Shocking Video II

In this follow up video, we test the effect of a civilian taser model which, like the police version, fires two electrically wired darts that deliver 50,000 volts of electricity.

The civilian model is similar to what police have, with this key difference: Pulling the trigger on the police version provides a five-second stun. The civilian trigger starts at 10 seconds and can be squeezed several times continuously to get a maximum 30 seconds.

The rationale? Five seconds is enough for police to subdue a suspect, said a company spokesman, but civilians need a 30-second shock to allow time to escape a dangerous situation by shooting the Taser and running away.
