Why A medic has 2 paddles

[Laru Naito]

Apparently... If an enemy is standing on your teammate you use one to stop the enemies heart and the other to revive your buddy at the same time... ah medic your so awesome

Also it got me my first Ace pin... and then 2 more consecutively with 3000+ points per round with a k/d of maybe 2/3 each

Nice! Grats with that

I take it you know the real reason to why a medic has 2 paddles?

Actually no i don't know the real reason So you can rub em together to make a charge?

Awesome dude lol ya medic gets alot of points. Its really good kit for the long grind to 50!

Nope. The electrical charge travels from one to the other. Haven't got any time to explain it more, don't even think I can explain it on english lol

yeah, its like how one side of a battery is positive and one is negative, the two paddles are like the open parts of a switch. The body connects the two, and so the electricity runs through the dude. same thing that a TASER does

 

[Boo-Yeah!!]

yeah you need a complete circuit

So if your enemy is over your guy, while touching him, then you could get the current to go through your guy and the enemy, thus killing one, while reviving the other

 

[iPwntUrMum]

possibly, yes, irl thats most likely impossible though lol

Just two terminals because you want to place them around the heart. Defibrillators are used for stuff like cardiac arrhythmias, not gunshot wounds and being blown to bits by HE. But this is a video game so it's ok to lie to children.

Charges, which is what electric current is - the flow of electrons, flow in a path of least resistance. So there is no guarantee that it will flow in a particular manner, in fact it probably may skip the other person completely.

And you have two paddles because you need two plates to establish an electric field, which generates the potential difference that moves the charges in a circuit.

So if your enemy is over your guy, while touching him, then you could get the current to go through your guy and the enemy, thus killing one, while reviving the other
