What should I pay attention to before buying a stungun for self-defense? What should I ask the seller at the gun store? In this article we will talk about the purchase of electroshock devices made in Russia.

SEVEN PARAMETERS TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHEN CHOOSING A STUNGUN

When choosing a powerful stungun for self-defense made in Russia, several factors should be taken into account:

1. Power and voltage: Decide on the required power and voltage of the device. Voltage up to 90 kV (stun gun 1 class, the maximum permitted voltage according to GOST), 3 W power can provide the most powerful electric discharge and high efficiency of use.

2. Size and convenience of daily operation: An important parameter is the size and weight of the stun gun. It is better to choose a compact device that will be convenient to carry, especially if the device is not constantly worn on a waist belt or stored only indoors/in a car.

3. Reliability and quality: Check the manufacturer's reputation and user ratings regarding the quality and reliability of products. Find out how long they have been on the market and study the reviews of their stun guns. In the future, you may need to contact the manufacturer for warranty/post-warranty service.

4. Functionality: Consider the additional features that you need in the stun gun, such as a built-in flashlight, the possibility of using remote and flashbang cartridges, etc. Choose a device with functionality that meets your needs.

5. Legislation: Make sure that the stungun you have chosen complies with local legislation, has an up-to-date certificate of conformity and is manufactured on the territory of the Russian Federation. We remind you that in order to purchase a stungun you will need to show your passport. Learn more about the rules for buying and selling electroshock weapons.

6. Warranty and post-warranty service: Make sure that the manufacturer provides a warranty for their products and has a reliable support service so that you can get advice and repairs if necessary.

7. Price: Set your budget and compare prices for different models of stun guns. However, remember that for self-defense weapons, quality and efficiency are more important than a low price. A powerful 1 Class  stungun cannot cost 2-3 thousand rubles.

It is important not to rush into choosing, but to study the information and compare models from different manufacturers, read reviews and recommendations from other users, as well as consult with sellers in gun stores or with manufacturers directly to choose a powerful and reliable stungun for self-defense.
