👉 The voltage weapon, also known as the electroshock device (ESD) or stun gun, is a portable electronic device designed to deliver a high-voltage electrical shock to incapacitate or temporarily disable an attacker. Typically, it generates a current between 1000 and 3000 volts, which is enough to cause temporary muscle paralysis and pain, allowing the user to escape a dangerous situation. These devices usually employ a zapping mechanism that can be activated via buttons or a remote control, making them relatively easy to use in self-defense scenarios. However, their effectiveness and legality vary greatly depending on local laws and the specific design of the device.
