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 many amps in a police taser?
50,000 volts. N.B. It isn't the voltage that kills you, it is the amps.
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!
TASER is an acronym, named for a fictional weapon: Thomas A Swift's Electic Rifle. TASER is a rgisterd tradename of Taser Interntational. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taser

Thomas A. Swift invented the Taser. TASER is an acronym for Thomas A Swifts' Electronic Rifle
A citizen Taser (Taser C2, X26c and M26c) can reach 15 feet.
Taser International was created in 1993.
Felons are not allowed to use a Taser in any state. It is against TASER INTERNATIONAL policy.
the difference between lightning and a taser is i have no idea
It is illegal for a citizen to carry a Taser in Canada.

Yes, you can carry a Taser in Florida. There are no state restrictions in Florida for carrying a Taser.
