Stun Gun Specs

help with a homemade stun gun?
I built a stun gun out of a camera and it works fantastically. the only problem is that i don't want to use it as a weapon, i want it for a toy to shock my friends, and right now its way to powerful. i would like to cut the power in half by swapping out the capacitor for a smaller one. The current capacitor is "120 uF & 330 Volts" I would like to cut that power in half.
1.) WHAT WOULD BE THE SPECS FOR A CAPACITOR THAT DELIVERS HALF THAT POWER?
2.) IS THERE AN EASIER WAY TO CUT THE POWER IN HALF THAN SWAPPING OUT THE CAPACITOR? IF SO, HOW DO I DO IT?
Please be specific. I don't have much experience with this stuff, so the more direct and specific the better.
Thank You
The stored energy is proportional to the capacitance. So a 60 uF 330 v capacitor would give half the stored energy. You can't drop the voltage rating of the capacitor because you are not changing the voltage the circuit produces.
Any other change that you make will be more complicated than changing the capacitor. You will probably find that it is still too potent at half. Try keeping the unit as is but add a resistor in series with the output as large as you can get (at least 10 Megohms) and a very small capacitor say 0.001 uF and see how that works rather than trying to replace the capacitor inside the unit each time.

Cell Phone Stun Gun $87 The is one of the most powerful stun gun options available that is simple to use and reliable. Disguised as a cell phone, the cell phone stun gun is one of the most powerful stun guns available. People usually think it is the high voltage of stun guns that stops an attacker. Not true. Voltage doesn't hurt anyone...it's amperage. One amp will kill someone. Our stun guns only have between 5-8 milliamps. Just enough to incapacitate an attacker without doing any permanent damage. They are a completely non-lethal way to protect yourself. 4.5 million volt cell phone stun gun Available in Black or Pink Bright 12 LED Flashlight FREE Batteries FREE Leatherette Holster with Belt Clip *NOTE: BY LAW, WE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO SHIP THIS ITEM TO THE FOLLOWING STATES OR DISTRICTS: District of Columbia, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Wisconsin or outside the United States.
