Stun guns that look like mobile phones aren’t new. But, the latest cellphone turned stun gun to be discovered actually looks like a decent handset upon cursory inspection.
This Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) look-alike is a fresh departure from previous stun guns masquerading as ugly monoblock handsets, and the police in Nottingham, England are surprised to have found it. The BBC reports that they found this stun gun disguised as a Sony Ericsson handset in the Hyson Green area. Although it looks like a Sony Ericsson slider, the fact that it doesn’t actually work as a cellphone but does deliver 900,000 volts of electricity through two metal prongs should make the user a little cautious.
In fact, the 900,000V shock is 18 more likely to be fatal than the 500,000V shock that police-issue Tasers deliver. “It’s a shock that we found it. We are always concerned about finding different types of weapons on the streets. This could potentially kill someone,” said a Nottingham police officer.
So, the next time you plan to mug a stranger, make sure they’re actually using their mobile phone as a phone. Otherwise you might be shocked to find that their handset is actually a stun gun.

Here we go again, you people have to get your facts straight. A hand held stun gun operates on a lower wattage range normally 7-14 watts and a Taser which actually shoots out two darts operates on a higher wattage around 18-26 watts. Think of it has the difference between a 40 watt light bulb and a 100 watt light bulb(any light bulbs go off up there). The Taser that Police Departments use are only 50,000 volts NOT 500,000 and you have all seen how well they take people down of all sizes. The British Bobby quoted saying that the cell phone stun gun could kill is neither a doctor nor an electrican. I sell Cell Phone Stun Guns and Tasers. I believe that these can save many more lives than all the bad press put together. Just ask someone the cops chose to Taser and not shoot with a 40cal. Glock.
This one is really a wonderful and shocking mobile device i am really surprise to read this post that a mobile device can produce a 900,000v called stun gun. this one is wonderful…
