WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – Billy Matheny, 509th Security Forces Squadron, tases a training participant April 22. According to Mr. Matheny, the use of the X26 Taser will allow officers to subdue larger, stronger opponents with no long lasting effects while reducing the danger to them selves from having to go hands on with a subject.

WHITEMAN AIR FORCE BASE, Mo. – Billy Matheny, 509th Security Forces Squadron, tases a training participant April 22. Although very painful, the taser is not dependant on the pain to gain compliance, whether the subject submits to the pain is irrelevant. The muscles simply will not function while the taser is activated. Unlike other intermediate weapons used by law enforcement, such as pepper spray or expandable baton, recovery is immediate once the taser is turned off.
