The Stun Gun That Solves the Heavy Clothing Problem
Here’s the reality most stun gun manufacturers don’t talk about: thick jackets, hoodies, and layered clothing can reduce the effectiveness of stun gun contact. The electrodes need to get close to skin to deliver the full charge. The Spike stun gun addresses this directly with two sharp spikes built into the electrode end. Those spikes dig through heavy fabric to get the electrodes closer to skin contact. And even without the stun function, two sharp metal spikes are a striking deterrent on their own.
Who This Stun Gun Is For
People who live in cold climates where attackers are likely to be wearing heavy clothing. Anyone who’s thought about the thick-clothing problem with standard stun guns. Security professionals who want a dual-purpose tool that stuns and strikes. People who want an aggressive-looking deterrent — the spikes make a visual statement before you even activate the stun.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Spike if you want:
- Spikes that penetrate heavy clothing for better stun contact
- A dual-function tool — stun gun plus striking spikes
- A visually intimidating deterrent that backs it up with 65 million volts
Consider something else if you need:
- Higher voltage — the Master Blaster and Hot Shot deliver more
- A built-in flashlight — the Spike focuses on stun and strike functions
Two Functions, One End
The spikes serve double duty. First, they help the stun electrodes make better contact through clothing — the spikes push through fabric layers so the electrical charge reaches closer to skin. Second, the spikes themselves are a striking tool. Aimed at soft tissue — hands, arms, face — they create pain and injury on contact, with or without the electrical charge. If the stun function ever failed, you’d still have two sharp metal points to work with.
This makes the Spike uniquely versatile. In warm weather, it’s a standard stun gun. In cold weather when everyone’s layered up, the spikes give you an advantage other stun guns don’t have. Year-round, the spikes add a physical deterrent that’s immediately visible to anyone thinking about getting too close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the spikes really go through a heavy jacket?
The spikes are designed to push through layered fabric to improve electrode contact. On a thick winter coat, they’ll compress and penetrate several layers. On lighter clothing like hoodies or denim, they’ll get through to skin. They won’t go through Kevlar or body armor, but for typical street clothing, they’re effective.
Are the spikes dangerous to the user?
The spikes are on the electrode end — the opposite end from where your hand grips. During normal handling and holster carry, the spikes point away from you. The nylon holster covers them when not in use. Handle it like any sharp tool and you’re fine.
Why is the voltage lower than other models?
At 65 million volts, it’s lower than the 90-95 million range of the top models, but still very much in the effective defensive range. The Spike compensates with better physical contact through the spike design. A lower voltage that actually reaches skin is more effective than a higher voltage that can’t get through a coat.
