Crafting the perfect shock

Article Abstract:

Tasers operates at 19 pulses per second which is far enough from the tetanus region to allow the skeletal muscles to contract without causing any major damage. The Taser's average current of 1.9 mA is only 1 percent of the required power to cause the heart of the typical male to fibrillate so it's far from the danger zone for healthy human hearts.
