SHOOTING FROM A STUN GUN: TYPES OF INFLUENCE

In this article we to elaborate the advantages of each weapon type, explain the specifics of their operation, and the use of stun guns for self-defense.

REMOTE INFLUENCE ON AN OFFENDER WITH A STUN GUN

• Remote electroshock influence on one target. Multi-shot stun gun Hybrid is stored in a holster with a magazine for 2 stun cartridges, so to prepare it for the shot, you need to switch the trigger of the corresponding high-voltage system to the “shot” mode. Pressing the “Discharge” button will fire the shot. Holding the button further will allow you to continue affecting the target. In this case, the second line is free and can be used for contact application. If you pull 2 triggers, the shot will be fired simultaneously from two cartridges and two electroshock lines will be affecting the target simultaneously.

• Remote electroshock influence of Taser X2 and Taser X3 models (produced by Axon, USA) is somewhat different. Pressing the trigger shoots the cartridge and immediately delivers a discharge for 5 seconds. To use the discharge again, you need to press not the trigger, but a different button located on the side under the index finger. A indicator monitor is used to select the cartridge for individual remote impact on the target, which is not always convenient.
• Remote electroshock influence on multiple targets. Stun gun Hybrid produced by OBERON-ALPHA, Moscow, can provide electric shock to 2 targets simultaneously. In turn, the appropriate selection trigger is pulled and the shot is fired. Which transformer line will send the discharge along the line, whether the line will work remotely or contact, is chosen by the stun gun operator. If two targets are affected remotely, the stun gun can be used contact against the third target by bringing the combat electrodes directly to the body of the third attacker, then both high-voltage lines will be used on the third object.

It should be noted that the manufacturer of Taser models does not recommend using their weapons in contact, since a high-voltage discharge of the Taser stun gun can provoke aggression and doesn`t have enough power to immobilize the target.

Stun guns for police and for self-defense developed by OBERON-ALPHA can be used with remote and flashbang cartridges.

CARTRIDGES AND MAGAZINES SHOOTING STUN GUNS

1. Remote cartridges include cartridges KD and KD+ produced by OBERON-ALPHA. KD fires in a range of up to 5 meters, and KD+ fires in a range of up to 10 meters. The manufacturer recommends shooting from a distance of 2–3 meters, at which an untrained user (civilian use) is most likely to hit the target, and the wire is long enough to follow the target.

When shooting, keep in mind that a live target can move unpredictably.

2. Flashbang cartridges include the cartridge KSSH produced by OBERON-ALPHA. The cartridge produces a bright flash and a loud bang of an explosion, which is effective as the first step in self-defense.

3.Another example of remote cartridges is the Taser cartridge for the stun gun TASER X2/X3. The firing range of different cartridge models can be 4.6 m or higher. Probes are ejected by compressed air, the usage of a gas system in the cartridge makes it relatively expensive.
