Well, leg irons give that trusty clinkity-clank, as does the heavy leather belt with the cuffs attached--trussed up like a turkey & walking like one besides, all that leather & metal. But despite its modernistic approach--all that heavy denier and velcro--you can't beat the ol' stun belt. It just leaves them twitching on the courtroom floor.
