It can be as low as 1mA if you have direct contact to the heart, from what I remember.Drewthetexan wrote:Is it 60?

I cant remember the names, as my Anatomy fails me now.
anything above 200mA muscle contractions can be so strng that the heart can't do anything at all.
The Taser is designed to be 5,000v@ 3mA, so under most circumstances it should not stop the heart.
Now I'm not a doctor, I'm just a guy who at one time was a trained EMT, so I'm sure there's more information than what I just gave.
Again, I was trained about 10 years ago, the numbers they teach now might be different. I'd like to hear from someone who'se current, or is a real doctor :)
