An apparatus for interfering with locomotion by one or more targets being
animal or human, uses a plurality of delivery circuits that each deliver
current through any target of the one or more targets. The apparatus
includes a capacitance, a switch, a trigger; and a control circuit that
controls the switch. Each delivery circuit includes a respective
transformer. The switch, in response to operation of the trigger,
conducts energy discharged from the capacitance into the transformer of a
first delivery circuit to enable operation of the first delivery circuit;
and conducts energy discharged from the capacitance into the transformer
of a second delivery circuit to enable operation of the second delivery
circuit. The respective transformer provides the current causing
contraction of skeletal muscles of the one or more targets, interfering
with locomotion by the one or more targets.
