People who think this is a suitable weapon to use in most casual circumstances are mistaken, this gun can deliver a 50,000 volt shock to the system which in itself can cause a wide range of unexpected consequences ranging from heart attacks to epileptic fits or seizures.

Not a weapon to be used lightly, specialised training is absolutely essential.
Got to agree with that.
