Stun Batons Share The Same Advantage Over Traditional Stun Devices As a Boxer Over His Opponent

I have always been a fan of boxing and if you are too you will notice there are always certain physical attributes that are compared for each fighter before the fight. First of all there are weight classes so weight is certainly one attribute that could be considered an advantage in a fight. Height is another and you will almost always see that comparison listed in a brief screenshot right before the fight. So height to a lesser degree than weight could certainly be an advantage for a boxer but it’s not height as much as it is another physical attribute that usually gives a taller boxer an advantage over a shorter boxer and that is reach. The reason is simple, if Boxer A doesn’t have to be standing as close to Boxer B as Boxer B does to Boxer A in order to land a punch than Boxer A is going to have a clear advantage.

This same principle applies to stun devices and stun batons share the exact same advantage over traditional stun guns. That advantage being that an individual does not need to be standing as close to an attacker as they would with a traditional stun device in order for a baton to be effective. With any stun device, including a stun baton, the contacts (the area of the device that actually emits the electrical charge) needs to be touching an attacker in order for the device to do it’s job, which is shock and subdue the attacker. This can be a stressful situation for even the strongest and fastest of civilians but even more so for someone that may not be as strong and fast as their attacker as there is a possibility that the device could be wrestled away and even used on the person carrying the stun gun in the first place. With a stun baton that stress can be relieved to some degree because you’ve now got not only arms reach on your attacker but two arms reach. The Stun Master telescopic baton, for example, is almost 2 feet long when fully extended and unless your attacker is the Jolly Green Giant he or she is going to have an immense amount of difficulty getting to you before the baton touches them and renders them completely incapacitated.

Reach is not the only advantage that a stun baton has over a traditional device either. Contact space (again the area of the device that does the actual shocking) is much greater on a baton than on a traditional stun device. Most stun guns have about 2.5 inches of contact and that 2.5 inches needs to be touching an attacker in order to work, whereas a stun baton gives its user an average of 18 inches to touch an attacker and be effective.

So if you are considering a stun device for your own protection I hope that you will consider these facts before making a purchase.
