TASER GUN

A 15-second time exposure shows the red aiming laser and the blue flashes of electricity from an M26 Advanced Taser at the Marion, Iowa, Police Department Tuesday, June 7, 2004. The non-lethal force weapon uses Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) to override the central nervous system. A 50,000 volt, 26-watt charge causes an uncontrollable contraction of muscle tissue. A normal hit from the Taser lasts for five seconds. The time allows officers to subdue the subject before that person can recover. (AP Photo/The Gazette, Jim Slosiarek)
