In 1999, TASER International developed an "ergonomically handgun-shaped device called the Advanced TASER M-series systems", which used a "patented neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) technology". firearms regulator, the ATF, stated that the Air TASER conducted energy device was not a firearm.
#TAZER PULSE SERIAL NUMBER#
The 1994 Air TASER Model 34000 conducted energy device had an "anti- felon identification (AFID) system" to prevent the likelihood that the device would be used by criminals upon use, it released many small pieces of paper containing the serial number of the TASER device. At their Scottsdale, Arizona, facilities, the brothers worked with Cover to develop a "non-firearm TASER electronic control device". In 1993, Rick Smith and his brother Thomas founded the original company, TASER, and began to investigate what they called "safer use of force option for citizens and law enforcement". įormer TASER International CEO Patrick Smith testified in a TASER-related lawsuit that the catalyst for the development of the device was the "shooting death of two of his high school acquaintances" by a "guy with a legally licensed gun who lost his temper". The first Taser model that was offered for sale, called the TASER Public Defender used gunpowder as its propellant, which led the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to classify it as a firearm in 1976. By 1974, Cover had completed the device, which he named TASER, using a loose acronym of the title of the book Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle, a book written by the Stratemeyer Syndicate under the pseudonym Victor Appleton and featuring Cover's childhood hero, Tom Swift. Jack Cover, a NASA researcher, began developing the first Taser in 1969. However, when police combined conducted electrical weapons with use of other weapons, officers were four or five times more likely to be injured than when using a baton or chemical spray. A more recent academic study suggested police use of conducted electrical weapons in the United States was less risky to police officers than hands-on tactics, and showed officer injury rates equal to use of chemical sprays such as oleoresin capsicum. TASER International and its CEO Rick Smith have claimed that unspecified "police surveys" show that the device has "saved 75,000 lives through 2011". There has been some controversy attending its use on children, and as to whether it constitutes a form of torture.Ī 2009 report by the Police Executive Research Forum in the United States found that police officer injuries dropped by 76% in large law enforcement agencies that deployed taser devices in the first decade of the 21st century compared with those that did not use them at all. As of 2010, according to one study, over 15,000 law enforcement and military agencies around the world used tasers as part of their use of force continuum. The first taser conducted energy weapon was introduced in 1993 as a less-lethal force option for police to use to subdue fleeing, belligerent, or potentially dangerous people, who would have otherwise been subjected to more lethal force options such as firearms. At least 49 people died in the US in 2018 after being shocked by police with a Taser. Tasers are marketed as less-lethal, since the possibility of serious injury or death exists whenever the weapon is deployed. The effects of a taser may only be localised pain or strong involuntary long muscle contractions, based on the mode of use and connectivity of the darts. The darts are connected to the main unit by thin insulated copper wire and deliver a modulated electric current designed to disrupt voluntary control of muscles, causing " neuromuscular incapacitation". Their range extends from 4.5 m (15 ft) for non-Law Enforcement Tasers to 10.5 m (34 ft) for LE Tasers.

It fires two small barbed darts intended to puncture the skin and remain attached to the target, at 55 m/s (120 mph 200 km/h). It is sold by Axon, formerly TASER International. Raysun X-1, a multi-purpose handheld weaponĪ taser is an electroshock weapon used to incapacitate people allowing them to be approached and handled in an unresisting and thus safe manner.
