Can a 2.5 Million Mil Volt Stun Gun take down a guy or maybe kill him???
Like the other poster than posted, it is not the volts, but the amps that kill. However, volts and amps are linked. Higher volts = higher amps, pursuant to Ohms Law V = IR. It takes roughly 50 – 150 mA to cause serious injury, possible death and at 1000 – 4300 mA death is almost certain. Ohm’s law is used to demonstrate the action. At 1,000 volts, Current = Volts/Ohms = 1,000/500 = 2 Amps which can cause cardiac standstill and serious damage to internal organs. There is likely a resistor that provides sufficient ohms to reduce the amps to a less than lethal range. However, I never liked stun guns. I tried a 50,000 volt on myself and it did nothing other than contract my arm for 1-2 seconds and left a little bruise. the gun had to be held on your target for well over 10 seconds to bring the person down … lots of time for him to punch in your face.
