- Stun guns come in different shapes and sizes. Some are camouflaged to mimic harmless devices like cell phones. Others are small enough to fit in the palm of your hand yet have the necessary stopping power. The small fry stun gun for example is only 3.25" long, 2" wide and only .75" thick yet it packs a 1 million volt punch. Click here for more information on small sized stun guns.
