A TASER uses a special cartridge of nitrogen gas to shoot a pair of barbed projectiles at the assailant. These projectiles can reach up to fifteen feet away. A pair of wires connects them to the handheld TASER device, which sends a 50,000 volt shock into the attacker. This shock can go through thick clothing or a bullet-proof vest; the projectiles do not need to strike skin in order to work. After the Nitrogen cartridge has been used to propel the projectiles, most newer TASER can still be used close-up, in the same way as a stun gun is used. A STUN GUN, unlike a TASER, do not fire anything at the attacker. Instead, they must come in direct contact with the person. These handheld units send a jolt of anywhere from 50,000 to a million volts through the assailant’s body upon contact. You will need to be much closer to the assailant than if you were using a TASER device, but they often deliver a higher voltage. Although stun guns usually include two prongs, with sparks going between the t
