Abstract

13 electric shock weapons were investigated. The authors measured the electrical output and observed the effects on corpses and test persons. The electric shock weapons produced only moderate pain and did not stop the disposing capacity. The electrocardiogram and the circulation parameters were not influenced. The electric shock weapons tested might have only a limited deterrent effect and might be able to cause fatal complications under circumstances. Drug use and heart disease might enhance the risk.
