I'm confused -- was that a really long car commercial, or something else entirely?

Yes, both. :biggrin:

hey guys, know it's been a while but here's one i came across the other day....haven't been in the cellar lately so i don't know if it's old or not...but if your a pulp fiction fan you'll love this!

Pulp Hockey

In case you were wondering what this was like

Wow. Is the tazer actually shooting the wire out at the person? I always pictured those little arc-shaped things from the 80s that you had to physically reach out and touch the person with.

This is the new tazer gun, yes. It shoots two hooks on wires into the bad guy (or sometimes just out of control guy. I've had several patients tazered, and they weren't bad, just nuts) and then runs current through the wires.

There is a contact mode to the tazer gun I think, but it's safer for the user to shoot and let the device do the work.

I have a still picture of someone I know getting zapped, but it's somewhere in the morass of my hard drive.

Since I have dial-up at home I save the video clips to look at for work. If you go to the tazer site you can download a whole bunch of clips from there.

My two favorites are the drunk and domestic one and the bull.

I have read about a new prototype of taser that will project dual lines of plasma along which the current will flow...no wires.

Cool.

If we're thinking of the same thing, then it's a particle projector, a lighning gun so to speak. The laser lines up on the target, ionizing the particles in the air and creating a channel for the arc to follow. Not that I would know about such things...

Interesting...can you send me any more information about those things about which you do not know? :D

I thought the fact that it shot out the darts/wires, is what made a Taser a taser. I mean that's what separated it from the dozens of other electrical gizmos that will knock you down but require up close and personal contact.
The plasma lines would be an order of magnitude leap, if they will go through a chainlink fence and wind/strong draft. Maybe even reflect them off a plate glass window or mirror. :grinnylov

So what if one wore a suit of tinfoil? Would the taser find its shortest path of resistance and burn itself out?

I could, if I actually new of such a thing, but then I'd have withdraw one of the vans from Slang's neighborhood...
