To start with, i'm *not* a weapons-freak or anything, actually,
i sincerely hate violence and think it's about the most childish and
stupid thing ever.
So, why did i do this? Well, i played with decatrone tubes one night, forgot
to discharge a cap and discharged the 380 volts into my arm. After the shock
i decided to build a stun gun. I have, for a long time,
admired the *design* of weapons and also the materials and designs
often reoccuring in 50's - 70's sci-fi.
This "weapon" has never been tested and will never be since it's
merely a play with design, allthough - in theory - it should work.

The materials used are aluminium, steel (i think?) and bakelite, my favourite material of
all times. Notice the small notch at the tip of the gun, that is one
of the details i like the most. The gun consists to 90% of salvaged parts from
a Tektronix oscilloscope found in a dumpster, and 10% from an old tape recorder.
This piece was built in 5 hours inbetween 2 and 7 in the morning.
