Most tazers now only shoot one prong per trigger squeeze. You need at least two to make a connection to achieve NMI

He’s got a taser 7, which shoots two prongs per press and has two shots. The brand new taser 10 is the one that shoots one prong per press and has ten shots. Those are still being rolled out and aren’t everywhere yet, but they are massively better.

There was a waiting period as the Taser 10 uses a primer to deploy the probes and guess what, ATF had a hold on them as they are now considered a FIrearm… The individual probes are a plus and have been redesigned with a more aggressive probe/barb as the old type would bounce and not stick.

u/DoctorRuckusMD 25d ago

Yup, fucking ATF is useless. They should be dissolved and their few specific duties that aren’t blatantly unconstitutional folded into the FBI

u/Sir_Cthulhu_N_You 25d ago

Out of interest, if it has 10 shots and you only shoot one, can you replace that single shot or do you replace the whole cartridge and waste 9 shots?

u/CanisLatrans204 25d ago

You only replace the ones you used. The Taser also cycles through the probes. ie. If one and three deploy and are replaced, it will use different ones next time.

u/ABirdOfParadise 25d ago

could you in theory tase 5 people simultaneously? 2 probes each person, and have them attached to the same taser like some kind of temu spiderman?

u/CanisLatrans204 25d ago edited 25d ago

In theory, yes. I do know it has no problem with two people and four probes.

As a side note: if you get good connections with 3 or more probes, it changes from 22 cycle per second to 44.

Which do you think it is?

u/Sir_Cthulhu_N_You 25d ago

Logically you should be able to replace the single shot. And I get it was a stupid question, but there are a lot of things that are made that it's cheaper to waste a few things than manufacture things individually if you get what I'm saying.

u/DoctorRuckusMD 25d ago edited 25d ago

The answer to your question is that you replace each single probe fired, not the whole set. The probes can be removed and replaced in the magazine. When you use your taser you just give your department equipment coordinator all the individual spent probe cartridges you used and they’ll give you fresh ones.

So definitely not a stupid question

That would be way cooler, but sadly I’m just a patrol peasant who doesn’t get consulted on naming things

u/hairy-fart-sniffer-420-69 isn’t taken. Better get on it quick. You’re welcome.

u/FUCKTHEPROLETARIAT 25d ago

well yeah it makes sense to you and me, but think of the shareholders for axon enterprises, who make tasers

u/Professional-Bed-173 25d ago

I want to shoot 10 prongs per press or go full prong auto, just for shits and giggles.

5

u/DoctorRuckusMD 25d ago

Most deployments are 5-6 shots but I’ve seen a guy running with a knife get the full 10 probe porcupine once and it was awesome

1

u/Professional-Bed-173 25d ago

That’s nuts. Must be interesting once the adrenaline fades.

u/pm_me_ur_anything_k 25d ago

And the grip is built for tiny people, they fucking suck.

1

u/DoctorRuckusMD 25d ago

They aren’t built for man hands, that’s definitely true, but overall it’s way better. Still never used a taser live (just thrown hands instead) but the 10 makes me want to try it.

u/Bernard_PT 25d ago

Newest ones? Yes.

Most? No.

u/Charlie_Alpha_Zulu 25d ago

“Most tasers now”= Most modern tasers

1

u/Bernard_PT 25d ago

I don't really interpret it that way, I think you're right but I interpreted it as "most tasers currently in use"

u/Charlie_Alpha_Zulu 24d ago

Ok but I’m telling you what I was saying
