Summary:


Stun gun and taser

Is a stun gun safer than a Taser


Stun guns and Tasers are both electroshock weapons that use electricity to incapacitate an attacker. However, there are some differences between them. The main difference between a stun gun and a Taser is range. A stun gun is a close-range weapon, and you need to be in close proximity to your target before you can use it which can be pretty dangerous if he wields a knife or other weapon. In contrast, a Taser can be used up to 15 feet away from a target.

Another difference is that Tasers are branded projectile weapons, while stun guns are more affordable that require close-range contact with an attacker.

Here are some differences between stun guns and Tasers: 


Range: A stun gun is a close-range weapon, and you need to be in close proximity to your target before you can use it which can be pretty dangerous if he wields a knife or other weapon.  In contrast, a Taser can be used up to 15 feet away from a target. 
Branding: TASERs are branded projectile weapons, while stun guns are not. 
Reusability: TASERs are reusable while stun guns are not. 
Price: Stun guns are more affordable than TASERs.
