Point & shoot
Master Sgt. William Newcomb, the NCO-in-charge of training for the 96th Security Forces Squadron, fires his X-26 Taser at a target across the room during a demonstration at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. All 96 SFS personnel must attend an eight-hour course to carry a taser. It is required annual training to maintain certification for the device. 16 SFS Airmen and civilians were trained or re-certified through at class Sept. 22. Six people received exposure to the taser’s 50,000 volts for five seconds to better understand, first-hand, how the body reacts to the shot. It is not a requirement to receive exposure to the taser to carry the weapon. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
