Not shocking: Most of the Army’s tasers don’t work

The majority of the Army’s tasers are past their intended service life and are not operational, largely due to depleted batteries, according to a report the service submitted to a Senate panel last year.

Army Times obtained the September 2020 report, which stated that 58.5 percent — 6,650 of 11,377 — of the service’s X-26E tasers are not operational.
