Abstract
An improved electric weapon immobilizes a target by conducting a current through an electrode and through the target. The weapon includes a circuit that outputs a pulse pattern having a first pulse, a second pulse of opposite polarity compared to the first pulse, and a period of no output between the first pulse and the second pulse. The period is in a range from 50 microseconds to 1000 microseconds. The electric weapon repeats the output of the pattern at a rate of 19 repetitions per second. A method for immobilizing a target is performed by an electric weapon. The method includes delivering a first pulse in a first polarity, operating a switch to reverse the polarity of delivery; and delivery the second pulse in a second polarity. The method may further include awaiting lapse of a period between delivery of the first pulse and delivery of the second pulse wherein the period is in the range of from 50 microseconds to 1000 microseconds.
