🗑
|
||||
| Electricity follows the path of least resistance and on a dart-firing gun that is: | Between the probes

|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| By generating a high-voltage , low-amperage electrical charge, the basic idea of a stun gun is to disrupt: | The body's communication system
🗑
|
||||
| The main advantage of dart-firing stun gun is that it stuns subjects from a greater distance typically: | 15 to 25 feet for patrol, 35 feet for SWAT/Special Operations
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| The drive stun may assist an officer in taking a subject into custody but does not: | Incapacitate a subject

🗑
|
||||

|
||||
| Probe hits are alomst always more desirable than drive stuns because they are: | More effective (neuromuscular vs. pain complaince), can be applied from safer distance, usually require fewer cycles, and cause fewer injuries

🗑
|
||||
| 1 | 1
🗑
|
||||
