BASIC M26 ELECTRICAL THEORY
Electricity must be able to flow between the probes or the electrodes.
Electricity generally follows the path of least resistance between the probes.
The greater the spread between the probes on the target, generally the greater the
NMI effectiveness.
Electricity generally will not pass to others in contact with the subject unless contact
is made directly between or on the probes.
Electricity can arc through clothing, and even some bullet-resistant materials.
Exposure to water will not cause electrocution or increase the power to the subject
(the electrical charge is fixed inside the TASER device, and will not increase significantly
even with environmental changes).
Modern pacemakers and implanted cardiac defibrillators withstand external electrical
defibrillators at least 800 times stronger than the TASER conducted energy pulses.
