I'd rather be shot with a stun gun than a real gun by my oppressive overlords.

What if they just used a stun gun instead?


A taser may have set off the bomb he was supposed to have been carrying (thought that sounds a bit like Hollywood physics), and it was why they aimed for the head.

The stun gun wouldn't have necessarily, but just as many bombs are set off by the holder letting go of the trigger as are set off by them pressing it.

Three hundred volts of a particular current would be just as dangerous as 50,000. It's only the amount, not the strength.
