    • 27% Team
    • 13% Theo
    • 14% Thomas

    The term Taser was initially “TASER,” abbreviating “Thomas A. Swift Electric Rifle” after the 1911 novel Tom Swift and His Electric Rifle. The acronym is trademarked but has become informally used to refer generically to similar devices. The Taser was first developed in the mid-1970s by American inventor Jack Cover. The hand-held device can be used to incapacitate a person by transmitting a 50,000-volt electric shock. The range extends from 15 feet for a non-law enforcement Taser to 35 feet for a law-enforcement model. A Taser fires two small barbed darts intended to penetrate clothing, puncture the skin and remain attached to the target. The darts are connected to the main unit by thin insulated copper wire and deliver a modulated electric current designed to disrupt voluntary control of muscles, causing temporary “neuromuscular incapacitation.”
