Taser Guns nothing like it in Protection

Protecting oneself has definitely become a priority in today’s society. We must protect you and one’s family from any surprise attacks. There are now a variety of choices for self defense weapons available to the general public for this reason and the one that stands out is the TASER device.


A TASER uses electricity and when used against someone it shocks the neuromuscular system. The shock of the TASER interrupts the muscle movement and forces them to contract uncontrollably. This in turn will force the attacker stumble and fall to the ground. The TASER® provides a safe distance of up to 15 feet of a potential attacker and can also be used as a backup stun device in the event you should miss the attacker while firing. These devices are not fatal and will not cause any permanent damage.

At one point the TASER was only used by law enforcement agencies and has now become available to the general public for private use. The TASER is available in three different styles and affordability. Law enforcement diligently continues to use this wonder device to apprehend criminals and runners; however for civilians the rules of owning one are slightly stricter. In some states an individual is not allowed to carry a TASER gun.

Anyone who wishes to purchase a TASER must go through a background check through TASER International. The gun will not work until this background check has been done and approved. TASER International will activate your device at that time. For this reason it is VERY IMPORTANT that you are capable of passing this background check prior to purchasing a TASER gun.

Always make sure when purchasing a TASER or any other self defense weapon, check with your local authorities on what the laws are in your state.

TASER How Do They Work?

Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two TASER probes 15 feet at a speed of 135 feet per second. An electrical signal transmits throughout the area 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. AIR TASER uses an automatic timing mechanism to apply the electric charge. The TASER releases an electric current in a pre-set time sequence (an initial seven seconds followed by several 1.8 second breaks for a total time of about 30 seconds in each cycle). This cycle ensures that the nervous system of the attacker does not recover instantly to allow him to remove the probes. The follow-on bursts disrupt the process of re-equilibration of the nervous system. While the target is disabled, the user can place the device on the ground and escape.


Is High Voltage Lethal?



Someone can receive a 25,000-volt shock of static electricity from a doorknob on a dry day without harm. Typical household current of 110 volts is dangerous because it can pump many amperes of current throughout the body indefinitely. The AIR TASER power supply consists of an alkaline 9-Volt battery that is capable of supplying less than three watts of electrical power for a few minutes.


Any after affects?



A person hit with an AIR TASER will feel dazed for several minutes. The pulsating electrical output causes involuntary muscle contractions and results in a sense of vertigo. It can momentarily stun or render an attacker unconscious. Yet, the AIR TASER’s low electrical amperage and short duration of pulsating current, ensures a non-lethal charge. It does not cause permanent damage or long-term after affects to muscles, nerves or other body functions.



Probes Miss?



The AIR TASER can be used in a touch-stun mode. The user is provided with a final backup if the probes miss the target. Should the user miss or engage a second attacker, he can touch the unit directly to the attacker and it will work like a powerful touch-stun device.



Best Shot at Maximum Range?



As long as the spread of the probes is at least six inches, the TASER will be extremely effective. To ensure that the spread is greater than six inches, the TASER should be fired at a target several feet away. The optimum shot is from seven to ten feet away from the target to achieve maximum effect. At seven to ten feet away - the spread of the probes will be approximately 16 inches, ensuring that the attacker receives the most efficient T-Wave flow.
