Admit it or not, we are not that safe now. Every time I open my social media account, I see posts about people being attacked. Also, the news channels reveal several random attacks on a daily basis. Indeed, the attackers are getting stronger, but wait, are people failing to defend themselves? Well, to me our defense has become weak.

We lack techniques to defend ourselves against these attacks. Since I have heard about such attacks, I tend to carry self defense weapons in order to protect myself against the attackers. I have carried many though, but the weapon that has proved to be most effective stun gun.

When counting the features and benefits, the stun gun is unbeatable. I have carried other weapons too, but since I have carried a stun gun, I have not found a replacement. The features have impressed me. They are effective and useful if you want to survive the deadliest of the attacks. It would be unfair if I don’t disclose the ways this device serves me. So, here are the features and advantages of stun guns that make them unbeatable self defense weapons.

  • A Powerful Electrical Shock

A Stun gun is a small device, often too small to fit in the pocket. It works quite brilliantly as it gives an electrical shock to immobilize the attacker. Well, it may sound a gun, but it is not a gun, rather just a small device. There are two prongs on the device that in fact serve the purpose. The user needs to touch the attacker with the prongs to give an electrical shock. That electric shock is often too good for the attacker. It can immobilize him temporarily. This is how it works in the favor of the user.

We all know how painful an electric shock can be at times. It causes pain for quite a bit of time and allows you to escape and save your life. All it happens by just touching the attacker with the prongs. You will have a reasonable period of time to run away from the attacker once you deliver the electrical shock.

  • Easiest to Operate

When it comes to ease of use, no other weapon is easier to be used than a stun gun. Think of any other weapon and you would require days of training to know how to rightly use them. For instance, if you have firearms, you know it can be seriously tough to use them. You require hours of training to know how to fire them. Similarly, if you get a knife for your defense, you first need to understand the way it works. Then, you spend days of practicing how to inflict an injury using the blades.

A stun gun, on the other hand, is simple to use the device. As mentioned above, the mechanism is so simple and easy to understand. In fact, there is nothing to learn about. There is no bullet or ammo, no push button, and no trigger to pull. All you can do is touch the prongs with the body of the attacker to do the damage. Just a touch would deliver the electrical shock and make sure the attacker is immobilized, leaving you a lot of time to escape and save yourself from a disaster.

  • A Pocket Carry

Many people suggest pocket knives when they are asked about a self defense weapon. In fact, many do carry these knives, but they cause discomfort when placed in the pocket. There is a blade that is placed inside the pocket that can cause an injury to you at any time. If you think there is no other weapon that is a pocket carry like folding knives, think again! A stun gun is another weapon that can be carried inside the pocket. Because it has a very small size, it fits perfectly in your pocket.

The modern stun guns come in a variety of shapes and sizes. However, all of these have smaller sizes that can be carried in the pockets. For instance, there are cell phone stun guns that are shaped like real cell phones, therefore, they are carried like carrying a regular mobile. Similarly, there are more designs that make them the easiest to carry. So, get a stun gun and make sure to walk with the weapon placed in your pocket.

  • No Ammos, Bullets Required

What makes stun guns surpass other self defense weapons is that there are no extra items you need to carry or use. There are no bullets, no ammo or darts required. I hate carrying such additional items in my pocket. So, when I have any other weapon, I do require such extra things. But, stun gun saves me from this frustration. Now, I can go outside with a single device in my pocket. If you hate overloading your pockets, use this small sized, effective weapon that does not require additional objects.

  • Any Place to Aim

When using a stun gun, you can aim any part of the body of the attacker. What most likable about this weapon is that it works equally well when touched with any part of the body. After all, your purpose is to immobilize the attacker, touch the prongs with any part of his body to immobilize him. There would be no difference in the effectiveness of the device. In case of other weapons like knives and firearms, you need to aim correctly. Therefore, there are chances that you miss your target and end up being victimized the attacker. So, be smart, use a stun gun than any other weapon.

  • Safe to Use Weapon

Not that stun guns are the easiest to use, they are safest to use as well. There is no blade attached to the device and no bullets. Hence, there is nothing to be worried about. It is one of the non lethal weapons that don’t cause a permanent injury. Also, there are no chances of self-harm. The electrical shock is only delivered when the prongs are touched with the body. So, if you want to prevent self-harm, make sure not to touch the prongs.

  • Flashlight, an additional feature!

As we were talking about smart and modern designs of stun guns earlier, here is the most appreciated design. Stun gun flashlight is a modernized weapon that features a flashlight as well. Other than just immobilizing the attacker, it also provides light in the dark. That means it would be your companion in the dark. Specifically, if you often get back home late in the night, you should be equipped with this device that features a flashlight to see clearly in the dark. It helps you identify attackers coming towards you from a distance so that you can escape and save your life.

The Final Word!

So, you want to escape the danger? Stun gun must be your go through weapon during emergency situations. There is no match of the features and benefits offered by this small device. Ou comparison above must let you know!
