Defeat Taser

How to Defeat Taser

With most law enforcement agencies carrying Taser devices, it is important to know the weaknesses and how to defeat this tool. This method also works for contact energy weapons such as stun guns and cattle prods too. This is not to be confused with the commercial product names after a Norse god that carries a hammer.

3M 2100 static guard anti-static bags can be used to shield you from the electric shock of the Taser. A fencing conductive suit can also do the same thing. The idea is to have a highly conductive layer that you are wearing. When the barbs of the two probes hit this conductive layer, their electrical energy is dissipated into the conductive material. This keeps it from short circuiting your nervous system.

Lots of online arguments say that you must be insulated, well this is just not true. The electricity must be spread out and dissipated. Even large amounts of electricity can be spread out with metal and metal foil impregnated material. 3M 2100 static guard bags can be found in the electronics industry, repair shops and locations that transport electronics. In a pinch, even aluminum foil could be used. The main thing is to make sure that the probes of the Taser or prod hit the conductive material instead of your skin first.

Once contact is made with your skin, the electrical charge causes pulsing of your nervous system. This causes your muscles to contract, and your body to go stiff. If you are able to disperse the electricity elsewhere or knock one of the barbed probes out, the shock stops. For contact devices like stun guns and cattle prods, both contact points must touch you or at least be close enough for electrical charge to reach your skin. This is a very small distance. Once again the conductivity of the material between your skin and the probes will dissipate the charge away.

Unlike the commercial product marketed to police departments, 3M 2100 film and fencing clothing can take multiple hits in the same location. Line your clothes and perhaps make a poncho liner with conductive material. This will allow you to defeat Taser, stun guns and cattle prods.
