Do tasers hurt

The TASER (It actually stands for Thomas Alva Swift Electric Rifle- really) uses a gas cartridge to propel two small metal darts that are connected by wires to the TASER. The darts will stick through clothing, and into a person's skin. Electronic circuits in the TASER take electricity in the batteries, and convert that to a high voltage, low amperage electrical current. The current is an alternating current that has a frequency that causes blockage of nerve messages- in other Words, your muscles are no longer under your control, and you fall down. It also causes a GREAT deal of pain in the few seconds that the current is on. There have been reports of deaths associated with the use of a TASER, but they are rather rare.
