Stun guns for Wales police
Police in North Wales and Gwent will be able to use 50,000-volt Taser stun guns from today if they meet severe violence or threats to the public.
Under new rules the of Tasers will no longer be limited to trained firearms officers.
Tasers can deliver electric shocks to temporarily paralyse a target. They do this by using compressed air to fire two darts that trail electric cable back to a handset
A five-second 50,000-volt charge is released down the cable. A laser helps with aim. The gun works at up to 21ft (6.5m)
A 12-month trial will also extend the circumstances in which officers can use the controversial weapons.
North Wales and Gwent are part of year-long trial that will also run Lincolnshire, Merseyside, Metropolitan Police Service, Northamptonshire, Northumbria, North Wales and West Yorkshire.
Amnesty International opposes the move, claiming the guns can be lethal.
