Stun guns today come in all shapes and sizes. The options are almost endless. But, in terms of reliability, affordability and practicality, nothing beats The Runt 350,000 Volts. His image can be seen on Striker701 Group in any search engine.
I sell self defense devices as personal weaponry is one of my hobbies. One of the best sellers in the stun gun category is The Runt as it works every time. There has never been a malfunction on any of these since I started offering them to the public several years ago. Other brands didn’t work right away or stopped working after a while.
At a price of around $40, The Runt is really affordable. The package also includes three CR-123A lithium batteries, which power the unit and are known for their long life and reliability. Other well-known brands, especially infomercial ones, are priced 3-5 times higher, which is completely outrageous!
The Runt measures about 3.5 x 2 x ¾ inches, making it look as small as a pager and perfect for concealment. You can even hide it inside your hand. It also comes with a durable nylon belt holster for those who like to carry it on their belt for instant access.
The Runt is encased in rugged black plastic and has a safety on/off slider switch and activation button on its side. A tiny red LED (light emitting diode) lights up when the slide switch is turned on. It makes a loud crackling noise when activated so much so that dogs get scared because they have a greater sense of hearing within a wider band of frequencies compared to humans. In addition, it emits a very visible spark between the 2 electrodes. A combination of loud electrical crackles and a bright spark might be enough to deter a perpetrator from attacking you. This is certainly the case in preventing canine attacks.
The Runt generates about 350,000 volts, which is certainly enough to incapacitate any criminal. Legally sold stun guns have a certain power output. In basic electronics, power in watts equals voltage times current in amps. So for a stun gun to be safe to use, the current is measured in milliamps, a small amount. So when you hear that stun guns generate up to 1 or 2 million volts, it’s just a publicity stunt. The amperage has to be even lower to match that certain power output. In short, most stun guns have the same effect no matter what voltages they claim to have. The only difference is the higher price you pay for higher voltages.
Stun guns, like The Runt, are safe self-defense devices to use against an attacker. They are electrical contact weapons; therefore, be aware of their limitations and capabilities so that you can better use them in extreme situations.
