Yet another about Stun Guns...

hi, i did access your site gary and it was nice but un helpful to me. i notice that stun gun designs come in two forms: transistors or the 555 timer. i am trying to build one using the 555 timer design. so aside from direct advice i cannot benefit from you site. sorry!

there is an x on the transformer for this stun gun design, does it mean that it must be tied down? and what does x100 mean?

The "X" is just a Test Point for the Increased Voltage.

If you want to use a 555, it is not a problem, just replace the transistors with a 555 driving the transformer.
BUT if you want a Reasonablypowerful Stun Gun you will still need a transistor to increase the output of the 555.

now we're getting somewhere

thanks for the advice guys, i also have another question or two. what does the 102 and 103 stand for? i inderstand that they are capacitors but what are their values? also what is the info on the tranformer, how many times turns ratio is required?
 
...is it safe...

i need to now whether it would be a safe shematic. being that i will build it in my electronics class. and a i don't want anyone thinking that im trying to kill people at school. also sorry about posting a reply so late after te original post was made. ;)

It's a weapon, how can you expect it to be safe?.

I would have thought any school would be SERIOUSLY angry if you took such a device to school, or attempted to build it there.
