HOW DOES AN AIR TASER FUNCTION?
Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two probes 15 feet at a speed of 180 feet per second. 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. It uses an automatic timing mechanism to apply the electric charge. The TASER releases an electric current in a pre-set time sequence of 5 seconds. This cycle ensures that the nervous system of the target does not recover instantly to allow him to remove the probes. If you are a law official, this gives you a chance to place the target under custody. If you are a citizen, simply pull the gun back, run, then call the police. It is highly unlikely the assailant will be able to walk, much less run after you.
