Stun guns or conducted electrical weapons (CEWs) are used to render a possible suspect unconscious. Such weapons administer electric shocks in order to disrupt muscle functions without causing significant harm to the suspect, who may represent a threat to law and order. These stun guns are used to contain violent circumstances involving civilians, as well as in situations where the use of lethal weapons is prohibited or where policy restricts the use of conventional force.
The law enforcement organizations segment held the largest Stun Gun Market share in 2017 and will continue to do so in the coming years. The growing use of stun guns by law enforcement agencies and special police forces, which has emerged as one of the most common practises in countries such as the United States, Australia, and Canada, is one of the major factors driving the Stun Gun Market segment's development.
