Can I use either one of these stun gun circuit diagrams?

Hello All,

Well I want to install stun gun ignition into my cannon....But stun guns are illegal in Wisconsin.. :(

Soo I want to just build the circuit for one...And I found this one website with two schematics..And just want to know a) If either of them will work and b) Which one will work better for me, because I am not extremely skilled in electronics?? It seems like the second one would be easier...But I couldn't tell...So please let me know...

Here's the link : http://www.personalarms.com/schematics.htm

Thanks :D

K thanks for the advice.....Lol...Anyone experienced with circuits know?

EDIT: I probably just won't mess with it actually...My BBQ ignitor works fine...Plus the circuit alone might be illegal.....So never mind..

My stun gun Ignition works real good for methere not illeagle here in PA. I don't have a spark stip or anything but it uses about a 1/4 inch gap with brass screws dead in the middle of the gun compliments to Chaos i have some pics but they are small but it might help you set it up if you use the stun gun circuit from Sqort87 hope this helps :)

The first link Is the same as mine when I tore my stun gun apart, The $28 one. I paid about $50 to $55 for mine from Ebay, but it is rechargable. Some ppl will still sell them to you but I don't want you to get in trouble. But which ever way you go, If you can get a complete one just tear it apart throw the case away and get a project box then it's not a stun gun no more :twisted:

Is the spark loud in the cannon? A 1/4" gap is quite loud in mine.
