I've always been kind of stupid about electricity, so educate me here.
I saw an ad for a small taser, the Taser C2 for the general public. I was trying to figure out if it has less power (and / or less effectiveness) than the regular ones.
According to the taser website, the C2 is 17 pulses per second, delivers 0.0021 amperes and 1.2 watts.
The M18 is 15 pulses per second and 8 watts.
The X26 is 19 pulses per second and 1.33 watts delivered.
Which number is the important one, amperes, watts or volts? I have in my head that it's watts, but I'm not sure. I couldn't find an ampere number for the m18. They give different numbers for total v. delivered for volts, watts, and amperes, too, so in short I find it all pretty confusing.
So is this C2 a "baby" taser with lower effectiveness?
