i ordered a stunggun for my big combustion cannon, its 100,000 volts, i had the old wires still on my gun and the screw i have inside there isnt much of a gap at and and when i hook up the wires no zap inside the chamber??

could it be too small of a stungun?



and someone had posted a diagram of a stungun taken apart, using 3/4 inch pvc to cover the electrodes, and how to put the wires on to the electrodes? that person please repost

Stun guns are rather current-hungry and need a fairly good battery, otherwise you won't get so much as a whine out of it.(You probably should check obvious stuff like this before posting, btw).

Some have a safety pin/key that has to be plugged in to work, check that also.

Why don't you look in your own postings for a change rather than a new topic?

You didn't even check to see if the battery was dead before posting here?

And you wonder why people flame you on the forums... :roll:

#1 - Don't name a topic "any idea how?". What does that tell us? A topic title is the title of what your topic is about. If you insist on using such vague titles, I will encourage members to respond to questions such as "any idea how?" with a simple "no".

#2 - You had this thread, barely a day old, for your stungun questions. No need to make a second.

#3 - We harass you in this topic for being vague and lazy. How the hell are we supposed to know what type of stungun you have, how to dismantle it and how to put it back together? I'm really worried that a gas company hired you when you constantly ask "how long is a piece of string" questions.

Answer: dismantle the stungun, put it in a project box.

We don't know how to take apart your stungun. Figure it out; look for some screws.

FFS. Not only had you asked about dismantling stunguns already (and then made a second topic asking the same thing), you had been given the link in this thread AS WELL AS a previous thread in which you were active.

Sort your shít out jsefcik. I hate doing this on the forum instead of via PM but you just never learn.

It's glued together, if you run a stanley knife across the seam, then use a small flat head screwdriver to lever it open, it should come apart without breaking. It might break if you aren't careful with it.

But first, check the battery.
