DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STUN GUNS AND TASERS

What is a Taser?

A Taser is shot from a distance and is a form of electroshock weapon. A Taser shoots probes, which are connected to wires, toward your target. The probes, which are spear-shaped, penetrate clothing and sometimes skin, and emit an electrical current that can affect up to a two-inch area. Your target completes the circuit to deliver the electric shock.

To give even more clarification about the Taser vs. stun gun dilemma, in the United States, we generally refer to face tissue as Kleenex. However, Kleenex is a brand of face tissue and is not the actual name of the product. The same goes for calling all gelatin dessert Jell-O. Jell-O is a specific brand of gelatin dessert and is not the name of all gelatin desserts. Taser is the name of a specific brand of electroshock weapon but does not classify all stun guns.

What is a stun gun?

A stun gun has two or more prongs attached to it to deliver the electric shock. To use a stun gun you must be in direct contact with the person since it does not shoot out any type of probe. Typically, two of the prongs will have an electricity arc between them that you can physically see; the other prongs have the same voltage as these prongs but it won’t be visible. It can be dangerous to use a stun gun because the person who is trying to harm you may reach you before you can use the weapon. However, a stun gun may be more comfortable to use and more accessible than a Taser.
