What is the degree that the second probe of a taser fires?

The second probe of a taser fires at an angle of 8 degrees. This specific angle is engineered to enhance the effectiveness of the taser by ensuring that the two probes can achieve optimal separation when they are deployed. Proper separation between the probes is crucial for establishing an effective electrical circuit across the target's body, which leads to the most effective incapacitation. This design allows for a greater chance of hitting a larger muscle mass and ensures that the taser can deliver its electrical charge effectively. Understanding this angle is essential for users to minimize injury risks and maximize the device’s efficacy in non-lethal situations.
