US Army uses non-working stun guns with depleted batteries

According to a report submitted to the US Senate, most army stun guns have reached the end of their service lives. Therefore, the US Army uses mostly non-working stun guns with depleted batteries.

This is reported by the American newspaper Army Times.

The publication got acquainted with a report for September 2020, which stated that 58,5% (or 6650 of 11377 units) of X-26E stun guns in the US military did not work. For law enforcement and security units in military posts, the failure rate is 77 percent. They are used there on a daily basis, although they were purchased 10-12 years ago.

In the report, the refusals are explained by the "respectable" age weapons and the depletion of batteries that have nothing to replace.

Most of the failures are caused by the depletion of batteries, which are in limited supply at the Defense Supply Agency. The supplier no longer manufactures this type of X-26E battery. No restocking

- says the report.

Despite the apparent shortage of working X-26E stun guns, the US Army did not include funding for their modernization in its 2022 budget request.

The device looks like a pistol. Shocker shoots two darts on wires, through which the target is electrocuted and neutralized in a matter of seconds.

The device looks like a pistol. Shocker shoots two darts on wires, through which the target is electrocuted and neutralized in a matter of seconds.

The numerous and varied varieties of such shock devices are collectively called "Taser".

I can assume that the US authorities, foreseeing that they will not be able to keep the situation in the country by the police and NG, are preparing to involve the army in this - by the way, in violation of the Constitution ...

But that is ... If some Ukraine is so possible, then the hegemon himself and even more so

[Walking towards the light]

The police in the United States use tasers "only on the way." will really bake a queue overhead from Browning M5. It sounds harsh}}

[Avior]

There is a military police that deals with military personnel

[Normann]

How often is she forced to use weapons?

[Avior]

I don't know exactly the number, in the States it has its own subtlety - there are a lot of weapons on hand, so they don't stand on ceremony, if that
Taser is a convenient option if there is no direct threat to the life of the police

[Normann]

How often did the military police use them? It is about the military speech.

Taser: Indeed, why is he in the army?))

So the article directly states - who uses them and why:

The publication got acquainted with a report for September 2020, which stated that 58,5% (or 6650 of 11377 units) of X-26E stun guns in the US military did not work. For law enforcement and security units in military posts, the failure rate is 77 percent.

The main users of tasers in the army are the military police and the security of military installations.

US military personnel are so frostbitten that they want to fight the MP patrol? Are they bad? )).

Are the US troops so frostbitten that they want to fight the MP patrol?

The US military can do anything. Even arrange a shooting at the base.
In addition, in addition to the military, there are also bullying civilians inside the perimeter, coming from outside the perimeter. And it is not always possible to put them tightly. Plus, under the protection of the army, there are objects such as army hospitals, where shooting is also not particularly desirable.

[Walking towards the light]

Civilians at the base-jamb. If there is 2-3 MR to them and follow strictly. Hospitals must be protected reliably and "extinguish" at once unfamiliar personalities, because victims can be nemeryanye during a terrorist attack. chemistry. "

[Alexey RA]

Quote: Walking towards the light

A taser does not immediately knock out a person, especially if he is under "chemistry."

So this is not against martyrs. The taser is the second, or even the third barrel, which is used when it is too early to kill the offender, words no longer affect him, but the disorder must be stopped.

We scared away in August 93 in the exit guard)) True, it was not the villagers but the VOKHR, when they tried to run over us) We quickly realized that, against the three cocked AK-74s, they, with their "Nagans" and Mosin carbines, would not have had a chance) )))

[Region-25.rus]

exactly! Senior with a revolver in a holster, and two "fighters" and it was with Mosin carbines. What's wrong?

[uav80]

There is such a structure as the military police ...
Its functions:
maintaining discipline in garrisons, bases, ships, submarines
object protection
traffic regulation when moving military columns
anti-terrorist activities
elimination or assistance in eliminating unrest among the civilian population, including in those countries where units and subdivisions of the US Armed Forces are deployed

the target is struck by an electrical discharge and neutralized in a matter of seconds.

That is, the target has a chance to bang out of the pestle or throw a grenade? well, that-that-that ...

Interestingly, the Ukrainian Cyborgs and the Taser have interchangeable batteries?

A high degree of unification has been achieved, and how, in general, with batteries in Ukraine?

How not to reduce in the presence of an internet fraudster Avior from the square , previously actively posing as a Russian here?

Well, sleep for us again that this is not true ...

Just so that you don’t sing, it turns out "I haven’t died yet ..."

Pan Avior, manuscripts don't burn...

[Avior]

understandably, they lied again. The clinic is simple.
There was one such person here, flickering, he was also moved on the topic of Ukraine, inserted everywhere and lied at every step, like you, disappeared somewhere, is it not you in the new registration?

I think they are just trying to buy new models, they have cartridges not for one shot, like the old ones, but for three and a bunch of other improvements. Who would use it if 70 percent of the bounce rate ...

I think they are just seeking to buy new models

as well as the "permanent Russian threat"))) Reason to knock out the loot)

Okay, Rotten ...

[Gardamir]

USA, Ukraine, then everywhere. But we live in Russia. And about the Russian events is more interesting. Even the fact that in the anniversary year of astronautics on Sakhalin they demolished the monument to Gagarin.

Well, as always, the liberals will not punish anyone.

[Walking towards the light]

Yes, they demolished. It was emergency. From plaster. Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin in the heart of every Russian. And a new monument will be erected. Already installed.

[Gardamir]

From plaster

Our entire government is made of plaster and nothing. And I doubt that it was emergency, much more important that there will be a gas station at this place. means not emergency.

[Okolotochny]

I see that your gang has become more active before the elections. Did you receive funding? Not even paid with strawberries near Moscow? An off-topic article. Further along Lavrov.

[A. Privalov]

Open the X-26E manual and read that in the absence or discharging of the battery, you can use 8 pieces of ordinary AA batteries installed in a special adapter from the taser kit.

Let it be connected to the tank battery. With a cord.

[Turist1996]

That is, over the course of 10-12 years, no one bothered that during this time, due to the shorter battery life in relation to the service life of the device itself, they would have to be changed, more than once, right? The battery is like a cartridge in a printer: a consumable item.
They were removed from production - there is a complete analogue in different ways .. I don’t believe that the manufacturer missed such an opportunity - to sell such a cheap thing to the US Army at an exorbitant price.
Although, if the manufacturer of the taser and the battery is the same, then I clearly see intent: take a new device with a new battery.
By analogy with the manufacturers of smartphones: let's recall the Nokia 3310 and modern Samsung and Apple devices.

I am afraid that in this case there will be a new scandal: "The security of the US Army facilities depends on China - the" American "batteries for the tasers purchased by the army turned out to be Chinese".
For you know where the cheapest everything is produced. And for the sake of profit interest ... and further down Dunning.

[Avior]

One and the same - Taser International (now Axon)
There's a specially shaped rechargeable lithium battery that's part of the handle. In addition, it is specific - it has a built-in Camera for capturing what is happening.
X26 is an old model, it is almost 20 years old.
For a long time already there are new, with advanced functions

[Eule]

The warriors demanded that the taser be smaller in size, which is why a strangely shaped battery was built into the X26. In general, it is arranged very tightly, at the limit of the risk of breakdowns between parts.

[Vasyan1971]

The supplier no longer manufactures this type of X-26E battery. No restocking

And order on Ali-express?

[saygon66]

- Here you go! And they have a mess in the army! And in this we are definitely stronger!

[alch3mist]

It's strange that there are replaceable batteries. It's so profitable: to make the accounts non-replaceable, by maximizing their replacement, as in smartphones!
