GK, I assume 'stun gun modules' refer to these dime-a-dozen HV charge pump circuits that you can find everywhere online, usually for under $5.00/ea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTx8pMHo4jIhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B09724L5VK (one of the many random sources) The full teardown and characterization of the modules in the video will help us a lot when making simulations and designing test/tuning protocols. Usually they are rated up to around 40-70kv intermittent duty, though I've found they energize around 1v with significantly lower output.
As a small note/tip for using gas discharge tube (GDT's) as a 'spark gap' -> I have found that GDT's tend to ionize somewhere around 2x their rated voltage. So a 200v GDT will actually trigger somewhere around 400v, and a 1kv GDT will tend to trigger around 2kv, and so on. Like spark gaps, they tend to be very noisey compared to solid-state snubbers, with irregular trigger voltages and lots of weird harmonics, which in this case may actually be desirable, or even necessary..
