US 9,518,727 B1 · Systems and methods for remote stun

Abstract

A demotivator encourages a human or animal target to cease moving. Demotivation is accomplished by conducting electricity through target tissue to cause pain or to cause skeletal muscle contractions. An accessory used with a security flashlight provides a remote stun function, demotivation at a distance from the operator of the flashlight by launching wire-tethered electrodes for contact with target tissue. For a demotivator that provides illumination projecting from the front of the demotivator, the accessory mounts over the front and includes a passage through which the illumination passes. The accessory may include a laser sight for aiming the electrodes. The accessory may include a socket for installing a field-replaceable cartridge.
