What is the Difference Between a TASER Energy Weapon and a Stun Gun?
Much like how every tissue is not a Kleenex, not every energy weapon is a TASER.
TASER is a brand name. So, let's talk about the difference between energy weapons, also commonly referred to as stun guns.
TASER vs Other Stun Guns
First and foremost, the TASER StrikeLight 2 is very rugged. It has a beveled end for striking and durability. It comes with low light and high light features, and a red light to keep that night vision intact when you're out and about in dim light. It is a great strike tool.
Keep in mind the goal of both devices is to cause pain and affect the sensory nerves. Therefore, you will not affect the motor nerves and neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) will not be achieved.
Not all energy weapons are built the same. Keep this in mind when you're doing a comparison.
