Electrified Jacket

Does this also protect from being hit by a taser?
Claimed to run on a 9 volt battery.



# ADVANCED TASER M26 (Law Enforcement) - 26 watts; 0.50 joules per pulse; and 3.6mA average current
# ADVANCED TASER M18L/M18 (Civilian) - 18 watts; 0.50 joules per pulse; and 2.7mA average current
# TASER X26 (Law Enforcement) - 7 watts; 0.07 joules per pulse; and 2.1 mA average current
# TASER X26C (Civilian) - 7 watts; 0.07 joules per pulse; and 2.1 mA average current
# TASER C2 (Civilian)- 7 watts; 0.07 joules per pulse; and 2.1 mA average current


Note: the TASER X26 and C2 systems disperse lower current. The advancements made in technology since the ADVANCED TASER M18/M26 debuted in 1999 have improved substantially. Each new generation TASER device has increased the efficiency of using smaller sources of battery power. For example, the ADVANCED TASER M18/M26 requires eight double AA batteries, while the TASER X26, X26C, and C2 only require two lithium 123 batteries.



Would a metal weave in a vest short-circuit or diffuse the electric pulse?
