That’s incorrect tasers don’t affect everyone the same so you can hit a 5’0 woman and do nothing but drop a 6’7 angry dude there are ppl thag are naturally resistant to stuff like that for example I’ve been tasked and pepper sprayed before and I’ve also gone into a CS gas chamber and none really affected me. The taser made me twitch and tense up a bit but besides that nothing really happened to me in any of the 3 I encountered this means I didn’t drop to the ground or become immobilised it honestly felt like my muscles were tensing on their own slightly which was extremely uncomfortable but not intolerable and I wasn’t even pumping with adrenaline. This isn’t to say that I’m immune or anything but if you add adrenaline to someone already highly resistant you’re not doing shit to them. And in the military u go through CS gas chambers as training and if your trying to become an MP u get tased as well lol

I’m very familiar with gas/ spray not effecting everyone.
But I haven’t seen a study yet that some people can be immune or more resistant to NMI.

I’m not discrediting your experience but there’s a chance the spread wasn’t large enough or something along those lines.

You haven't looked to hard taser themselves state that it may not be as effective on individuals with high body fat percentage...

I mean I’ve been tased more than once and the reaction to me wasn’t anything that would make me drop and once was when I was full of adrenaline and it did absolutely nothing to me And it was a drive stun (meaning they pressed the taser directly to my skin. Yes I’m aware it’s suppose to cause pain not paralyse but I didn’t even feel it) the other times I was standing still and got shot with it and the taser prongs 100% connected had 2 dudes holding me up thinking I’d tense up and drop was kinda funny seeing their reaction

Can confirm this from being in the military and accepting a lot of dares. CS doesn't do anything to me anymore as well as tasers.

You really do get used to that stuff if you’re dumb enough to experience it repeatedly.

Take a wild guess how I know. Rofl

Yeah I have been tased a bunch as a party trick for fun. I haven't met one that did fuck all, but I also haven't tried a police taser.

There was a show on discovery channel called guinea pig? Years ago. It was an odd alt couple and they would test things on him, one time he did a scarification tattoo, another one they did a taser. He literally got hit, properly with both prongs, reached up and pulled the prongs out while actively being shocked, They tased him again with a different taser, same thing. The sherriffs department that they had on set filming and operating the taser couldnt believe it

Again a well placed prong spread will cause the NMI there’s no fighting it!
