What sort of taser can penetrate a winter coat from 25 feet? Is this some sort of black mil spec thing we've never seen?
Think.
For one type of Taser, which fires two barbed darts attached to wires using compressed nitrogen, the answer is easy—the barbs penetrate clothing and pierce the skin, causing a quick connection. But as for the two-pronged models many people carry in their purses or back pockets when walking alone on a dark city street, the answer involves a little bit of basic physics.
The police carry the ones that fire two pronged barbed darts which will penetrate your winter coat like a knife through butter.
25 feet? Tree Agent was 5 feet away from Lavoy.
The X-26 Stun Gun that police forces carry is able to stun a target efficiently up to 15 feet away through 2 inches of clothing FRiend.
