Stun batons are a popular tool for subduing criminals at close range with no long term harm. They are an electroshock weapon similar to tasers, but while a taser shoots a projectile that is connected to a flexible wire to distribute the shock, a baton is used at a much closer range. This has advantages and disadvantages, the advantage being that it is much easier to make direct contact with the baton. Often a taser’s projectiles will miss if poorly aimed, or they won’t stick properly. The wires can also be easily broken before enough electricity is administered to effectively subdue a person.

The disadvantage to using a stun baton is the short range that it has, generally only a few feet. The attacker is going to be much closer when the shock is administered which could still cause harm to an officer. However the baton can be held onto the attacker easier, or repeatedly used as well with no reloading time. A taser has one, maybe two shots one better models.

Although a very high voltage is used in stun batons and other electroshock devices, it generates a low electric current when applied, because of the human bodies electrical resistance. The resulting shock is caused by muscles twitching uncontrollably appearing as muscle spasms. People with poor health are affected more by these devices, and they can be fatal if used incorrectly.
