Number of shocks...

It should be noted that the ticking sounds that you hear from some Taserings represents individual shocks. They might claim (for example) that they only shocked the victim twice. Actually, each tick represents another shock waveform.
So if you hear something like this:

Tick tick tick tick tick tick
pause
Tick tick tick tick tick tick

Then that is TWELVE shocks, not two.


Update: I later discovered that the X26 taser produces 19 shocks per second. The M26 produces between 11 and 25 shocks per second. The manufacturer recommends a good five-second jolt, followed by more if the first one was not sufficiently amusing. This means that the victim is actually getting a blast of about ONE HUNDRED shocks, followed by another ONE HUNDRED over and over again. One victim in the USA was shocked continuously for 2 minutes and 49 seconds which is more than THREE THOUSAND shocks.

Confucius say:

Unlikely becomes inevitable when you keep trying.

I think that they cover that point in Grade 7...
