WARNING
Use care when applying a drive-stun to the neck or groin. These areas are sensitive to mechanical injury
(such as crushing to the trachea or testicles if applied forcefully). However, these areas have proven highly
effective targets. These areas should only be targeted when users are defending themselves from violent
attacks. Refer to your department’s policy regarding drive-stuns in these and other sensitive areas.
