THE STUN GUN

WHAT IS A STUN GUN?

A stun gun is a non-lethal weapon that discharges a high voltage low-amperage shock, which will immobilize an attacker for several minutes without doing any lasting harm. Stun guns are considered reasonable force to resist attacks, are legal in most states, and can be carried concealed or unconcealed, without a license.
A stun gun does not shoot anything. Instead it looks similar to a portable phone, with two prongs protruding at one end(as shown in the adjacent figure). Touching a person with the prongs on the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.




How does a stun gun stop an attacker?

Stun guns are designed to key into the
muscular and neural systems, rather than relying on pain. They dump their energy into the muscles at a different frequency than the pulse waves emanating from the brain. The pulse waves coming from the brain and those from the stun gun collide at the nerve synapse' which is a type of complex processing switch adjacent to each muscle group. The resulting energy collision or discharge over-stimulates the  muscles causing them to work extremely hard and fast, but inefficiently, resulting in loss of balance and control. The stimulation of the muscles depletes the  blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid. Without blood sugar, the muscles have no energy to function, rendering the attacker immobile. This biological domino effect occurs within seconds of being stunned and makes it difficult for an attacker to move and function. This causes disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for several minutes. Still, stun guns have no significant effect on the heart and other organs.


How long does it take to immobilize someone with a stun gun?

.The length of time a stun gun stays in contact with the attacker determines what kind of affect the gun produces. A contact time of 1/2 second will get an attacker's attention and cause some discomfort and muscle contractions. Contact time of 1-2 seconds will daze the assailant and produce muscle spasms, while 1-5 seconds delivers the maximum benefit of total loss of muscle control and balance. Recovery time will be several minutes.

BERMUDA TRIANGLE:An unsolved mystery.............

What is Bermuda Triangle?


Bermuda triangle is the area between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico which resembles an exact triangle.Bermuda triangle is also called "Devil Sea".It is located in The Sargasso sea.
A sketch of Bermuda triangle is given below.....



What made Bermuda triangle so famous???

Scores of ships and planes are said to have vanished without trace over the decades in a vast triangular area of ocean with imaginary points in Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico which made it to gain everyone's attention.A list of flights and ships that have been vanished over the triangle is given below..

Lost Planes in Bermuda Triangle 

FLIGHT 19: The Avenger planes of Flight 19 never returned to the U.S. Naval Base. They just simply disappeared into the oblivion. Was that the truth? 

Tudor Star Tiger Aircraft Mystery: Star Tiger, a Tudor Mark-IV aircraft disappeared in Bermuda Triangle shortly before it was about to land at the Bermuda airport. 

PBM Martin Mariner - The search plane: When the hopes for Flight-19 was quickly fading, two Martin Mariner planes were sent by US Navy for search operations. One came back, but the other didn't. Read the full story. 

Fight DC-3 Disappearance: The flight DC-3 NC16002 disappeared when it was only 50 miles south of Florida and about to land in Miami. 

Flight 441 Disappearance: The flight 441, a Super Constellation Naval Airliner, disappeared in Bermuda Triangle in October 1954 

C-54 Skymaster: Apparently it would seem to be a sudden thunderstorm that would have disintegrated the C-54 plane. But there was much more to the story. 

Lost Ships in Bermuda Triangle 



Mary Celeste - The Ghost Ship: Known as one of the ghost ships of Bermuda Triangle, Mary Celeste had many misadventures even before her mystery voyage in 1872. 


Marine Sulphur Queen: This 524-foot carrier of molten sulphur started sail on Feb 2, 1963 from Beaumont, Texas with 39 crew. It was reported lost in Florida Straits on February 4. 

Ellen Austin - a multi masted ship: The Ellen Austin, an American schooner, met with another ship in Bermuda Triangle. The other ship that was moving in full speed, strangely had nobody on board. 





USS Cyclops - The carrier ship:  
Disappearance of the ship U.S.S. Cyclops in Bermuda Triangle has been one of the greatest mysteries of the sea.

USS Scorpion - The USN Submarine: USS Scorpion (SSN-589) was a Nuclear powered submarine of United States Navy that disappeared in Bermuda Triangle area in May 1968. 

Witchcraft- Witchcraft, a 23-foot cabin cruiser went missing for ever in Bermuda Triangle area on the night of December 22, 1967. The owner took it offshore only to watch the lights of Miami shoreline.
