They look and feel like ordinary cell phones do, but they don't work like them. They're stun guns in disguise and they come with its own set of pros and cons.

How Cell Phone Stun Guns Work
Cell phone stun guns are hard to distinguish from actual mobile phones at first glance. They come with their own - fake - LCD screens and they even have their own keypads. But instead of being able to press SEND or dial 911, a cell phone stun gun gives you the upper hand over your attacker, allowing you to take the offense with the element of surprise in you side.

How to Choose a Cell Phone Stun Gun
Here are several factors to consider if you're shopping around for a cell phone stun gun.

Power
Cell phone stun guns are able to release electrical charges ranging generally from 800,000 to 1,000,000 volts. Models with higher voltage capabilities will cost you more but they are also more effective for subduing your attacker.

Appearance
If you want the element of surprise to be firmly on your side then you need to look for the most realistic-looking model. Cell phone stun guns come in all shapes and sizes and you need to choose one that doesn't just look like a mobile phone but also looks like the type of mobile phone that suits your personality or lifestyle. You need to purchase a model that people won't give second glances at because it fits your image perfectly.

Safety
Cell phone stun guns are not only dangerous to would-be attackers but they can also be harmful to you due to negligent handling and lack of safety features. When shopping for a cell phone gun, remember to choose a model that comes with all the safety features necessary for preventing accidental discharge.

Value
Some cell phone stun guns don't just work as a self-defense weapon. They are also designed to work as flashlights, too. If you want value for your money then choose a model able to serve dual purposes. It's much more inconspicuous this way, too, as others would be more inclined to think you're only using a mobile phone with flashlight capabilities.

Battery and Charging
Consider the type of battery used and how long batteries of that type lasts. Is it rechargeable and if it is, what's the method of recharging? You need to consider these things as they can increase or decrease the level of safety your cell phone stun gun can afford you. after all, what good would a cell phone stun gun do if it's ran out of power?
