Tazer Glove

Step 2Take apart the camera

Take apart the camera
This step varies with the different cameras so I can only give a general instruction for this part.

Steps:

1. Remove label, box, sticker, or whatever package the camera is wrapped in, so it is just bare plastic.
2. Find how the camera is held together most often it is small plastic latches around the camera, which can be bent open with a screwdriver.
3. Open the camera, and be very careful not to touch any of the circuitry.
4. Carefully remove the AA battery.
5. Discharge any current still in the capacitor by bridging the two leads with a metal screwdriver.
6. The circuitry is now safe to handle, so remove it from the camera casing.

If you used rubber gloves it wouldn't hurt at all. I pressed the flash button b4 discharging it and it didn't hurt.

Step one: Get Camera
Step two: charge flash
Step three: rip camera open and expose electrical bits
Step four: chew on electrical bits
Step five: avoid procreation at all costs.

Seriously though, this is good stuff. We used to stuff the guts back in the camera after routing the "leads" up to the shutter button. Hand it off innocently to a friend to snap a quick pic of you and laugh as the shock the piss out of themselves. Its always better when your victims wounds are self inflicted hahaha

I already wasted two cameras and got shocked will somebody please make a detailed description of what i should take out, what i should keep in, where i need to connect the wires, and what i should keep for later

just rip open the camera, hit flash, stick the two prongs of the capacitor to someone, it's hurt about the same as one of those cheap shock pens. If you want twice as much power, take the capacitor out of another camera and connect it in PARALLEL (for resistors it's series). Just remember, 500 miliamps will be your "cause of death" if you're not careful about running the ends of your stun gun across someone's chest

What brand of disposable camera is that?

Should the camera have a flash or not? how about a disposable digital cam? I disassembled a camera without a flash a while back and it didn't have a battery or the circuitry a cam w/ flash has.

Don't use a screw driver you're fond of to discharge a cap. You would be surprised how much of the blade the arc can remove. Use a nail. And if you use a nail don't touch the metal can of the cap.

What brand of disposable camera did you use for this? I figure your instructions would be easier to follow if I worked with the same kind of camera that you used.
