Ya the capacitor just makes the current high so it cramps up your arm. That happened to me. I had to hit hy hand on the table to release it from my grasp. but if you desolder the capacitor and put 2 wires leading from the 2 points of the capacitor, the current will be very very small. I took a fujifilm camera and i put it inside a mini altoids can. with no capacitor. It just numbs you and it feels kinda tingly. It does no harm and i dropped it from 330V to 250V with 7Mil ohms resistors |

I shocked myself with a disposible camera once...I was trying o take the battery out and I had just charged the flash before because I was playing with it. The shock was so strong I actually couldn't drop the thing. My hand seized up and finally I chucked the camera. I was shaking for about 20 minutes after. |

As the old idiom says danthew- It's the amps that cramp, it's the volts that jolt. |

Its not the volts, its the amps that kills. This "taser" is extremly dangerous because it will have very high amps and only a few milliapms across your heart will kill. Seriously, if you get shocked by this on the chest and you are unlucky you could die.Someone said before me that they accidently shocked themselves and their arm was numb for a while. If it happens to your heart then your heart stops beating and you die. Please don't try this. All it takes is a small combination of circumstances and someone dies. And if you aren't the one dying you're the one going to jail.
Sorry to sound so morbid but people messing around with electricity scares me. People underestimate it.

I made one in college just by hooking the wires to an opened camera. When you pushed the shutter button it would shock hard enough to give you a little burn, but hardly enough to incapacitate someone. |

Or, instead of damaging the capacitor by discharging it with a fairly high resistance bridge (as evidenced by the "black stuff"), you could just look for the capacitor and wire to that...and bubba gum, touching a conductor (metal or electrolytic fluids, including humans) with both ends will discharge it |

I used to work in a photo lab. One time I shocked myself about my hand went numb.. it was one of those really crappy disposables that I couldn't get the film out of, and I ended up having to take it apart.  |

I'll stick to butane lighters, and yeah remove the battery with a knife whilst clutching the metal, no danger there.Don't call me a doodyhead because I have been shocked more than the ground in a lightning storm. |

This was big when I was in highschool, every douche made one. It was pretty bad, everyone got tased at least a couple times. |

Yea, I can't see how one double or triple A battery could really do any damage |

A couple of years ago my brother took apart a disposable camera because he thought you needed to take out the film for it to get developed.. Anyways, this thing was lying open on a table and I was examining it when I got shocked by the flash capacitator. It hurt like hell, but it doesn't kill you, incapacitate you or whatever, so stop overreacting. I don't recommend exposing yourself to the shock for an extended period of time, but still. |

i notice it never said anything about the voltage, or how potentially dangerous it would be to use this on a person... |
