Traditional
stun technology weapons operate in a 7-14 watt range and
interfere with the communication signals within the nervous system of the
target. However there is a small percentage of people with an extremely high
tolerance for electrical stimulation and are actually able to fight through the
effect of the 7-14 watt systems.
However Taser
Gun's and EMD weapons (Electro-Muscular Disruption) are more
powerful and use an 18-26 watt electrical signal to completely override the
central nervous system and directly control the skeletal muscles. In recent
police studies, the Advanced Taser Systems have a higher instant incapacitation
rate than that of a 9mm hand gun. Advanced Taser's and EMD weapons are
specifically designed to stop even the most elite, aggressive combatants. Rather
than simply interfering with the communication between the brain and muscles
like stun-guns, these systems directly tell the muscles what to do: contract
until the target is in the fetal position on the ground. The Taser's you will
find on this site are the 15-foot range civilian versions. IT is illegal to
carry the 21-foot range police edition.
Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two
Taser probes 15 or 21 feet (depending on cartridge) at a speed of 180 feet per second. The probes are connected by thin insulated wire back to the
unit. An electrical signal transmits throughout the region where the probes make contact with the body or clothing. The result is
an instant loss of the attacker’s
neuromuscular control and any ability to
perform coordinated action. The Taser's
also use an automatic timing mechanism
to apply the electric charge for 5
seconds. Taser devices are not considered
firearms and they can be legally carried (concealed or open) without permit. |
