Stun Master Stun Guns - - Reliable And Effective Self Defense For Over 15 Years

For over 25 years stun guns have been the choice of people looking for non-lethal self defense. Stun Master stun guns have been the choice of thousands over the last 15 years. Not many stun guns manufacturers can say that. Stun Master is one of the most trusted and reliable stun guns on the market. They come with a Life-Time Warranty.

Stun Master stun guns are simple to use and reliable. They are effective because of the low amperage shock they give. People usually think it is the high voltage of stun guns that stops an attacker. Not true. Voltage doesn't hurt anyone...it's amperage. One amp will kill someone. Our stun guns only have between 5-8 milliamps. Just enough to incapacitate an attacker without doing any permanent damage. They are Non-Lethal.

Streetwise Stun Guns

Our Streetwise Products have two additional categories:
Top Gun Series: includes the following:
ICP5000, SF5000RB, SF5000RH, SWT7500R, SWSG6000R, and SWB6000R
Value Series: SF2000R, SF7500RB, SF7500RP, and ICP3500R

We understand that offering such a large variety of stun guns can be a little overwhelming, so to help the end user identify the best quality model in each style, we came up with a seal called “Top Gun Certification” which identifies the most elite model in each stun gun category. These models are designed for those who want the best protection money can buy. To help identify these “best in class” models the Top Gun logo is clearly visible on the front of each product packaging.

We call these models our Value Series because they cater to the buyer who wants a good quality stun gun at the lowest possible price.

Streetwise has built a reputation for having the best quality units and low prices. In the last several years many new companies have entered the market, offering very low priced stun guns. Although these new models offered no lifetime warranty, were not covered by any product liability insurance and were clearly inferior to our “Streetwise quality”, our customers began to request some models that could compete with these low price points. We were hesitant at first because we did not want to sacrifice quality just to lower the cost of a product that could be used to save someone’s life. Our buyers traveled to China and found many factories producing these low cost models. In fact, one reason the price was so low was that these are considered “common molds” in China, meaning that any factory producing stun guns offered these models. As is true with any product, excess supply lowers the price. Each factory wanted to offer the lowest price and began using increasingly cheaper components. Although the prices were great, the quality was well below our standard.

We decided the best way to keep our price down was to use these common outer shells but use superior components on the inside to make them “Streetwise Quality.” This allows us to include it in our lifetime warranty. Although Streetwise Stun Guns are better than other units that look similar, if price is not your biggest concern and you want the best possible protection you can buy, then we recommend our Top Gun Series

Stun guns are an excellent means of self-defense; first as a deterrent and, if need be, they can disable an attacker temporarily by delivering a non-lethal, high-voltage electric shock. Just test firing one of them into the air is often enough to stop an attack or aggressive activity. As the bright electric current pulsates between the test prongs it creates an intimidating electrical sight and sound. An attacker with any sense at all will stop in his tracks. If the sight and sound doesn't stop him a jolt from the unit certainly will! Simply touching him with the device will deliver a high voltage shock causing loss of balance and muscle control, confusion, and disorientation- bringing him to his knees and making him incapable of further aggressive activity. Full recovery takes about five to ten minutes. There is no permanent harm. Here is an actual quote from Sgt. Robert Williams who had to use one of our stun guns while working for VPS Security Company in California, "I would like to say what a well made product it is. It enabled me to take down 2 people safely and without any injury. This deterred the crowd that they were with until the police arrived.'

Some people have criticized stun guns because you need to touch someone for them to be effective. The reality is that most people who have a need to defend themselves find that the attacker is already within reach and usually have hands on them. That makes it very simple to press the stun gun against the attackers abdomen, neck or groin and pull the trigger releasing aggression stopping pain. Just stunning them on the hand that is grabbing you will make them let go.

You shouldn't worry about being shocked should the attacker be touching you. Won't happen! The current will not pass to you.

The purpose of stun guns is to quickly stop aggressive activity and give you an opportunity to escape.

History of Stun Guns

Here's a brief history of the stun gun.

After the first batteries were created in the late 1800's an inventor, John Burton from Wichita, Kansas applied for and received a patent for his "Electric Prod Pole", or an electric cattle prod. Burton's purpose for creating this was to assist driving cattle without damaging their hides.

The model was very simple but effective. It used a battery, a coil of wound wire, and two prongs, one positive and the other negative. The coil stepped up the voltage enough so that the current could penetrate an animal's hide and cause a localized shock. Within a couple of decades another patent was given for a very similar battery powered design that used a new method to hold the end-cap on and added an on/off switch.

In 1950 the electric cattle prod was used by most cowboys to move cattle up the chutes. I'm sure it wasn't long before one cowboy zapped another and a seed for another use was planted.

In 1933 a Cuban inventor named Cirilo Diaz developed a "Stun Glove" that he thought would help the police cope with unruly suspects and demonstrators.

But, it didn't catch on. In the early 1960s police used cattle prods to help control riots and civil rights protesters.

Then comes Jack Cover who invented the Taser. Educated as a nuclear physicist, Cover invested most of his career earning a living in aerospace and defense industries. He started to build the Taser in the 1960s because of a rash of airplane hijackings. Sky marshals began carrying pistols on commercial airliners to deter hijackers, but Cover saw the possible danger. If a bullet missed the hijacker and pierced the fuselage instead, the plane could crash.

He thought he could come up with a non-lethal way to stop hijackers.

In an interview with the Orange County Register in 1991 Cover said that he got the idea for the Taser after hearing about a man who was briefly immobilized by a fallen power line. He began experimenting in his garage and in the late 1960s developed a device that looked something like a flashlight but fired darts that transmitted an electrical charge. The darts had a range up to 15 feet.

He got the name for the device from one of his favorite childhood books, "Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle." In the book, the Tom Swift invents a rifle that shoots out bolts of electricity. The story obviously continued to inspire Cover's creativity years later, when he thought of the name TASER as an acronym for "Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifle." Cover added the middle initial "A" so the name would make more sense.

Since the 1960s the idea of a non-lethal, hand held personal protection device has inspired many styles such as lipstick stun guns, stun batons, flashlight stun guns, cell phone stun guns and other disguised stun gun device styles.

Holster models are great for walkers as these can be worn discretely on your person.
Safety Switches are included in most models.
Wrist band lanyard pin disablement is also a really great aspect of a well built stun gun..
Rechargeable Battery Stun Guns are a bit more expensive and ensure your product can always be fully charged and you can test it as often as you like.
