The Taser

[slipknotpsycho]

wouldn't 900,000 volts be enough to kill someone? i know it goes by amperage, but some of it atleast has to be based on the volts produced right? i only wonder this cuz i grew up thinking if you stuck a paper clip into a 220 outlet you could be killed, but here are these machines that are meant to shock a person and produce 100,000's of volts...

I like water guns myself . I've never had the joy of dealing with cops.

It is the amperage that kills. With a stun gun the higher the voltage the more of an effect it has. The 50,000V is labled to disorientate the individual when hit for 3 sec while my model lays em' out. The only REAL fear of death is when the person has a pacemaker. Here's an e-bay link........LOL, guess they got 1,000,000V now. It's listed as a police issue but the cops don't use stun guns and DEFINATELY not one of this power. All the cops have the 50,000V because of the pacemaker issue.

Tasers and stun guns both have advantages and disadvantages:

Taser:
Able to shoot from a distance +
After hitting target it will give a jolt on a timed out system so you can get away +
Low power -
When you fire it shoots hundreds of I.D. markers -

Stun Gun:
High power ++
MUST be close range -
NO I.D. markers.....wasn't me....++

The type the cops have has an interchangeagle head that will convert from taser to stun gun.....but it still only packs 50,000V.

LMAO.....I saw that on T.V. In order to graduate from this cop training they first have to take a hit from a taser. The trainer didn't compensate for the 15 degree drop from the site and the dude was hit right in the nuts. LOL...the cop that shot it off was laughing so hard he forgot to turn off the gun so it kept on giving extra zaps like in 10 sec. intervals......Hilarious!!!

I've never had any fleeing experience with the police, but I base my preference to be tasered on a different sort of experience with police-grade pepper spray. I was standing with a group of cops in the back of a county courtroom one afternoon (this was when I was employed by the fire department as a paramedic). We were all waiting to testify in a case about a car accident we'd worked. One of the stupidest of the cops, at the request of a bystander to see if he was carrying real pepper spray, pulled his canister off his belt and sprayed a blast of it into a trash can we were all standing nearby. I and one other paramedic took the hardest hit of it because we were closest to the trash can and got some of the backsplash spray droplets, and I've never felt anything more miserable. It was like being on fire.

They ended up adjourning early for that day to clear the courtroom, which filled with fumes and had to be quickly evacuated. The cop got a 21-day reprimand (unpaid time off) and then was fired after he came back and his actions were reviewed by the review board. My partner medic and I had to be taken back to the fire station and be washed off by our colleagues and then given oxygen, which didn't help the burning lungs much.

I have had a unique fear of pepper spray ever since. And of stupid cops, too.

i had in my possesion at one time pepper spray... i sprayed a fake santa clause (this was when i was 10 or younger) and didn't get any mist or anything in my eyes... i don't understand how some times there's backspray and eveyroen gets hit, but other times, no one, other then the intended target gets hit... is it the way they're made or what?

oh yeah, like a dumb ass i tasted that pepper spray once... i really don't think i would want to take that shit in the eyes.. lol..
