An Electroshock weapon is a weapon used for subduing a person by administering electric shock that may disrupt superficial muscle functions.
INTRODUCTION
TASER is the acronym of Thomas A.Swifts Electronic rifle. These were first invented in the year 1969.
The basic principle of operation is based on the Ohms Law. Uses a temporary high-voltage low-current electrical discharge to override the body's muscle-triggering mechanisms. Applying electroshock devices to more sensitive parts of the body is more painful.
These were the first developed Tasers.These were not provided with probes.

Its not the voltage its the amperage that is dangerous Tasers use high voltage, but very low amperage

PROBE OF TASER
Contains a folded wire,
two mini
arrows with hooks at their ends and the wires attached to the rear ends
of the arrows
and a means for firing the arrows

Less risk of injury to law enforcement officers when subjects actively resist Less risk of injury or death to subjects from law enforcement use of force.
ADVANTAGES
These are mainly used as Self Defense Weapon. These are more safe than contact based self defense weapons. The subject is paralyzed in just five seconds after the trigger has been applied.
TASER EFFECTS
DISADVANTAGES OF TASER
TASER INJURIES
Stress fractures Muscle or tendon strain or tears Back injuries Joint injuries
TASER INJURIES
Due to arcing
CONCLUSION
Taser devices are the safest, most effective self defense technology available because it incapacitates the subject when used in probe mode while creating low probability of injury.
