STINGER SYSTEMS, INC. 
By TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Stinger Systems, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: STYS), a leader in electro-stun technology confirmed its training policy to allow officers to aim at center mass with its S-200 AT EID. A recent training directive from Taser® International Inc has generated interest and questions from users of electronic immobilization devices (EID) and more specifically whether Stinger Systems' products will change its training policies. In brief, the Taser training bulletin 15.0 concerns ONLY Taser International's products as described therein. Said training bulletin stated to lower the recommended point of aim from center of mass to lower-center of mass for dart applications:
The purpose of an EID is to effectively, efficiently and as safely as possible, immobilize hostile or resisting individuals during a lawful arrest process or confrontation. EIDs are built to only temporarily immobilize an individual by emitting energy comprised of a blend of voltage, amperage, resistance. EIDs, of course, can't possibly interpret the physical condition, impairments or circumstances of a suspect. This includes factors such as knowing the existence of any medical problems or use of drugs. Therefore, new advanced and unique engineering of EIDs could possibly create a different energy delivery system that could possibly help reduce risk to such individuals.
Stinger Systems certifies its instructors in what Stinger Systems believes to be proper training protocol and to conduct its training pursuant to the technology created for its products. While this technology is not without limitations, it is intended to be less-than-lethal but Stinger Systems has always recognized the possibility that an individual can be injured or even a more serious outcome can occur from a resulting use. As of this writing and after thousands and thousands of product uses and applications of Stinger Systems electro-stun products, there has not been a serious injury or death in either actual field or training applications.
Stinger's training protocol has not significantly changed over the years. While an EID dart firing situation to the back of a person is reliable and less likely to hit sensitive area(s) (eyes, groin, etc.), a front application (thus the term CONFRONTATION) is permissible. Stinger's training methodology outlines the risks of frontal shots and clearly outlines areas of avoidance like the eye, throat, groin or any combination thereof, that may possibly cause an undetermined injury.
While stun devices accomplish the same end result....immobilization, how that is achieved is considerably different with the Stinger EID compared to other EIDs that are presently being sold. Other EID technology essentially fills capacitors and "dumps" that energy into a suspect. Stinger's technology employs an on-board micro computer that can manage the flow of energy to the suspect in real time. The majority of confrontations take place from a frontal position. Therefore, Stinger Systems believes that putting limitations of not being able to fire at the entire front torso can impede overall use of the EID thereby defeating its purpose and design. Additionally, Stinger Systems is of the opinion that if chest shots were deemed "not preferable," officer injuries could possibly escalate due to missed shots.
Stinger's training protocol has not changed in relation to its variable pulse output and load/resistance sensing technology.
Stinger is of the belief that EID technology may not work on everyone and may have not have the desired effect in some situations. Stinger Systems desires to calibrate its EIDs so that they are highly effective in the field but does not desire to cross any barriers that it considers dangerous to the community to achieve increased success rates.
Stinger Systems has developed a unique process to immobilize suspects that is proprietary to Stinger. Stinger set out to design an EID product that was designed with safety in mind while still accomplishing the goal of immobilization. Among some of the energy dissipation features that the Stinger S-200 EIDs utilizes that make the Stinger EID technology different from others are:
1.) Stinger products have been used since 2000 with a combined thousands of uses of all its products and the Company has never had an after use death
2.) The S-200 AT uses cardiac T-Wave Avoidance Technology
This means, by varying the pulse groups per second the ability to continually "land" on the vital cardiac T-Wave is greatly reduced
3.) The S-200 AT Actually communicates with the wires in the body and regulates energy flow from the gun based on resistance in the body!
4.) The S-200 AT is the only EID that changes energy output in real-time!
5.) The S-200 AT uses pulse groups not pulses per second, meaning there is less total current (current is what is dangerous to humans) in each micro pulse than a competitor's single pulse.
6.) The S-200 AT emits variable pulses. Meaning the S-200 AT's energy is not emitted on a steady pulses per second rate, rather the S-200 AT varies the pulse groups per second output.
