A "stun gun" is a general class of implements that generate a spark or electric discharge across two or more electrodes of opposite polarity by means of capacitor and are usually battery powered. The electrodes of a "stund gun" must come into contact with the skin of the recipient. A "TAZER" is a patented device that fires two electrodes by means of compressed gas. The electrodes are connected by wires to a main hand held unit which contains the batteries and capacitors and releases an electric shock through the opposite polar electrodes, which must imbed in the flesh/skin of the recipient to deliver the shock.

What is a tazer?

Tasers* are non-lethal, self defense products. These electronic control devices use propelled wires to conduct an electrical discharge, which affects the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system. The replaceable Taser cartridge contains compressed nitrogen to deploy two small probes that are attached to the Taser. The Taser C2, Taser M18 and Taser X26C can also be used as a direct contact stun gun device. Because any one individual can have less tolerance for shock, there have been fatalities linked to the use of tasers, even when properly and judiciously used. *TASER is a brand name for a product that projects stun probes. A stun gun is NOT the same thing as a TASER.
