INTRODUCTION
TASER is the acronym of Thomas A.Swift’s Electronic rifle.
These were first invented in the year 1969.
These are effective “personal defense” weapons.
The basic principle is based on the Ohm’s Law.
An Electroshock weapon is a
weapon used for subduing a person by administering electric shock
that may disrupt
superficial muscle
functions.
BASIC PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The basic principle of operation is based on the Ohm’s Law.
Uses a temporary high-voltage low-current electrical discharge to override the body's muscle-triggering mechanisms.
Applying electroshock devices to more sensitive parts of the body is more painful.
The Ohm’s
Law states
that the
ratio of
voltage to
current is a
constant
called
Resistance.
These were
the first
developed
Tasers.These
were not
provided
with probes.

It’s not the voltage it’s the amperage that is dangerous
Tasers use high voltage, but very low amperage
M26: 3.6 milliamps (average current)
X26: 2.1 milliamps (average current)
TASERS USE ELECTRICITY
PROBE OF TASERContains a
folded wire,
two mini
arrows with
hooks at their
ends and the
wires
attached to
the rear ends
of the arrows
and a means
for firing the
arrows
PRINCIPLE OF PROBE
When fired,
the mini
arrows will be
launched and
if they hit a
target, they
will be
attached to
the target by
the hooks
while the
wires carry
the current
from the
weapon to
the target.
Aim like a standard firearm at center of mass
Use sights and/or laser
The spread is such that .3m for each feet.

Less risk of injury to law enforcement officers when subjects actively resist
Less risk of injury or death to subjects from law enforcement use of force.
ADVANTAGES OF THE TASER
ADVANTAGES
These are mainly used as Self Defense Weapon.
These are more safe than contact based self defense weapons.
The subject is paralyzed in just five seconds after the trigger has been applied.
TASER EFFECTS
High voltage affects nerves
Leads to intense muscle contraction
Does not affect muscles directly
DISADVANTAGES OF TASER
Tasers have caused injuries, but most Taser-related injuries are minor.
TASER INJURIES
Muscle Contraction Injuries
Stress fractures
Muscle or tendon strain or tears
Back injuries
Joint injuries
Injuries from Falls
May be serious depending on the height
TASER INJURIES
Minor Surface Burns
Due to arcing
Penetrating Eye Injuries
CONCLUSION
Taser devices are the safest, most effective self defense technology available because it incapacitates the subject when used in probe mode while creating low probability of injury.
