Do you need to touch the offender with it to shock them or will it shoot a shock from a distance? Is that arc of light a shock or just a display ?

As with any "Stun weapon" you will need to touch the attacker. this is not a Tazer that fires projectiles that are attached to wires. Yes that is a real electrical arc, not a light show. This is a last line of defense to allow you time to escape from an attacker. A huge piece of mind when your walking alone. My wife and two daughters carry them.

I am a very small woman. When I'm walking I carry it. Since it looks like a flash light no one knows it anything but that. It is in my hand so if anyone came up to me I would be able to zap them long and hard before they ever saw it coming. If you are looking for something to hit at a longer distance you will want a tazer. I trust this device and feel it gives me the security I need when out walking alone at night.

Yes-it must be in contact to work as intended.The arc represents the discharge as it goes off. You can see and hear it even if it is not in contact. That may scare someone off-but I'd wait and just let em have the full effect without warning.

You will need to actually touch offender. Includes sharp points to penetrate clothing

Yes you do. It shocks them enough so that you have a chance to get away. You can see a small arc when it goes off, but you do have to touch the person with it.

Yes, you have to turn off the flashlight to use the stun. It won't tase while it's on.

No. It is a three position switch. Off, light, stun. Then there is a button past the three position switch you press to test fire.

it's not really a 'gun'; it's more of a taser- meaning you can't shoot prongs or sparks from it; it has to have direct contact with the assailant. It will work through clothing, but it does need to touch the person.

It is not supposed to shock you at all. Please return the product, it me may be a defect.

I don't have a clue. As I understand it, there is no amperage with the charge, so it's not enough power to light up Atlanta, GA. Still, I wouldn't "play" with it. I know of no way to test it, except to "dry-fire" it and watch the sparks. I haven't even tried that. The flashlight works fine, the holster is very functional, so I assume the "stun gun" will work fine as well. Sorry, that's all I can tell you. If you "dry-fire " it, and you see sparks, I would assume it works just fine. 28 million volts...?? Who knows. It won't take that much power by far to discourage an attacker. Hal I don't have a clue.

It produces an actual shock to the target. I have not actually felt it my self but when the button is pushed you can hear the current run through the metal connectors.

You should press the clip, and see is the right zone of contact. The light is not very intense but enough to examination. I hope to do help you.

No, it is a safety feature. Don't want to accidentally shock yourself while you are just looking for something with a flashlight.

The light is just a flash light. In the event a situation arises you would hit the second switch on the bottom side of light with light on. Which activates the electrical probes. The sound is very significant and in itself is a deterrent. If the situation elevates you would need to thrust it into assailant. The unit is very well built and designed with multiple offensive options. In a dark situation the light is very bright and can momentarily cause inadequate vision to assailant in low light conditions. Both ends of light have an aggressive tooth edge for thrusting and twisting. Then the obvious electrical voltage from unit. I am very happy to have something for my wife to carry while on her walks.

A bright red warning light will come on when you slide the switch forward. The baton is armed and press the button to deliver a shock. When the button is pressed you will hear a series of sharp bursts coming from the front end of the baton. The front end of the baton must touch the target you intend to shock. The two bright strips of metal running along the edge of the baton will also be energized when the button is pressed. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH the strips or the front of the baton when the button is pressed. The outcome will be SHOCKING!

This Stun Gun does not have electrified prongs. However, the electrical current that circulates around is almost 360. Meaning even if you jab from the tip the electricity will jump out out of the unit. You can practice on a metal bar to perfect the angles that are the most effective. You will see the electric current jump off of the Star Warrior into the metal. Just don't hold the metal while you are testing, for obvious reasons.

There is a holster and it has a double switch to work the stun. The switch forward one time for the light and forward again to activate the gun, but then you have to push a button.

Stun guns are measured in volts not amps. This has very low amps and high volts as a non lethal stun device weapon. Thank you

On the full charge - I have only shocked 2 people so far as they wanted to "test" it. They both took body shots to the abdomen and they both went down very quickly. So I can't say how many it will work on with a full charge - regardless it works. I would think that this is most effective with the combination of the surprise that it is both a flash light and tazer.

I 've tested it at 3, 6, 8, and 10 ft distance from the target. It does "shoot" the electrical shock to the target, strong enough to leave a mark and make the target stop on his/her tracks or fall (depending on the distance. Loss of balance has occurred at shorter distance from the target). I used dummies or dolls and a cardboard target. My brother also volunteered one day. He cried in pain and got a mark (he stood at 10 ft from the taser). Never volunteered again. The closer the target is, the more "damage" he or she will incur. Although it's not a toy, one should test it against an inanimate object once a month to make sure that it's fully charged and that it will work if needed. Hope this helps.

It will not. Most of the flash light stun guns have a light on off and a light selector. You will need to push the selector to the on position to use it. Easy enough to do if in a situation where you needed it, flip switch back with thumb ad push the button :-)
