Re: TASERS - More dangerous than the "average" current indicates

"Using only standard bench equipment the averaged 'shock' current was just under 2 milliamperes."

One would use "average" current if misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead. The X26 output current is on the order of 25 mA RMS. The waveform from the X26 has large low frequency components, making it unexpectedly dangerous. You can't use "average" current on such a waveform.

The OEM screwed up the design of the X26 (vastly more dangerous than their earlier M26 model), and has seemingly been covering up this mistake ever since. I've got plenty of dirt on them on file. Their behaviour has been outrageous.
