Stun guns and TASERs are considered less-lethal electroshock weapons. Electroshock weapons, as the name implies, work on the principle of using an electric shock to disrupt voluntary muscle movement and incapacitate threats. Although incorrectly used as interchangeable terms, a TASER gun and a stun gun are similar but different things. TASER refers to a specific brand of device that has two electrodes that fire out and stick to the target. A stun gun doesn't have projectiles, and the prongs need to be held directly to the attacker's body to work. Some TASERs are dual-function; when the firing cartridge is removed, they may also have electrode prongs that operate as a stun gun.
