Stun guns and tasers made in Russia can be purchased for self-defense without special permission, however, under the Federal Law No. 150 "On Weapons" of the Russian Federation it's illegal to import and subsequent sale of any foreign stun devices or tasers into the country.

Cross-sectional diagram of the "Incapacitator", from a DHS newsletter [1]. A light emitting diode (LED) incapacitator is a weapon designed like a flashlight.It emits an extremely bright, rapid, and well-focused series of "differently-colored random pulses".
A tactical light mounted to the bottom rail of a rifle Tactical light and a target in a low-light environment. A tactical light or weapon light is a flashlight used in conjunction with a firearm to aid low-light target identification, allowing the user to simultaneously aim a weapon and illuminate the target.
According to a press report, the jury "found that Arizona-based stun-gun manufacturer Taser International should have more effectively warned police that Taser shocks were potentially dangerous." [82] July 22, 2008, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, a 17-year old aboriginal teen died after being tasered during a standoff. The teen was carrying a ...
Law enforcement officers often deliberately shine flashlight beams into the eyes of suspects at night to cause temporary night-blindness as a preemptive defensive measure, whether or not the individual is likely to behave violently. The weight of a flashlight makes it a clumsy baton, unable to be swung swiftly.
Another defense is photochromic materials able to become opaque under high light energy densities. Nonlinear optics techniques are being investigated: e.g. vanadium-doped zinc telluride (V:ZnTe) can be used to form electro-optic power limiters able to selectively block the intense dazzler beam without affecting weaker light from an observed scene.
The picana is a hybrid electroshock weapon adapted from the electric cattle prod, the precursor for today's stun guns.Originally cattle prods were devices developed for use as a goad in animal slaughterhouses, but later were used on humans as torture devices intended to exact pain and incapacitate a person.
