The Pros and Cons of owning and using a Stun Gun or Taser self defense device depending on which features are most important to you, and are most effective for the situation in which you could be using it. PROS & CONS OF TASER AND STUN GUN DEVICES The Taser can also be used as a direct contact stun gun, allowing for close proximity self defense. Upon firing, Taser devices shoot two metal probe darts a distance of 15 feet to reach an attacker before he reaches you.
Taser devices can be used both close and far range. Taser devices are electroshock weapons that use electrical current to disrupt muscle control, stopping an attacker dead in their tracks. To use, simply pull the trigger and touch the aggressor with the metal prongs. Stun guns are close proximity self defense devices that use high-voltage electricity to stop an attacker by momentarily disabling muscle control.
