  • Londons Metropolitan Police train to use Taser stun guns.
    DUKAS_23843247_EYE
    Londons Metropolitan Police train to use Taser stun guns.
    The Metropolitan Police's Territorial Support Group. Sgt Alun Jones demonstrates a Taser.
    The Taser is an electroshock weapon that uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles. Its manufacturer, Taser International, calls the effects "neuromuscular incapacitation" and the devices' mechanism "Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology". Someone struck by a Taser experiences stimulation of his / her sensory nerves and motor nerves, resulting in strong involuntary muscle contractions.There are two main police models, the M26 and X26. Taser International is also marketing a civilian model called the C2. Tasers were introduced as less-lethal weapons to be used by police to subdue fleeing, belligerent, or potentially dangerous subjects. The use of Tasers has become controversial following instances of Taser use that have resulted in serious injury and death,and while they are far less lethal than many other weapons, the U.N. are concerned that use of Tasers may amount to torture, and Amnesty International has reported cases where they believe that their use amounted to "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment which is absolutely prohibited under international law".
