Must be a market opportunity for clothes with metallic thread to short out the Taser.

That would have to be an impressive thread for it not to burn out like a fuse and leave you with a nice scar.

Terrific idea mind.

Chainmail?

BTW, how much current do these "tazer" fings chuck out?

rubber suit, feat in a bucket of lead, or just don't do anything that my get you shot with a taze, for example, having a backpack on.....opps...sorry that getting shot with a gun

It's a taser not an electric chair...

There's a lot of volts (70kVish) but not much current.

Chain mail might be better, but it's just so heavy. Ask any Klingon.

So the combination of chain mail, kevlar and some nice metallic thread should make you bullet proof and taser proof.

I can feel a patent application coming on, the Zeitghost (tm) patent anti everything suit.

So, what would happen if the Tazer was shorted across something with a very low resistance... Where does all that energy go... Why, back to the tazer mefinks...

As long as there is a flap on the front , so you can take a piss!

**n5gooner** · 22 August 2005, 13:47

but if you had a device that sent lots of V and current back that could be a shocking experiance.

Can't be much more than an amp on the average, probably less, otherwise you run the risk of killing the target. Of course, this depends greatly on your personal resistance, so best not to be standing in a pool of water or holding on to a copper pipe stuck in the ground when they zap you.
