Two things:
I’m sure current body armour is resistant to tasers, as the prongs need to hit you in order to work, and if your armour is stopping a knife or a bullet, two measly little pins aren’t gonna make it.
If you want a cheap and trivially accessible alternative to this, a fencing Lame will fit the bill perfectly. It’s a metal conductor in the shape of a vest or jacket. Whilst I haven’t ever been tazed wearing one, I imagine it would handle it just fine.
- steve19 7y agoI have fired non-consumer Tasers a number of times (at targets, not a living things). The thin needles of a Taser are more likely to pentrate armor than a lage knife. And a knife is more likely than a bullet. Bulletproof vests are not necessarily knife proof, they capture bullets by binding them and dissipating energy rather than stopping them dead (that is what ballistic plates/inserts are for) That said needle proof vets are common and used by law enforcement.
- jamesmus 7y agoI was trying to work out why on earth you would need to wear a metal conductor whilst erecting a fence and then I realized that you mean the sport of fencing. Ha, ha.
