Does the stun gun have to touch bare flesh to be effective. Will it stun through average clothing such as a shirt or pair of pants?

I had this for long time now but to be honest I did not have the gut to try it on myself or test it on someone. You should know that sometimes when you want to stun, it does not work and needs some more presses to start stunning. It is not effective for self defense and might simply get your butt kicked with ur own stun for it not working at that moment :] the light tho is the strongest I have ever experienced with a flashlight that size. I always carry it in my backpack coz u never know if needed a stun, light, or break a glass with it one day..

I was wearing jeans with long johns, went right through and cramped my muscle up with a burning sensation. It left a large red area. It touched me for about half a second, it will definitely take someone down.

I can't give you an answer on this question, simply because mine never worked as the stun. It only worked as a flashlight. I do not recommend this product.

They work separately, not together. You CANNOT use the flashlight while using the stun feature.

It did not harm mine. I've put it on and put clothes on 30 seconds later. It does make you gag though. At least it works.

I have been stunned by several different devices, and this one is definitely less effective than say a police-type taser which fires barbs and wires. I used this one on myself as well, and it did shock me through heavy clothing, but barely. I think this one is more about surprise and distraction of an agressor. It snaps very loud and bright, which would make most people back off immediately... Especially someone who has never been tazed before.

this tazer WILL NOT drop a man over 200lb it will just make them mad. ive hit myself many times. direct contact with the skin hardly hurts. it will start to burn the flesh after 5 seconds or so. if u have to hit some1 with it aim through the clothes((cotton, denim,ect)leather will insulate the discharge), the arcing will hurt alot. again will not drop or disorient a man. use for intimidation. if you need to use it on some1 dont expect them to fall. but with that said its still a great lil tazer for the price and the flashlight is very bright with a focused lens that realy hurts the eyes in close proximity in the dark. this tazer WILL NOT drop a man over 200lb it will just make them mad. ive hit myself many times. direct contact with the skin hardly hurts. it will start to burn the flesh after 5 seconds or so. if u have to hit some1 with it aim through the clothes((cotton, denim,ect)leather will insulate the discharge), the arcing will hurt alot. again will not drop or disorient a man. use for intimidation. if you need to use it on some1 dont expect them to fall. but with that said its still a great lil tazer for the price and the flashlight is very bright with a focused lens that realy hurts the eyes in... » Read More this tazer WILL NOT drop a man over 200lb it will just make them mad. ive hit myself many times. direct contact with the skin hardly hurts. it will start to burn the flesh after 5 seconds or so. if u have to hit some1 with it aim through the clothes((cotton, denim,ect)leather will insulate the discharge), the arcing will hurt alot. again will not drop or disorient a man. use for intimidation. if you need to use it on some1 dont expect them to fall. but with that said its still a great lil tazer for the price and the flashlight is very bright with a focused lens that realy hurts the eyes in close proximity in the dark. « Show Less

yeah sure, if you are using this stun gun, but you are grabbing or touching this people, I think you can shock youself.

The directions do not indicate if it needs to be against bare skin. It does mention the most effective areas are the shoulders, hips, thighs, buttocks and below rib cage. It also has a small flashlight on one end. The noise alone is pretty effective. I fortunately have not had to use it on a person.

I have not had to use it yet, but; I suppose it would be like when you build up static electricity and touch a metal object.It only takes a brief touch to shock you.

I was putting it in the holster when I first got it and it was switched to the shock function. I had the tip of the holster in the palm of my hand and it discharged in the holster. It was a pretty good jolt through thru the webbing. I don't know if would stop someone in their tracks but the sound and the jolt I got would have made me think twice about taking someone on that had one.

I don't have a clue. As I understand it, there is no amperage with the charge, so it's not enough power to light up Atlanta, GA. Still, I wouldn't "play" with it. I know of no way to test it, except to "dry-fire" it and watch the sparks. I haven't even tried that. The flashlight works fine, the holster is very functional, so I assume the "stun gun" will work fine as well. Sorry, that's all I can tell you. If you "dry-fire " it, and you see sparks, I would assume it works just fine. 28 million volts...?? Who knows. It won't take that much power by far to discourage an attacker. Hal I don't have a clue.

There is a switch that locks the stun gun. So you wont have to worry about it going off while using the flash light. :)

These typs of tasers work far better if you can hit bare skin with it & hold it there. It probably will not do much of anything through any kind of jacket or coat. You might have some success against denim jeans IF you can get the probes mostly through the fabric by pressing HARD. The BEST parts of the body to attack with this kind of taser is the chest & neck area but anywhere on the body you can get it against bare skin or through light weight clothing (think t-shirt thickness) and hold it for a couple/three seconds is better than nothing. Hope this helped.

I do not know the difference of stun guns but I have tested this one on myself on my forearm a few times. It does make you lose complete control of the arm, not sure what it would do if held there a long time. The next 4-5 days I had teeth looking marks embedded in my arm so I know it did hit me pretty good. Ive never been hit with any other stun gun to compare it to so hopefully this helps some?

No it only works when you flip the switch up, when you want the stun the switch goes down and the off is in the center

Yes. Shock will not work unless flashlight is on, and there are two separate buttons.

While I am not 100% sure, I think you have to turn the flashlight off. The switching from flashlight to stun gun (not taser) can get complicated if you are in a "situation". If I see something suspicious (loose dog, coyote), I turn the flashlight off and reposition and test the stun gun to make sure it works and then I'm in the dark unless I have another flashlight.

It's long enough to do job yet short enough to be concealed. You can slid stun end under a long sleeve shirt or just place against arm. It's very slim and gets the job done.
