Hello dinan and thank you for your question.
Yours is an interesting question, and as with 'how do things work'
type questions a very useful site is http://www.howstuffworks.com
On the subject of stun guns they have this:
"How Stun Guns Work"
"...the different parts of your body use electricity to communicate
with one another. This is actually a lot like a telephone system or
the Internet. Specific patterns of electricity are transmitted over
lines to deliver recognizable messages.
The basic idea of a stun gun is to disrupt this communication system.
Stun guns generate a high-voltage, low-amperage electrical charge. In
simple terms, this means that the charge has a lot of pressure behind
it, but not that much intensity. When you press the stun gun against
an attacker and hold the trigger, the charge passes into the
attacker's body. Since it has a fairly high voltage, the charge will
pass through heavy clothing and skin. But at around 3 milliamps, the
charge is not intense enough to damage the attacker's body unless it
is applied for extended periods of time.
It does dump a lot of confusing information into the attacker's
nervous system, however. This causes a couple of things to happen:
The charge combines with the electrical signals from the attacker's
brain. This is like running an outside current into a phone line: The
original signal is mixed in with random noise, making it very
difficult to decipher any messages. When these lines of communication
go down, the attacker has a very hard time telling his muscles to
move, and he may become confused and unbalanced. He is partially
paralyzed, temporarily.
The current may be generated with a pulse frequency that mimics the
body's own electrical signals. In this case, the current will tell the
attacker's muscles to do a great deal of work in a short amount of
time. But the signal doesn't direct the work toward any particular
movement. The work doesn't do anything but deplete the attacker's
energy reserves, leaving him too weak to move (ideally)."
