How then does the stun gun stop an attacker?
The human nervous system is electrical in nature. All control signals sent from the brain to the body are bio-electrical signals. The high voltage of a stun gun interferes with the transmission of control signals from the brain to the body. Stun guns dump an overwhelming electrical signal into the system at a frequency different from that used by the brain. The interference caused by the high voltage pulse shuts down normal communication between the brain and the muscles of the body. The interference makes it impossible for an attacker to move and function.
