Hi Rick, I had some questions. First, from the info I could find, tasers run at 60 cycle, which as I'm sure you know, is within the range of stopping the human heart. Why did y'all choose this range? 2nd, with the other info I could find it runs at 3 milliamps, close to the possibly lethal amount of 5 milliamps. Have y'all ever witnessed a taser putting out above 3 miliamps to possibly exceed or touch that 5 milliamps threshold? Also I read where you said that it would need a direct current path through your heart, are you saying the amperage is low enough that skin effect is keeping the current from flowing to the heart?
