What Does TASER Stand For?

TASER stands for Thomas A Swift S Electric Rifle

TASER, an acronym for "Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle," is a non-lethal electroshock weapon designed for law enforcement and personal defense. It delivers a high-voltage electric shock to temporarily immobilize a target, promoting safety during confrontations. The device operates by firing two small dart-like electrodes that connect to the target, delivering an electric current that disrupts muscle control. TASER technology provides an alternative to lethal force, aiming to reduce injuries and fatalities in various situations.
