A Taser is actually a brand name but it has become universally used like whirlpool, google, etc.
The way a Taser works is:
Cartridge: has prongs that shoot out and when they enter someone, an electrical charge travels between the prongs. The charge is on the same frequency as the human nervous system. That is why people lock up and fall down as the CNS is confused. If only one prong enters or the person is wearing thick clothing, it renders the taser ineffective.
With the cartridge removed, it is like a stun gun and works on pain compliance. It does not knock people out like on TV. In fact, people will jump away from it because of the pain.
