Described by a friend of mine as “the worst 5 seconds of his life,” tasers (or tazers) send enough electricity into a man to interrupt the brain’s ability to control their muscles. It locks you up. If someone’s getting rowdy, this will stop ‘em every time. Tasers are the great equalizer; it doesn’t matter how big or tough you are, everyone gets punked by the taser.
These non-lethal weapons are easy to use, and they don’t (usually) cause any lasting damage. I’ve fired them before and was impressed at how easy it is to just point and click and then you’re sending 50,000 Volts through into a person’s central nervous system.
The pain they cause is temporary, lasting only as long as the taser is sending electricity into the body. However, I’ve heard that the worst part about them is pulling out the barbs that are shot out of the weapon.
Should the cops ever show up and you’re on the wrong end of one of these, don’t be a hero. Just lie down on the ground and put your hands in the small of your back. It might sound like a limp-wristed move, but it will save you a lot of pain, and your buddies a lot of laughs.

I like this one because it shows soldiers doing what they do best, screwing around:
