| 481235 | 2006-08-29 21:32:00 | Would a taser be restricted as a weapon? www.youtube.com The youtube video covers how to make a taser from a disposable camera. I suppose anythign with a big kick capacitator in it will work. |

| 481237 | 2006-08-30 07:14:00 | I suppose anything with a big kick capacitator in it will work. Not quite, you need a good power source (high capacity lithium-ion batteries?) a high-energy inverter to generate the 5kV voltage, a system to hold the wires in a manner that can be unwound at high speed, and a method of "firing" the wires & contact barbs at high speed into the victim. A charged capacitor alone is no great use as it will only deliver a single jolt that won't do much to stop an attacker. The Taser delivers 5kV into a low impedance load (human body) for 5+ seconds per shot. Make one (that actually works properly) out of a camera? I don't think so somehow. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 481238 | 2006-08-30 07:36:00 | Checked the video, that's nothing like a Taser, it's simply a one-shot zapper device that works at a voltage considerably lower than that of a Taser . It would make you jump, and might hurt a little, but not enough to worry about unless you had a weak heart and got zapped on the chest or from one hand to the other . Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 481240 | 2006-08-30 15:38:00 | I would like to see you take on a Police with one of those tasers :P Also those police ones are a little inhumane eh? |

| 481242 | 2006-08-31 00:30:00 | I'm not saying to carry a gun but find something that doesn't kill/severely injure a person. This is not a case of one taser fits all. As people with health issues have died from them. | trinsic (6945) | ||

As people with health issues have died from them. I find it amusing that tasers are described by the police as "less lethal", rather than "non-lethal". So it'll only kill you a little bit, or for a short time. Great - good to know! :rolleyes: |

| 481244 | 2006-08-31 09:55:00 | /contempt police...enough said. As for tazers... a home made one needn't be limited to a single capacitor, you could have several set to discharge in series over several seconds, or use long discharge capacitors, for such beasties exist. |
