ShoX is a Human Electro Muscular
Incapacita- tion ( HEMI ) projectile comprised of a
composite housing coupled with an
electrically-conductive contact surface with a dual barbed probe sys- tem .

once the bullet makes contact with
the target for up to 30 seconds , at
a pulse duration of 100 microsec- onds to deliver an average current of 5 milliamps , which upon impact and disrupts the nervous system .
Put in perspective , a
University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign study indicates that at 20 milli- amps , breathing becomes labored

A ShoX bullet discharges an electrical shock at
260 pulses per second , which
