- The Taser X26 is reported to be used by over 30% of police agencies in the United States.
- An average Taser device can emit a 50,000-volt electric shock. In comparison, a device in emergency rooms to shock hearts back to life starts at around 300 volts.
- A shock of half a second duration will cause intense pain and muscle contractions, knocking most people to the ground.
- Two to three seconds of the shock will often cause the subject to become dazed and drop to the ground. More than three seconds of exposure usually disorient a person and cause him or her to drop to the ground for at least several seconds.
- Taser International Inc., the company that makes the device, warns law enforcement agencies that “prolonged or continuous exposure” to the shock may lead to medical risks such as cumulative exhaustion and breathing impairment and even heart damage.
