I want to run a stun gun arc from the box about 25 feet. What would be the
best wire to use?


Homebrew open wire feed-line.
For 50 KV (plus 100% margin) you need ~1.3" of air separation between
conductors. Chop up and 'through drill' some plastic rod into 2" long
spacers to put at 3" intervals to hold the wires apart.


IMHO, it would be better to put the stun gun at the intended area and
the wiring to -control- it running the 25 feet to the trigger area.
