Abstract:
A hand-held stun gun for incapacitating a human target by generating a series of powerful electrical output pulses across first and second spaced apart output terminals in response to closure of a trigger, comprising:a. a housing for enclosing a battery power supply and for supporting the trigger and first and second output terminals; b. a power supply having an electronic switch, an energy storage capacitor and a transformer for converting low voltage, direct current from the battery power supply into a series of high voltage output pulses across the first and second output terminals, each output pulse having a pulse energy of from 0.9 joules to 10 joules and wherein the series of out-put current pulses have an RMS current flow of from 100 milliamps to 500 milliamps when the first and second output terminals are applied to the human target.
