Taser is a brand name, and it is not the voltage, its the frequency and amperage- it at this point takes something more sophisticated than a stun gun to stop someone reliably without killing them- too much amperage or wrong frequency = dead guy- other firms are working on stuff that works like a taser for reasonable prices (tasers are running at $400.00 + ) and taser has recently brought out a cheaper civi model that is, I believe, under 4 bills- There are only two real problems with a taser right now, 1- ONE SHOT and then you are down to using it as a hand to hand weapon, which works no where near as well, 2- 15 foot range in the civi model, 21 on the leo model- not anywhere near as far as I would like........ other firms are bringing out taser like items with more shots and range, and there is even one on the board that uses ionized streams to deliver volts (hello Phasers) but nothing solid yet......
