50,000 volts in fast motion: how a taser affects a person
“You run through the forest, the branches are whipped across the face, legs are flexing, clinging to the protruding roots of the hilt — and a quadrocopter is approaching at a height of three meters from the back. The robot is patiently waiting for the right moment to aim and shoot you in the back with an electric discharge from a police taser, ”- this is how alizar ’s article begins that North Dakota became the first US state to allow non-lethal weapons to use on unmanned police.
How does it feel to feel fifty thousand volts? The volunteer experienced the action of a police taser so that we could look at it in an accelerated filming.
The pain begins with multi-colored confetti.

The youtube-channel team The Slow Mo Guys found a volunteer who agreed to try out for himself all the charms of a non-lethal police gun — a taser, an electroshock operating several meters away. The technology used in the Taser is designed to minimize injury and death in the detention of the offender.
Shooting speed - twenty eight and a half thousand frames per second
At the moment of the Taser shot, we see pink and yellow confetti. They are not needed for laughter. If you have once fired at clapping houses, you should know that it is very difficult to get rid of confetti, and sometimes they are in unexpected places six months after the New Year, including at home for people who were with you on holiday. Each circle contains a unique serial number that allows the police to determine which device was used at the crime scene.
The frames show how the contacts penetrate through the skin in order to conduct a current of fifty thousand volts through the human body. “I thought it would never end. It was a long five seconds, ”Dan said after recovering from the shock. Dan Hafen works for the camera maker Phantom v2511, which The Slow Mo Guys use for shooting.
Dan added that he did not feel the probes themselves, but immediately felt the contraction of the muscles.

The Taser X26 uses compressed nitrogen to send two small probes five meters away at a speed of about fifty-five meters per second. The probes are connected to a stun gun with the help of wires. A 26-watt electric charge with a voltage of 50,000 volts will be enough to neutralize the “biggest attacker, ” the manufacturer writes . The victim (or rather, the attacker) immediately loses the ability to coordinate actions - neuromuscular control disappears.
"Harpoon" in the body.
The taser is considered a non-lethal weapon, but according to the American Civil Liberties Union, since 2001, more than five hundred people have died in the United States after law enforcement officers applied a stun gun to them.
In 2000, in the United States, 7% of police departments had tasers; by 2013, they had equipped 80% of the sites. New York police will spend four and a half million to buy officers for tasers.
