How common is the screaming?
I've never been tasered, but I have been hit with a stun gun. It sucks, but not as much as a broken nose.
Is it a chick thing?
owen
One of our local reporters did a story on tasers. She is about 5 foot nothing and I can't imagine her weighing over 125lbs. (I have never meet or seen her in person so take my guesses as just that) The officer she was interviewing commented that all officers have to feel the results of the taser and conviced her to try it out. The room they did it in was lined with pads (including floor) and she had two officers behind her ready to catch.
It did make her legs get weak. She wasn't going to just crash to the ground, but I doubt she would have been able to remain standing. She made a noise when the voltage was turned on. Maybe bested described as a very short low volumed squel. I don't know, but it wasn't anything like the above video.
She described the sensation after that, but I don't remember her description, other than her saying it was disabling.
