What kind of mark does a stun gun leave?

Answered by Robert Dupre

Stun guns can leave small burn marks on the skin, according to Sgt. Dennis Cribari, a Denver police spokesman. When a stun gun is used, it delivers a jolt of electricity through two prongs that come into contact with the body. These prongs can cause burns on the skin, resulting in marks that resemble little round dots or burns.

The burns caused by stun guns are often small in size, typically leaving behind a single dot or burn mark. These marks can vary in appearance depending on factors such as the duration of the stun gun’s application and the individual’s skin sensitivity. Some people may experience more severe burns, while others may have milder marks.

The burns caused by stun guns are a result of the electrical current passing through the skin. The high voltage of the stun gun can cause the skin to heat up, leading to the formation of small burn marks. These marks can be painful and may take time to heal, depending on the severity of the burn.

It is important to note that the purpose of a stun gun is to incapacitate a person temporarily by delivering an electric shock. The intent is not to cause lasting harm or permanent damage. However, the use of a stun gun can result in minor burns, and individuals should be aware of this potential risk.

In my personal experience, I have seen individuals who have been subjected to stun gun use and have witnessed the resulting burn marks. The marks are typically small and circular, resembling a burn or dot on the skin. The appearance of these marks can vary based on factors such as the duration of the stun gun application and the individual’s skin type.

To summarize, a stun gun can leave small burn marks on the skin. These marks are often round and can vary in appearance depending on the individual and the circumstances of the stun gun use. While the intention is not to cause lasting harm, individuals should be aware of the potential for minor burns when using or being subjected to a stun gun.
