would discharging a stun gun on to a cars metal parts cause harm to the electronics of that vehicle?

Question

would a 100,000 + volt stun gun fry the onboard engine management microprocessors when triggered to a vehicles' ground,i.e.:frame,body panels,door handles,etc. ???

Answer 1

Only if you hit those parts. Just as when lightning hits a car electricity travels to the outside of metal objects, leaving the inside bits untouched. If you hit a part only connected to the computer (like a wiring harness) then wires that expect a few volts would fry the parts they were attached to.

Answer 2

No, because of the fact your not "polishing off" a circuit to any of the on-board electronics in the vehicle while the stun gun is discharged to the chassis. there is not any "connection" to the effective fringe of the vehicle. If the stun weapons 2 electrodes are discharged in the region of any swap or administration with any opposing skill (+ and -), then definite, injury will maximum probable happen.

Answer 3

If the vehicle is grounded well, the voltage potential will seep to the ground first before harming the electronic equipment. Otherwise it could very well harm the electronic equipment.
