The stun gun is designed to key into the nervous system. It dumps its energy into the muscles at a high pulse frequency that makes the muscles work very rapidly, but not efficiently.
This rapid work cycle depletes blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid all in just seconds.
The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. At the same time, the tiny neurological impulses that travel throughout the body to direct muscle movement are interrupted.
We started small. Garage-small. Just two brothers and an inventor fueled by the desire to make the world a safer place. And then we grew, with hard work and that samedrive, into an expansive technology company that delivers life-saving technology for self-defense and public safety.
Today, the TASER Self-Defense team is as passionate about saving lives as ever before. We believe in a world with less assaults, less violence, and less worry. One that's safer, bolder. Where anyone can live their life fearlessly. And we're dedicated to creating technology that can get us there.
