Hi Mad Dog,
Welcome to our forum. ;D
You have the weak electronic circuit from a disposable camera's flash, not a powerful circuit for a stun gun. Now its weak oscillator slowly charges its high voltage capacitor, it makes a single spark then charges the capacitor slowly again.

I have never seen a disposable camera's flash circuit but guess it flashes every 15 seconds. So for sparks to appear continuous the power needs to be 150 times higher (10 sparks per second).
The circuit needs a complete re-design to boost its power 150 times.

Yes that correct, because i'm only new to electronics can you please explain how i can change the circut so i get more power from the whole thing?

A stun gun is a weapon. I won't show anybody how to make a weapon.

People are killed from the high power of stun guns. Make something peaceful.

Note that stun guns do not harm people. This can only be done by an idiot who gets his hands on one. Stun guns have no intentions at all.
Take care with this project, Mad_dog. You are playing with high voltage. Be responsible.

;D Stun guns are supposed to “stun”, this camera circuit is way too lame to do any harm so don’t worry!

[glow=green,2,300]Wow, as soon as I learn schematics, this (http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/circ/hv/stungun/stungun.html) is definately going to have to be one of my projects.  Though I think I'll start with Mad_Dog's more playful gun first.  His isn't dangerous, me and a friend spent out freshman math class taking turns zapping ourselves with one.  It does feel uncomfortable, but isn't dangerous.[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]Okay Mad Dog, I'm having a problem now.  Out of boredom, on the way home I was taking pictures, which activated the flash.  So, I remove the battery and start working on it.  So far, so good, except, even without the battery, it won't stop ZAPPING ME.  Is there anyway for me to drain what's left of the charge without continually zapping myself?  I don't like being zapped...[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]Woops... this was probably stupid to do, but I managed to get all the charge out... I connected a piece of metal across and there was a bright flash.  Now there's no charge, did I break it?[/glow]

[glow=green,3,600]Okay, nevermind my stupid comment (I haven't gotten any replies when I ask stupid questions), so hopefully this one will sound more intelligent. How am I supposed to keep the battery connected to the back? [/glow]
