Is 100,000 volts enough to take down an attacker?
In most cases, yes. The higher the voltage, the shorter the time needed to immobilize the attacker. In other words, less confrontation time. However, the effectiveness of a stun gun depends on the attacker's body type and mentality. If he is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, the result may not be as effective. If you do not want to take any chances, go with a more powerful model like Streetwise 1,000,000 Volt Stun Gun, Streetwise Mini Stun Gun or Streetwise Stun Pen.
What is the difference between Stun Master brand and Streetwise brand stun guns?
Stun Master has been a leading brand in the stun gun industry since 1994. Their stun guns are more old-fashioned and bulky. Most of them do not come with any extra features.
Streetwise is a newer brand. They have been out for several years. Their stun gun circuit seems to be more advanced and versatile. Because of this, many of their products come with a personal alarm and disable pin. Also, since their circuit design is more efficient, it requires fewer batteries to operate and still provides a remarkable stopping power.
Stun Master brand stun guns have four metal probes on the tip, while the Streetwise has only two. Does this make it more powerful and efficient?
No. They are just different designs from different manufacturers. The extra probes do not provide any advantage over the other design.
What is the difference between the straight and curved model?
The only difference between the two is that the curved model is a little bit longer and you may be able to reach the attacker at a different angle.
Does the curved model have an advantage over the straight model?
No. It's just personal preference.
Would you recommend this item?
It depends. This is actually an old model from Stun Master brand. Although it has been on the market for years and is a solid product, the design is a little bulky. For a little more money, you can have a Streetwise 200,000 Volt Stun Gun instead. It is smaller in size with more functions (e.g. disable pin and 130dB alarm). However, if you do not care about the extra features and don't mind the size, Stun Master Stun Gun is still a very good product.
