I just got a Stun Gun and it will be my first time wiring one up for a cannon and I'm kind of worried about shocking myself, I've heard people mention using flyback cables but I don't know where I can get some without buying a whole flyback transformer, any suggestions?

By the way, this is a coaxial combustion cannon and I think I came up with a pretty novel spark gap, pictures coming as soon as I test it out.

Wire for meter test leads is nice, it has good insulation and is fine-threaded and very flexible.

I agree with Galfisk, mutimeter wire is good stuff and so is a few types of
automotive wire.
But just depends on how powerful your stun gun is.

Fingers work great too, but make sure they're your friends or something first. :lol:
