Would someone please tell me 1. Can the taser gun devices be used in wet weather conditions? What kind of power cell are used in the taser guns? Thank you in advance, Ubba. Tags: None. Yes the Taser can be used in wet weather conditions. It can even be used if the person and you are in water. The Taser uses a lithium power cell. Comment Post Cancel. Underwater is an amazing feature. Don't know when that situation could occur but still a neat feature.
I have read on a couple places and seen photos where the taser can be 1 or 2 shots before I am guessing it needs to be reset. What is the maximum number of times the Taser can be shot? And does the battery get charged in the car?
Thanks again for the help in my research. I can't speak on the M, but my agency uses the X Xs takes a proprietary power magazine battery that must be replaced, not recharged.
The power magazine contains a chip that tracks every pull of the trigger and can be uploaded to a computer for use as evidence. In training they talk about an Alaska trooper that restrained a suspect for 45 minutes while waiting for backup to arrive. What I'm seeing is that badguys know what they are now, and generally won't give you as much trouble once they see you have one on the belt.
I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within. Douglas MacArthur. The taser is an exceptional tool for law enforcement. As stated earlier it can be used on subjects in water. The following states are illegal to own or posses a stun gun: Hawaii, Rhode Island, and U. Virgin Islands. All the available energy is being discharged into his body. The stun gun cannot be damaged by the continuous firing into an assailant.
The TASER device is a less-lethal, not non-lethal, weapon, since the possibility of serious injury or death exists whenever the weapon is deployed.

Can you touch a person being tased? Can you resist a taser? Do Tasers go through clothes? The impulse travels to muscles and causes short, sustained muscle contractions. The taser has two modes: the first, pulse mode, causes neuromuscular incapacitation as the neural signals that control muscles become uncoordinated, and muscles contract at random. The second mode, drive-stun, uses pain to get compliance. The current -- either direct, DC, or alternating, AC -- is the rate at which electrons going down a wire travel per second.
Alternating current is what is typically used in wall sockets and it's more dangerous, according to the Journal of the American Medical Association, causing more extreme muscle contraction. An ampere, or amp, is the unit used to measure current. A small current -- microamps —- applied directly to the heart can cause a fatal rhythm called ventricular fibrillation. Humans have protective mechanisms: The skin, which provides high resistance to electricity, and soft tissue, which surrounds muscles and organs like the heart, also reduce the current.
For example, a current applied to the arm will be reduced to. TASERs have a 2 milliamp current and it takes at least 1, milliamps -- 1 amp -- to injure muscles, nerves and the heart. Higher amps, starting at 10, milliamps or 10 amps, cause the heart to stop and produce severe burns, according to the U.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. TASERs cause muscle contractions, but do not appear to trigger the release of the muscle enzyme associated with muscle cell damage -- creatine kinase.
