Best Answer

Peak voltage of the M26 and X26 tasers is about 50,000 volts.

The manufacturer claims that most of that is dissipated arcing across the air gap, but one wonders what happens when the darts actually puncture the skin and make direct contact into the internals.

They claim that a typical applied voltage is "only 1200 volts".

But it really doesn't matter. It's the wrong question.

The real issue is the applied current and the questions about "2.1 mA" Average, versus 150+ mA RMS, versus about 30-50 mA Effective.

So look up the better question:

How do you make a taser?

The TASER is not just an electrical shock device- it produces an electrical current at a specific voltage and amperage- AND is an alternating current with a specific frequency. The TASER works not by causing pain (although it is definitely not a pleasant experience!) but by temporarily interfering with the ability of your body to control certain muscles. Simply creating a high voltage current does not do that. In short, you need a rather sophisticated electrical control system and a source of electrical power to make a TASER. Just buy one...TASER is a brand name so you don't want to infringe on that!
