stun guns

Electroshock incapacitation devices

A stun gun is a handheld weapon that delivers an electric shock to incapacitate someone temporarily.

The shock causes pain and muscle contractions, disabling the target without permanent injury.

Stun guns require direct contact with the body, unlike Tasers, which fire barbed probes on wires: The security guard drew his stun gun.
