2. Cattle prod - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_prod

   An electric cattle prod is a stick with electrodes on the end which is used to make cattle move via a relatively high-voltage, low-current electric shock. The electric cattle prod is said to have been invented by Texas cattle baron Robert J. Kleberg, Jr. [1] [2] of the King Ranch around 1930, although versions were sold as early as 1917.

3. Picana - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picana

   The picana is a hybrid electroshock weapon adapted from the electric cattle prod, the precursor for today's stun guns.Originally cattle prods were devices developed for use as a goad in animal slaughterhouses, but later were used on humans as torture devices intended to exact pain and incapacitate a person.

4. Electroshock weapon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroshock_weapon

   Stun guns, batons (or prods), cattle prods, shock collars, and belts administer an electric shock by direct contact, whereas Tasers fire projectiles that administer the shock through thin flexible wires. Long-range electroshock projectiles, which can be fired from ordinary shotguns and do not need the wires, have also been developed.

   Police say a 12-year-old student's parents were allegedly using a cattle prod to discipline him. "It delivers an electric shock, and you use it to direct or guide livestock.

6. Electrical injury - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_injury

   Other electroshock weapons such as stun guns, stun batons ("cattle prods"), and electroshock belts administer an electric shock by direct contact. Electric fences are barriers that use electric shocks to deter animals or people from crossing a boundary. The voltage of the shock may have effects ranging from uncomfortable, to painful or even lethal.

7. Graduated electronic decelerator - Wikipedia

   For comparison, a cattle prod produces a shock of not more than 10 mA lasting a fraction of a second. [5] According to James Eason, a professor of biomedical engineering at Washington and Lee University, the GED's lowest shock setting is about twice the threshold that pain researchers consider tolerable to most adult humans.
