Voltage varies depending on the stun gun. It could be between 200,000 volts and 1,000,000 volts. They also come in various sizes and shapes. Some are disguised as cell phones, others as pens, etc. Some also have lights and some have alarms...
Voltage keeps getting higher and higher. Today you can find several over 5,000,000 volts.

How many amps in a stun gun?
The voltage of an average stun gun can vary, but it typically ranges from around 50,000 to 1,000,000 volts. However, it's important to note that voltage alone doesn't determine the effectiveness of a stun gun. Other factors, such as current and duration of the electrical discharge, also play a role in its effectiveness.
Are stun guns a firearm?
A stun gun is NOT a firearm, it is an electrical self defense device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs on the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because the amperage of a stun gun is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.
What kind of energy does a stun gun have?
A stun gun has two numbers associated with it's power. The first is amps. Stun guns run about 3-4 milliamps. A full amp will kill someone and AED's run as high as 500. So a stun gun won't even mess up a pacemaker, much less cause arrhythmia or death. The second number is voltage. This is the number you see plastered across ads for stun guns. It really doesn't have much to do with the stopping power or a stun gun, but the higher voltage guns do work quicker and might possibly work better through thicker clothes.
What 30 kv stun gun can do to human body?
A contact stun gun will cause the body's muscles to contract and release very rapidly. This has the effect of depleting them of glycogen, which is what muscles use for energy. In order to restore the glycogen, the body will pull sugar from the bloodstream to make up the difference. This will cause a person to be tired and out of energy. A stun gun does not have the amperage to cause a person to go into arrhythmia or cause the person's heart to stop. The voltage only determines how much clothing the stun gun will be effective through. A 30kv stun gun for example won't have the penetration power of a 1,000,000 volt stun gun.
What differences does the amount of voltage in a stun baton make?
The way a stun gun or baton works is by overloading your muscles with oscillating signals telling them to tense up. The voltage just determines how painful it will be. It doesn't affect the effectiveness of the weapon.
Will the voltage pass from the assailant to the person holding the stun gun?
No. The device is heavily insulated and the user feels nothing.
Can you use a stun gun to jump start your car?
Give the battery a shock, it should give your car a bit of a boost. MAKE SURE YOU DISCONNECT IT FIRST OR YOUR CAR MAY EXPLODE. (the shock may ignite the petrol). P.S Where on earth did you get a stun gun??? Absolutely no. A stun gun gives off a high voltage , very low current charge. Not enough to start a car. And the high discharge could destroy the electronic of the car just like a bolt of lightning.
How do you increase the amps in your stun gun?
You would have to remove the resisters in the circuit. stun guns have very high voltage but are chock-full of resisters. If there were no resistors then people would be frying like bacon.

Are stun guns legal in Delaware?

What happens when you stun gun metal?
If you touch a stun gun to metal, the electricity will travel through it. For example; one of the conveniences of having a stun gun is that if you touch a metal door knob with a stun gun, it will shock a person who holds the opposite end of the knob! You can easily stun a person if they are trying to get into your house by using the front door knob...
