To parrot the others, unless modified a 12 volt car battery only works as a torture device if you drop it on someone's head or pour out the acid on someone.
A coil could indeed make life a bit more uncomfortable, but I've been shocked by a 50,000 volt coil(tried to move a wire on my race car while testing compression) and while it would suck to be subjected by repeated shockings, it's not really that bad. 220V AC is much more disabling...I've been whacked by that before as well as someone had left one leg grounded against a case and I opened the case and was glued to it for several seconds. Gave new meaning to "seeing stars"
