How fast can you get back into combat after being hit by TASER?
Published: February 13th, 2009
Pretty quickly it turns out. James Yeager TASERed three of his students to find out. They had to complete a simple course of fire as fast as possible after being zapped. The first two guys did very well. The last guy was definitely a little shaken.

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

There *IS* one thing the civilian TASERS have that law enforcement versions do not.
I have heard that the C2 model comes with an MP3 player in the handle!

I was tased as part of Police Explorer's and everything i learned from that experience is that the taser itself was not designed to keep you down after it has been used, it was designed to stop you in your tracks and give the user time to either get away or subdue the individual. In my opinion, this makes it a much for effective weapon in an "up to the minute" media driven world.
