Well the UK law is extremely vague (as per bloody usual) about stun guns. As far as I can see, they never actually define the term "Stun Gun" other than saying it's an "electronic stunning device". The principle stun guns work on is quite precise: contrary to popular belief the sole aim isn't actually pain, it's that the (very) high voltage converts the sugar in your blood stream to lactic acid so that your muscles cannot move.

Having wandered various boards, I came across a post saying that B & Q sell electric fly swatters ! http://www.informedconsent.co.uk/boards/ukevents... Go forth and buy. If we all go shopping, they'll think there's a plague of flies coming!! Pain is your friend. It lets you know you're not dead yet | ||||

Buckingham Garden Centre - not one of the big multiples I'm afraid. To grow old is mandatory. To grow up is optional | ||||

We bought one from here http://www.thesharperedge.co.uk/ Just search for 'fly swatter'.
Try holding it against the skin rather than just swatting, much better effect The Purpose of Life's Journey is not to arrive safely at the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ... Holy Shit!! What a Ride!!! | ||||

It looks suspiciously like a gas lighter to me. Regards, Tanos | ||||

fly squatters are not the best and can lead to nasty burns .... a friend of mine still has a scar on his hand from one ..... however, check out pound shops, they usually sell them ...... mine came from the gadget shop and has no guard ....... if you get enough speed up, it makes bluebottles disintegrate on contact 
if you have a problem with something i've said or done ........ feel free to tell DM, .......so he can rip the piss out of you too | ||||

To put that in perspective, you can start to feel capacitor discharges at about 1mJ. Most people would say 10mJ is slightly unpleasant, and everyone finds 100mJ distinctly unpleasent. Above 100mJ causes involuntary muscle movement. A tazer is about 500mJ. Ohms law (V=IR) still applies to capacitors, so there is an exceptionally high current at the beginning of the discharge: I = V/R = 1500/2000 = 750 mA (assuming very low skin resistance) the only reason this current doesn't kill is that the total shock lasts for less than 0.7ms ... my point being that it is too close for comfort. Another fact you might find interesting... the BSI place a limit of 45 microcoulombs of electric charge on most devices. Charge=Capacitance*Voltage, so Charge = 330E-09 * 1500 = 495 microcoulombs! more than 10 times what's considered safe. Of course, this all depends on the capacitor at the end of the fly swatter, but they are not made for what you are using them for, and are not consistently manufactured. |
