Boom! The classic potato gun harnesses the combustion of flammable vapor.

I hav'nt shot 50 times and it looks like stun circuit has died.
Checked voltage on batt.--13.25 Went to circuit directly w/jumpers,
no spark. Three spark gaps at 1/8". I don't hold botton down for more
than a second.
Any simalar problems for other members?
I just ordered replacement from sgort.
Any one know life span of stun circuit?

Try to go for quality stunguns or they die quickly.

How "quality" do they need to be? Think the ones from <a href="https://host436.ipowerweb.com/~spudshot ... pudshot</a> would cut it? I need to know before wasting 20 bucks.

I live in a state where I can't buy a stun gun.
If I could buy one I 'd get a expensive one, ya get what ya pay for.
I have checked the prices,they can be very inexpensive- cheap.
20$ is cheap Thanks for feed back

My stungun used to be horrible when it shocked me, now its not that bad.
I used to feel that my leg was broken now it feels like i'm just being shocked.
so yes, they do wear out.

I found that I was giving it to much juice, 12v drill batt.
It was a great idea at the time
