  1. Most built-in flash light in a camera (flash tube less than 1 inch) produces about 150 volts DC and it charges to a capacitor to keep enough power to fire the flash tube. If you have two these flash lights,you need to connect the 150 volts DC output in series to obtain 300 volts or more. This energy is good enough to give a good shock if the person touches both output with both hand. But it shall not get the same result as a stun gun that generate thousand volts.

    The 300 volts DC source shall not able to penetrate clothing even a sheet of paper,but the stun gun can.

    The 300 volts DC generates from the flash light shall not kill you,but it gets a very bad feeling. Your hands will shake away as soon as you touching it (this is our human mind self-defend reaction).

    Warning: The professional type fast charge flash light generate 400 Volts and feeds to a much larger capacitor. It is not safe to touch it with both hands.


  2. No, it is not safe.

    This will generate a voltage of 400 volts. Current in the human body varies a lot with skin resistance, humidity, and most important, where on the body the two contacts are made.

    Since all these variables are impossible to calculate, various regulatory agencies have set limits of 40 volts or so and about 10ma for safety.

    Your device will produce 400 volts, well over the 40 volts. Currents can be very high, as the capacitors will hold a lot of charge. If you connected an instantaneous reading ammeter and shorted the caps with it, you would see a peak current of many amps, limited only by the internal resistance of the caps and of your wires.

    So yes, this is dangerous, lethal, and if someone died or is injured, you may spend a few years in jail. Or you could die.
