Hazard

The toy pistol incorporates an electric circuit powered by a battery, which generates a series of pulses with a maximum peak voltage of 1047.6 volts. Electric discharge voltage depends on the speed by which the trigger is pulled. Particularly, pressure increase implies maximum voltage rate increase. This is certainly unpleasant and may be harmful to particularly susceptible persons or those wearing pacemakers. There are no user warnings on the product itself.
