Back in college a friend of mine had a tazer that he used to whip out when we played drinking games involving a deck of cards (Picking a certain card, etc. got you zapped). I don't remember how strong it was, but it gave you a pretty good jolt without knocking you down or leaving marks. Hurt like hell, but after so many drinks it turned into a tingling sensation.
Well I have been OCed twice, and that sucked!! It felt like a hot iron was being held to my face and it wouldn't go away, I would rather be beat with a baton or tasered any day lol!!
So there would be no effect at all... ie.the person would not be 'tazed'.Roger Lesboules wrote:
Humm i don't even think that the amperage is low in tazer...From what ive heard its only volts and no amp at all...so no risk to kill the dude...but he wont be fucking with you for long!

Principles of operation
Electroshock weapon technology uses a temporary high-voltage low-current electrical discharge to override the body's superficial muscle-triggering mechanisms. The recipient is immobilized via two metal probes (darts) connected via metal wires from the electroshock gun usually penetrating the human skin, and superficial muscle. The recipient that is 'connected' to an electroshock gun feels great pain and can be momentarily paralyzed (only so long as there is an electrical current being applied) because his muscles are receiving electrical 'shock'. The (relatively) low electric current must be pushed by (relatively) high voltage to overcome the electrical resistance of the human body. The resultant 'shock' is caused by muscles twitching uncontrollably, appearing as muscle spasms. However, because the amount of current is relatively low, there is considered to be a 'margin' of safety by a number of medical experts. Experts generally agree that this margin is highly dependent on the overall health of the person subjected to the shock.
In current electroshock weapon models, the current is relatively low (2.1 mA to 3.6 mA) which is based in part on the electrical supply, (for example M-26 Taser models use eight AA batteries). Electrical current above 10 mA at 60Hz AC is considered to be potentially lethal to humans, though not all electroshock weapons pulse the current at 60 Hz.
The internal circuits of most electroshock weapons are fairly simple, either based on an oscillator, resonant circuit and step-up transformer or diode-capacitor voltage multipliers to achieve the continuous, direct or alternating high-voltage discharge may be powered by one or more 9 V battery depending on manufacturer, and model. The output voltages without external "load" (which would be the target's body) are claimed to be in the range of 50 kV up to 900 kV, with the most common being in the 200 to 300 kV range. However since air has a dielectric breakdown (Emax) of 3000000 V/m, it is clear that the spacing of the electrodes will not permit the upper range of claimed voltages (900kV representing a minimum electrode spacing of about 30cm). The output current upon contact with the target will depend on various factors such as target's resistance, skin type, moisture, bodily salinity, clothing, the electroshock weapon's internal circuitry and battery conditions.
According to the many sources, a shock of half a second duration will cause intense pain and muscle contractions startling most people greatly. Two to three seconds will often cause the subject to become dazed and drop to the ground, and over three seconds will usually completely disorient and drop an attacker for at least several seconds and possibly for up to fifteen minutes.[citation needed]

All volts and no amps? Umm dude, I take it you've never done even the most basic amounts of physics, cause that's impossible. Oh, and 'amperage' is called current.Roger Lesboules wrote:

60 milliamps is fatal for a couple second duration. that's right, 0.06 amps will kill you. Keep in mind that voltage and amperage are inverse to one another (V=IR anyone?). So 900,000 volts doesn't kill you(because of the low amperage), but it'll fuck you up real bad.
