750k Gun Raptor Stun Volt

For around 50 bucks, consumers can arm themselves with 750K-volt Raptor stun guns, which are guaranteed to take down attackers with no more than the push of a button. While average stun guns emit anywhere from 100,000 to 300,000 volts, the Raptor climbs all the way up to three-quarters of a million volts, but at low enough intensity to avoid permanent harm. The secret to stun gun technology is combining this low-amperage charge with a high enough voltage to shut down the nervous system.

Subjects hit by a 750K Raptor may go down for anywhere from five to 15 minutes depending on their own pain tolerance and general fitness. Clearly, the wattage and amperage also play deciding roles in how long the CNS shuts down. Regardless of whether it's 30 seconds, five minutes, or 15 minutes, this is more than enough time for you to make your escape and notify the authorities, which is what stun guns are intended to give you.

A Word about the Raptor

Raptor dealers frequently boast that theirs is the most powerful stun gun on the market and that your attackers will never forget it. While a 750K-volt whump won't kill your assailant, it's also much more than a punch to the face. All the adrenaline in your attacker's system won't help him survive a direct blow to the nervous system. Such a bone-jarring shock can in fact inflict wounds, most of which are sustained as assailants fall to the ground. Hence, there's always risk involved.

While you certainly have a constitutional right (and mandate) to defend yourself from bodily harm, the Raptor and stun guns like it are never meant to be used as toys. In fact, manufacturers are forbidden from shipping them to several states (not to mention particular cities) that have passed legislation outlawing them. Even if you are protecting yourself, doing so with an illicit device can land you in legal hot water. Even if that's not the first thing on your mind during a physical confrontation, the fact remains that your self-defense tactics may be illegal. It's up to you to check before you use them.
