Mini Stun Gun Packs Big Bang

In times past when women and men needed discreet protection, the derringer was often the weapon of choice. It was mini. It could handle a .22 bullet or a .45, depending on the model. It almost never misfired, which mean the little baby was extremely reliable. Fast forward to today’s mini stun gun.

Whereas the circuitry in early models was crude by comparison, today’s stun guns are engineering marvels. One of the most awesome models right now is mini enough to fit inside a pack of cigarettes and is capable of delivering an incredible one million volts of stopping power! Nobody expects that out of such a petite little unit.

Compare that with the regular police model TASERs which deploy a pair of barbed projectiles that deliver 50,000 volts. They get the job done quite well, but from a distance. Imagine how much more you need to have in hand if you don’t have the advantage of distance but are still in desperate need of protection.

There are two points to consider.

• The Element of Surprise – If you are carrying a petite little unit, virtually undetectable under a shirt, in a pocket, in the top of a tote bag or even on the center console of your car, you have something the bad guy thinks is his alone: the element of surprise. He will not be expecting the kind of knockdown power you have at hand. If he did, he wouldn’t have approached you in the first place.

• Power to Protect – The higher the voltage, the faster the takedown. That translates into a shorter required contact time and gives you the window of opportunity to skedaddle.
