View Full Version : Cattle prod...

was considering getting a compact electrical cattle prod for some fun drunken nights of pain.
Anyone tried one?
Exactly how bad are we talking about?
If a person gets zapped in the balls, are we talking permanent damage?
How about on a closed eye?
...also, is there any way to, say, augment one that would make it stronger?
That'll be all for now.
Much obliged.

Having grown up in west Kansas I've done some stupid shit on ranches & farms and let me tell you it hurts like hell and leaves a little burnt black spot. This is JACKASS territory here.
Now this was 20+ years ago, so I don't know if technology has changed or the prods have been made more humane, but my cousin shocked me on the ass and it hurt. My muscles spazzed out, I fell and hit my head on the fence and it burnt my jeans.
Do it to someone's eye and they'll be fucked up. Do it to someone's balls and I don't know there'd be permanent damage but the person might KILL you for shocking their sack like that.
May as well just get a stun gun
Sounds like fun:)

Not really, theyre actually a bit safer than some of the stuff we do when we get stupid.
Sounds like fun
...I'm sure it'll only be temporary.

I know you can get them around here with seeting for low medium and high.I've never been stuck with a cattle prod but I've felt the wraith of a stun gun a few times and it wasn't fun.

I've never actually felt a cattle prod so I can't tell, but I would just assume that it would be hard because I remember someone talking about bashing a cow in the head with a bat and the thing still not moving.
i like that idea - just go bash yourself in the head with a bat. . .
i'm also fond of inserting barbed wire into my anus . . . ouch that smarts!

"That, in my opinion, is child abuse."
No shit Sherlock.
:A hotshot is typically cylindrical, and can carry an open electric current at the "shock end" when activated. The electric current at the shock end runs through two metal electrodes. Anything which touches the electric current receives a high-voltage low-current shock, not strong enough to kill a human or a large animal such as a cow or sheep from short-term exposure, but it is enough to cause significant pain.
The electric cattle prod was originally created to apply a painful shock to cattle, and thus "prod" them along; the pain stimulates movement. Some higher-voltage hotshots can interfere with radio and CB radio reception when activated.
There were reports of police using them on humans, before specialized police stun batons were available."
Why not just get a taser?

I get that...but in my case, no minors, only fully consenting drunken adult fools.
Why not just get a taser?
It would be my preference if they were available here.
Why, wanna ship me some stuff?

Urban legend, I'm sure, cuz I read the same story with his cat looking at him like he was a dumbass, but funny none the less.
Subject: Shocking, Go to the bathroom first!!!
My First Taser Experience (make that ONLY)... MY words... LOL...
My wife is fond of saying that my last words on this earth will be something akin to "Well, I have out-done myself once again." No doubt you will see this true story chronicled in a Lifetime movie in the near future. Here goes...
Last weekend I spied something at the pawnshop that tickled my fancy. (Note: Keep in mind that my "fancy" is easily tickled). I bought something really cool for my wife. The occasion was our 18th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my sweet girl.
What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Taser gun with a clip. For those of you who are not familiar with this product, it is a less-than-lethal stun gun with two metal prongs designed to incapacitate an assailant with a shock of high-voltage, low amperage electricity while you flee to safety. The effects are supposed to be short lived with no long-term
adverse affect on your assailant, but allowing you adequate time to retreat to safety. You simply jab the prongs into your 250 lb. tattooed assailant, push the button, and it will render him a slobbering, goggle-eyed, muscle twitching, whimpering, pencil-neck geek. If you've never seen one of these things in action, then you're truly missing out--way too cool!
Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was so disappointed. Upon reading the directions (we don't need no stinkin' directions) I found much to my chagrin that this particular model would not create an arc between the prongs. How disappointing! I do love fire for effect. I learned that if I pushed the button, however, and pressed it against a metal surface that I'd get the blue arch of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs that I was so looking forward to. I did so. Awesome! Sparks, a blue arc of electricity, and a loud pop! Yipeeeeee! I'm easily amused, just for your information, but I have yet to explain to her what that burn spot on the face of her microwave is.
Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, etc. etc. There I sat in my recliner, my dog looking on intently (trusting little soul), reading the directions (that would be me, not the dog) and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh and blood target. I must admit I thought about zapping the dog for a fraction of a second and thought better of it. He is such a sweet pup, after all. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? Was I wrong to think that? It seemed reasonable to me at the time.
So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, Taser in the other. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water.
All the while I'm looking at this little device (measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference, pretty cute really, and loaded with two itsy bitsy AAA batteries) thinking to myself, "No friggin' way!"
Friggin' way - trust me, but I'm getting ahead of myself. What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best. Those of you who know me well have got a pretty good idea of what followed. I'm sitting there alone, the dog looking on with his head cocked to one side as to say, "Don't do it buddy," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny lil' ole thing
couldn't hurt all that bad (sound, rational thinking under the circumstances, wouldn't you agree?). I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the hell of it. (Note: You know, a bad decision is like hindsight-- always 20-20. It is so obvious that it was a bad decision after the fact, even though it seemed so right at the time. Don't ya just hate that?)
I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY*! DAaaaauuuuuuMN!!! I'm pretty sure that Jessie Ventura ran in through the front door, picked me up out of that recliner, and then body slammed me on the carpet over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, soaking wet, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position. The dog was standing over me making sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to himself, "Do it again, do it again!"
(NOTE: If you ever feel compelled to mug yourself with a Taser, one note of caution. There is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself. You're not going to let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. Then, if you're lucky, you won't lodge one of the prongs 1/4" deep into your thigh like yours truly.)
SON-OF-A-* that hurt! A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at this point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My glasses were on the TV across the room. How did they get there??? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain,
and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. give or take an ounce or two, I'm pretty sure.
By the way, has anyone seen my testicles? I think they ran away. I'm offering a reward. They're round, kinda hairy, and handsome if I must say so myself. Miss 'em; sure would like to get 'em back.
Never Touchin' the Taser Again!

Another glowing reccomendation.
Seriously, if anyone in the states could send one my way thatd be awesome...just like, pm me if you're good for it.
If not, the ol' cattle prod will have to do.

just lick the socket
Or use a fork and a toaster...
Seriously man, you can probably find cheaper and easier ways to hurt yourselves and each other. Ooooo, here's an idea, get a halloween costume... something like a deer, and then at night run across the street just as a car is coming (the winner is the one who runs across closest to the car).

He is Australian, it would have to be a Kangaroo costume... but he would probably end up looking like my signature...

I have actually enjoyed the wonderous touch of a caddle prod before. It was done to my calf. There is a sharp burn and then the limb goes numb. The great part is that this fuzzy tingling goes all through your body... although it is not so fuzzy and the tingling is more like serrated needles.
Go for it!
I really do not even know how I got in to allowing it done to myself. I was not drunk at the time, nor buzzed, nor anything. I was with a friend at a campsite with a lot of her friends I did not know. One of them randomly asked me, "Hey, you want to know what it feels like to be cattle prodded?" I thought about it for a second---without being coaxed, but also realizing how random it being that there was a cattle prod in the vicinity---and I replied, "Okay."

Oh, and also, just to convince you further of the thrill.
The pain in thawing a frostbit finger is much worse than being cattle prodded. ;)
