Stinger
Hand Held Projectile Stun Gun
Stinger Systems
|
The Stinger stun gun is an electro-stun device that
utilizes self-contained, charged cartridges to shoot either two or
four darts at targets up to 10 meters (31 feet) away. The gun can be
loaded with one or two cartridges. A laser beam is used for aiming
at the intended target. The charge propels the darts connected to
the gun by a pair of thin insulated wires, and upon contact a pulsed
electrical current is passed through the subject. The electrical
charge temporarily impairs the subject’s ability to control muscles
dropping the subject to the ground and rendering him/her harmless to
the user, surrounding people, and themselves. The Stinger can also
be used as a contact shocker. The gun has built-in recording of key
data (time, date, length of shock, power of shock, temperature)
which is activated each time the gun is shot. Data is downloaded via
USB ports for debriefing. |
