The gun operates based on the concept of delayed auditory feedback. An attached microphone picks up the sound being made by the target and plays it back 0.2 seconds later. The effect is incredibly confusing to the human brain, making it all but impossible to talk or hold a conversation. The device doesn't cause the person it's being used on any physical harm — it simply messes with their head.

once in a blue moon my phone has done this to me. I can affirm that it's impossible to talk when it happens. I think they tapped my phone in order to test the concept.

I had a friend who posted that he would use this on me to shut me up. I just replied with this:

Want me to be even more annoying and just make random techno beats? And just out of spite, I'd make dolphin noises while scratching my finger nails on a chalk board...
