No, it is not a sensor. It fires 2 prongs utilizing thin wire that attaches to an attacker. The prongs have electrical charge that stun the attacher. Some tasers have laser sight that help with aiming.

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.


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.

Nothing. The only way to get busted with a stun gun is if you are in possession of one where it is illegal. <a href=http://www.ledefensetech.com/stungunlaws.htm>List of Stun Gun Laws</a>.
