Abstract: An projectile and method of using same employ a projectile body; an electric circuit housed within the projectile body; a plurality of electrodes, coupled to the electric circuit, for delivering an electrical shock to the target; and attachment means, coupled to the projectile body, for attaching the projectile to the target.

Abstract: A device and method for stunning a human or other living animal employs a nozzle or other such means through which a conductive fluid stream can be discharged toward the living animal; a current supply that is electrically coupled to the conductive fluid stream; and a grounding conductor that is coupled between the current supply and a ground potential. When the conductive fluid stream is discharged toward the human or other living animal and impacts the human or other living animal, the current supply passes a current through the human or other living animal when the human or other living animal becomes electrically coupled between the conductive fluid stream and the ground potential. The current is of sufficient magnitude to stun the human or other living animal. As a result, the human or other living animal is stunned when impacted with the conductive fluid stream.
