What are stun sticks?

Stun sticks, also known as stun batons or electric batons, are handheld devices that deliver a high-voltage electric shock to incapacitate a target temporarily. They are often used by law enforcement and security personnel for self-defense or to subdue aggressive individuals without causing permanent harm. The electric shock interferes with the nervous system, causing pain and muscle contractions, which can immobilize a person for a short period. Stun sticks can vary in design and voltage, but they typically have a long handle for extended reach and safety.
