Taser

A taser is self defense weapon used by law enforcement. It is a handheld device that fires electromagnetic darts at a target connected to conductors that delivers an electric charge to a victim, rendering them unconscious. Depending upon the power being conducted through a taser, the effect may also be lethal in some cases. Some law enforcement agencies, such as police departments may use tasers as a supplemental tool alongside their police issue sidearms.
