Stun gun disguised as a cell phone

The Taiwanese personal security firm, Motedo has developed a stun gun that is disguised as a cell phone that can deliver a 180,000 volt shock from the antenna. The handset also comes with a loud siren, claimed at up to 130 dB.

The "phone" is unable to make phone calls though.

Surprisingly the stun gun phone works on a normal domestic battery, and fortunately - considering the high voltage it puts out, has a large safety switch on the side.

It also comes with a leather case designed to allow the electric shock to work unimpeded.

The "handset" weighs 150 grams and measures 150 x 48 x 30 mm.

Not totally sure this will protect people - surely if you are being robbed (or kidnapped) - the first thing the attacker will remove from you would be the cell phone ?
