How to choose the best stun gun for self-defense

Expert advice when choosing a stun gun for self-defense:

• Legality. Despite the absence of paperwork and the need to register the device, make sure that the stun gun you are purchasing is manufactured in the Russian Federation, has the necessary certification, technical passport and manufacturer’s warranties.
• Class. Regarding classification, the most powerful devices are class 1 stun guns. However, less powerful devices - 2nd and 3rd classes - are also quite suitable for self-defense. Decide in what situations you plan to use it, and whether you are ready to resist. If stray dogs scare you, pay attention to the simplest 3rd class models, which will terrify the animals with the spark of the discharge and the ozone released during this. For high-quality self-defense of life and property, devices of the 1st or 2nd classes are still preferable.
• Variety. Shooting models, in fact, combine the ability to deliver a discharge both remotely and by contact when removing the cartridge. But if you are afraid of being attacked in a public place (for example, a subway) or an elevator, it is better to opt for a contact stun gun.
• Shape and size. The domestic market offers devices of all sorts of variations: compact, resembling a walkie-talkie, or bulky batons, in the form of a pistol or telephone, masquerading as a folding umbrella, etc. Compact and lightweight models that fit in a handbag are suitable for constant wear.
• Type of food. Shockers can be powered by batteries or rechargeable batteries. The batteries last for 1-1.5 years or 20 discharges lasting 3 seconds. The battery requires recharging after use or after a year within 8 hours of connection to the network.
• Fuse. The presence of a fuse is a big plus for an electric shock device. Thanks to him, you will not harm yourself through negligence. Turning on the device will not take you much time, but the safety of the weapon for the owner in a critical situation will be invaluable.
