My friend bought a nerf gun with a new mega bullet. It looks like I would be able to fit a photo capacitor in it that I harvested from some disposable cameras. It seems like it would be a fun project and I would only shoot my friends with it who have no heart conditions or electrical implants. Is this safe to do in dry conditions. The leads that would apply the shock would be right next to each other so there isn't a path across the chest. I would probably be using a modified version of this cap charger I found on instructables http://www.instructables.com/id/Capacitor-Charger/?ALLSTEPS to charge the bullets.

 

The energy stored in a flash capacitor, together with the high voltage, are enough to KILL someone. Don't do it.

 

Getting smacked up by one of your friends who you thought was cool but turned out to be that one guy in two who hates being shocked?
Or finding out that he lied about not having a weak heart?
Lots of possibilities.

Alright though what makes it that different from a
one shot teaser?

Not much -- and one or two dozen people die from being tasered every year.
