Figure 1 The prototype Taser X-26 stun gun and the darts. The electrical current waveform characteristics at x1, x5, x10, and x30 of the standard discharge from the Taser X-26. The waveform of the standard pulse has a duration of about 100 µs and a net delivered charge of about 100 µC. Variations of the current waveform with increased output are shown. Because of the output stage transformer effects in front of the capacitors, there is an increase in both pulse duration and peak current. The gun and darts (9 mm in length) with insulated wires that carry the charge from the gun to the darts are shown in the lower panel.
