or that you could even accomplish that, I recommend this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=me60gWzbMXw&amp;t=280">https://youtu.be/me60gWzbMXw?t=280</a><br>When last doing Horns and Lasers A LOT of you damn viewers commented about stun gun ratings on Amazon, and can&apos;t say I appreciated that at the time as the rest of the team saw those too and it was a bit of a Mexican standoff over here about doing them. Luckily Amazon came through as usual with unregulated highly exaggerated sales pitches and testing these didn&apos;t even ruin my day really. A few red marks, a little but brief soreness from the Vipertek, that&apos;s it. Please don&apos;t use or gift a stun gun as a personal defense weapon, it&apos;s likely going to do innocent people more harm than good.

  I come for the information, I stay for the bad puns

  The proper way to measure high voltage for these things is to solder wires to the electrodes, run the wires to a spark gap with calibrated spherical electrodes. Hold the stun gun under insulating oil (Shell Diala S4 ZX-IG) to prevent local discharge and measure the minimum gap. Bending the terminals can lead to sharp corners which lowers the sparking voltage. Just an FYI in case you or others are interested. Cheers.

  After receiving a bad dog bite as a delivery driver, I purchased a Vipertek on the recommendation of the local sheriff. &nbsp;I&apos;ve never actually stunned a dog with it, because the sound alone scares 95% of the bad dogs away on the first zap. Consequently, I&apos;ve purchased more than 50 of these for my co-workers, family and friends. Oh and when you return to the homes of the bad dogs, the dogs remember you and generally keep their distance or go and hide.

  Can&apos;t believe you zapped yourselves, and RATING IT.👍 Thank you calling these companies out.<br>Edit: you could do a whole channel on these stun devices

  You guys should have measured the lumens of some of the stun guns in stun mode because it seems like some of the arcs were brighter than the flashlights

  I&apos;m a self defense and firearms instructor.These products will not stop and aggravated attacker.The reason OC spray works even on a determined attacker, is because it causes involuntary eye closure that can&apos;t be overcome with practice.

  You need to test pepper spray and pepper gel and pepper foam now. Order them and spray each other with the pepper spray to let us know which is best.

  The voltage required to jump a gap is also dependent upon the shape of the electrode. Sharp corners reduce the required voltage so you may be over rating the voltage produced by these stun guns.

  &quot;yup, that hurts. &nbsp;... Let&apos;s do it again&quot;

  This is the reason I think Amazon is pretty in a very bad shape right now, everything I searched are 1 or 2 known reputable brand plus millions of unheard Chinese brands filled with inflated reviews.

  I love how people in movies are knocked unconscious 95% of the time when tasered. In my experience it has the opposite affect, people get very vocal and animated.
