CEW weapon system and related methods

A conductive energy weapon (CEW) comprising:

• a shock generating circuit configured to couple to a power source;
• and
• a first electrode and a second electrode operatively coupled to the shock generating circuit;
• wherein the shock generating circuit is configured to generate a waveform of a first pulse applied to a target using the first electrode and the second electrode, the waveform comprising a positive voltage segment followed by a negative voltage segment;
• wherein the shock generating circuit is configured to generate a waveform of a second pulse applied to the target using the first electrode and the second electrode, the waveform of the second pulse substantially the same as the waveform of the first pulse;
• wherein each pulse delivers between 55 and 74 microCoulombs of charge;
• and
• wherein each pulse delivers a majority of its charge within the first 20% of an entire duration of each pulse.
