Self Defense and Security Blog

Hey folks Poppajohn here. This is the first post for the new blog here on Personal Security 4U
We haven’t met before but you probably have a good idea where I’m comin from just by viewing the web site. Poppajohn was a soldier a long time ago and just can’t seem to shake the feelin that the world still needs em. More bout me some other time.
Some of you have been e-mailing me asking for some good hot specials for the 4th of July. Well I been thinkin bout that and I think I have a good one even though it’s been around awhile. How does $150.00 OFF on a Taser Gun sound. I can’t allow any other discounts along with this one but trust me it’s the lowest price you have ever seen on a 44001 Air Taser M18L and it will be effective at least through the Fourth. To go along with that I have a new informational page for tasers that I feel the need to share with you. So here it is:

Poppajohn will try to tell you what he knows about
Taser weapons in something like a succinct manner.

First to begin with there are two types of stun weapons
available today. Number one is the
traditional
stun gun with two portruding electrodes (positive
and negative) which set up an electrical circuit between
the two electrodes so that current will pass between
them when the stun gun is activated.
more about electricity.The early
models are typically powered by nine volt alkaline
batteries or for most of the later
models three volt lithium camera batteries which
allows them to be constructed on a smaller frame. Conventional
stun systems primarily effect the sensory nervous system.
Something like static on the communication lines between
the brain and the body, stun systems interfere with
the human command and control systems. The effect is
the muscles contract and relax at a very high rate However,
a small percentage of people with very high tolerance
for electrical stimulation can fight through the effect
of these 7-14 Watt systems, more about how
stun guns work.

The Air
Taser M18 and the Self
Defense Taser C2 weapons are much more aggressive
in that one need not wait until your assailant or would
be assailant is close enough to touch. Taser Weapons
fire their electrode probes out to a distance of 15
feet (civilian) or as much as 35 feet (law enforcement)
at 135 feet per second which attach to the aggressor
and send current through wires to the probes which sets
up a current flow (circuit) between them. Taser weapons
also use a more powerful
18 to 26 Watt electrical
signal (known as EMD Electro Muscular Disruption or
NMI Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation) which can completely
override the central nervous system and directly control
the skeletal muscles. The electrical signal transmits
throughout the area where the probes make contact with
the body or clothing quickly resulting in the attacker
losing neuromuscular control and the ability to perform
any co-ordinated actions. The energy can penetrate as
much as two cumulative inches of clothing or one inch
per probe.They do not however rely on huge voltage to
get the job done they only use 50,000 volts as opposed
to the million or two with the highest powered stun
guns. Utilizing an automatic
timing mechanism to apply the electric charge results
in a Shaped Pulse™ Technology that is a
sophisticated pulse wave which utilizes a high voltage
leading edge to penetrate barriers such as clothing
around the body followed by a lower voltage stimulation
pulse to cause the Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation. The
TASER releases the electric current
in a preset time sequence (initially seven seconds followed
by a number of 1.8 second breaks for a total time of
about 30 seconds in each cycle).This cycle ensures that
the nervous system of the target ain’t gonna recover
sufficiently enough to allow him to remove the probes.
The following bursts disrupt the process of the mook’s
regaining equilibrium of his nervous system. While the
would be perp is disabled and the taser is still delivering
follow-on bursts, you can place the device on the ground
and escape. Yeah, SCOOT. Mooks are just generally (not
nice people) you don’t want to be there when he recovers.
Just a copy of the police report will get your taser
unit replaced.

The Air Cartridge is a replaceable module that is easily
affixed to the front of either the M or X Series Models
of Taser. the Self Defense Taser C2 uses a similar cartridge
which is optimized for and fits only the C2 Models.
By firing the electrodes out from the Taser it allows
for the engagement of targets at ranges up to 15 feet.
The electrodes are fired using a blast of compressed
nitrogen for a propulsion system, the cartridges incorporate
the high voltage insulated TASER wire connected to two
bi-metal probes, and AFID serialization.

The Anti-Felon Identification (AFID) is a system which
attempts to identify the user of the taser for each
firing. Thereby possibly detering misuse of the Taser
through enhanced accountability. The AFID includes the
bar-coded ID of each and every SELF
DEFENSE TASER C2 cartridge or AIR
TASER M18 Cartridge and disperses numerous confetti-like
ID tags upon activation (when the cartridge is fired).
Thus allowing for tracing the buyer of the cartridge.

Laser Sight Integration is available for the SELF DEFENSE
TASER C2 a microprocessor controls laser illumination
for the laser sighting on the Self Defense Taser C2
when the safety switch is activated. Laser sighting
is also available on the Air Taser M18 though it is
straight laser sighting and not micro-processor controlled.

The power source for the self defense taser C2 is an
integrated power source with lithium battery cells and
a solid-state memory module which tracks power consumption,
power levels remaining, and allows for software updates
to be distributed by incorporating them into replacement
batteries.

The power source for the air taser m18 is 8 AA Duracell
Ultra Alkaline batteries or Energizer Nickel Metal Hydride
rechargeable AA batteries, self contained inside a polyethylene
battery tray, with a feature to prevent reverse insertion.
Output: 50,000V 18 Watts, 1.76 Joules per pulse energy
(5-second automatic timing cycle per discharge)

Well there’s that and I will keep working on more Fourth of July specials, who knows what I might come up with.
So stay safe, Thanks a lot!!
