I am a certified taser instructor for the Las Vegas Police Department. I have been a target for both the M-18 and the X 26 Advanced Taser. While I experienced the effects of the taser, I felt I could do absolutely nothing except fall to the ground in pain, as all of my muscles in my body contracted.
Now, last week, we had a certain individual come to our department to film for an upcoming season of a television show. Due to the legally binding contract, I can not tell you who this individual was, but what I can tell you is that this individual came to our department to volunteer to be hit with the Advanced Taser X26.
This individual had been doing stunts involving electricity, including messing around with tesla coils and mother nature herself. This individual wanted to experience being shot with our most advanced taser.
This individual removed his shirt to show that he had absolutely nothing on his back to protect him.
One of our other taser instructors ended up firing the taser at this individual, only to our surprise, he showed absolutely no reaction at all. All of us in the department assumed it was a misfire, and he reloaded, and fired again. Again, no reaction. We assumed that the taser had somehow lost it's power, so we then used my Taser X26. As my partner fired, it again appeared as if it wasn't working. One of our other officers volunteered to be hit with the same taser to test to see if they were malfunctioning, and to our surprise, the taser was completely effective against our own officer.
I also work at the academy, and have seen over 300 people hit with the taser, and there has never been a case where someone completely been able to ignore it, and not show any reaction. My training has taught me that the Taser X26 causes involuntary spasm of the body's entire muscular system, causing your muscles to contract against your will.
I've seen a couple of questions on here talking about people being able to withstand the taser, but I've never actually seen it myself until last week.
My question is, how was this individual able to completely block out the effects of the taser?
Of course, the secret wasn't shared with us, but this might possibly be aired on television early next year.
