As we know all too well, Electricity Knocks You Out. Concurrently, electricity has many uses; one of these manifold uses is a natural taser. This trope refers to the tendency for electricity to serve as a stunning mechanism. If a person can summon/harness lightning or electricity, chances are someone hit with it with be stunned, with arcs flowing across their body. Water is basically a giant taser trap waiting to be sprung by the proper application of an electric shock. Additionally, victims of said tasing with often cry out spasmodically before falling in a heap, in order to properly convey the force of the incapacitating blast. Even when "ordinary" tasing doesn't behave like that in a given show, this effect often (inexplicably) appears when a taser is applied to the back of the neck. This is very common in Video Games, where the paralysis Status Effect is frequently inflicted by electric attacks or visually represented by electric sparks. Related to Shock and Awe, as most of the Electric weaponry related therein would carry this effect. In SF literature after about 1955, you are much more likely to encounter a Sonic Stunner. Since then, Static Stun Guns have been primarily a visual-media trope. A Static Stun Gun can be considered a type of stun gun, because both kinds of weapons have the ability to incapacitate. It's just that the former is explicitly mentioned to be lightning-driven while the latter can use something else besides electricity to do the same job. This trope is not Truth in Television — if a live-action character is tased and loses consciousness, it's safe to assume that the "taser" is not a real taser at all and the actor is merely guessing what it's like to be tased. See Lightning Gun for a more lethal way to use electricity, and Taser Tag Weakness for when a Static Stun Gun proves just as useful against superpowered individuals as it does against unpowered ones (i.e., very useful). See also Shock Stick for electrified weapons that take the form of a staff or baton, usually combining this effect with blunt trauma. Compare Instant Death Bullet, for when guns are depicted as a painless way to incapacitate someone. Sub-Trope of Electricity Knocks You Out. |

In RoboCop (2014), one of the titular character's weapons is a NI-408 pistol (a.k.a. TSR-66). As Mattox says, "Each projectile releases up to 200,000 volts. It can stun, it can kill... and it's nasty shit." Murphy frequently uses it together with an M2 Battle Rifle, and is not above applying it as Electric Torture by shooting people who already surrendered if he feels the target deserves it. | |

The Simpsons: In "Monty Can't Buy Me Love", Mr. Burns uses a cattle prod on numerous people at the mall, including Ned Flanders. Subverted in "Helter Shelter". Squiggy from Laverne & Shirley is sent in to boost the show's ratings, and zaps Homer with a taser. Homer cries out spasmodically but does not end up losing consciousness. Discussed in "Dangers on a Train". Marge skypes Ben and asks him if he's watching Upton Rectory. He says he can't because his wife is "watching a show about a man who repossesses zoo animals". She is then heard yelling "Come on, taser that flamingo!" followed by an electrical buzzing sound and a flamingo shrieking. |

In the X games, the Ion Disruptor acts like an arcing lightning ray against ships, which does good shield damage but is effectively useless against the hull. Ion Disruptors are also the only way to capture Spaceflies - zap a spacefly with the disruptor as it zips past, and it will be stunned long enough for the spaceship to scoop it up with a spacefly collector. The spacefly can then be sold to the Split Dynasty to power their reactors or to the Space Pirates for pretty much the same purpose. | |

In Lazer Team, Zach is tased not once, but three times (inadvertently the third time), including being tased twice in a row in one scene. This is especially notable as his actor, Michael Jones, was later tased twice in a row during the Rooster Teeth Extra Life fundraising stream in which they were raising money for a children's hospital. What's more, he volunteered for this as part of a fundraising goal. | |

XCOM: Enemy Unknown has the Arc Thrower, a short-ranged electrolaser designed and invented as a research project after you research the alien invaders' xeno-biology. It works better the less health the target has, and once the stun procs, the alien will stay unconscious until the end of the mission. Later projects in the Foundry increase its effectiveness to make stuns easier, and give it an extra role in hacking alien Drones and repairing mechanical units* SHIVs, other hacked Drones and, in Enemy Within, MEC Troopers and mind-controlled Mechtoids.. It should be noted that each of these uses consume one charge of the Arc Thrower's very limited pool. | |

Yuri immobilizes Peter by shooting him with electric restraining cables obtained from Sable Incorporated, preventing him from stepping in long enough for her to shoot Hammerhead. This scene shows that, despite Yuri Jumping Off the Slippery Slope in her revenge against Hammerhead, she refuses to kill Spider-Man for opposing her. | |

Fallout: New Vegas crosses this with Carry a Big Stick in form of X-2 Antenna, which you wrench out from a radio dish as part of a Old World Blues DLC quest. It stays electrified after that and deals additional damage to robots and people in Powered Armor, has insane reach and causes knockback, but is rather heavy. It also has a special VATS move that deals quadruple damage (doubled by VATS, then doubled once more by special itself), making it the strongest non-explosive attack in the game. | |

The Shock Trap from Star Wars Battlefront (2015) is an electronic mine which immobilizes any enemy within range and kills them if they fail to struggle loose in five seconds. Both R2-D2 and Lando Calrissan can use these Traps as one of their abilities, though Lando's variant of the above is not only more powerful, but also disguises itself as a power-up. R2's is a more literal gun, shooting straight out of his body. | |

Void Bastards has the Zapper, a 3-shot tazer that does a small ammount of damage and stuns the target. It's very effective on robots and turrets. Its upgrades, Cattle Prod and Herd Zapper, stun for longer. | |

Weapons called "Stun Rods" appear in the hands of late-game mooks in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. It's a bit of a misnomer, though: in 4 they do about the same amount of damage as being shot in the face with a Gatling Gun, and in 5 they instantly put you into Dying status. You can also buy a Stun Rod in 5 and use it yourself; it is extremely powerful and works wonders for crowd control and, best of all, it doesn't use any ammo. | |

Avengers: Age of Ultron sees her add a pair of electroshock batons to her arsenal. Ant-Man: Detective Paxton tases Scott, knocking him out so he can be put in the police car and taken back to jail. |

In one episode of Smallville, the villain of the week tries to murder Lana and her friend with a handgun that shoots a bolt of electricity, claiming it's painless and will immediately stop their hearts. Clark ends up speeding in and tanking it, accidentally ricocheting the energy back at the villain, which kills him instantly. He then speeds out so fast that it appears to Lana and her friend that the gun just explosively misfired. | |

The Goa'uld "Zat'Nik'Tel" weapons in Stargate SG-1 work like this; effectively scaled up versions of a Taser weapon. In one instance, one was even used as a substitute for electroshock therapy. It can also be used as a lethal weapon, since the charge is strong enough to kill most humanoids on a second shot. | |

Resident Evil: In Resident Evil (Remake), Jill can acquire one of these as a defensive weapon. In The Umbrella Chronicles, it is her counter move, frying a zombie by tazing them in the stomach. Weapons called "Stun Rods" appear in the hands of late-game mooks in Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 5. It's a bit of a misnomer, though: in 4 they do about the same amount of damage as being shot in the face with a Gatling Gun, and in 5 they instantly put you into Dying status.

The Long War 2 mod for XCOM 2 brings the Arc Thrower back as a sidearm for some classes. While it no longer KO's enemies for the entire mission, it has a significantly better range than in Enemy Unknown and uses a short cooldown rather than limited charges. A number of soldier perks let the Arc Thrower deal direct damage, incapacitate robotic enemies, and daze targets even when missing a shot. The weapon and perks have also been reused by a number of other mods. | |

The first Endless Nightmare grants you a ranged taser as the only weapon you can have, which is painfully sluggish but works decently well against the undead. You'll need to recharge it after each shot, however. In the sequels you can use firearms freely, and the stun gun is written out of the games ever since. | |

In BattleTech, the Battlemech taser is a stun gun on steroids. It uses a modified Gauss Rifle mechanism to fire two armor-piercing harpoons into enemy battlemechs, then pumps it with electricity to fry the mech's electronics, allowing it to be salvaged mostly intact. Sadly, it doesn't cause the violently twitching that a stungun causes against meatbags, as battlemech's artificial muscles are immune to it courtesy of their extreme electrical resistance. The weapon also has a small chance of feedback shocking the user, and will violently explode when damaged. | |

Most Pokémon's lightning attacks come with a paralysis side-effect. Don't count on that to have an advantage if you're not using Thunder Wave, though, but do expect paralysis to occur often on your team members. Even when the paralysis is not inflicted by an Electric-type attack (for example, Body Slam or Stun Spore), the effect is represented by electric sparks covering the victim. | |

Metroid Prime's electricity-based Wave Beam may disable the target if charged. Also, Samus' pistol in Super Smash Bros. Brawl fires a bolt of what is presumably electricity which stops foes in their tracks, complete with the coursing arcs. | |

Jade Empire's Storm Dragon style does this. It becomes a Game-Breaker for many fights, since harmonic combos with Storm Dragon usually gives you Focus drops. Focus powers your Bullet Time, so you can effectively stay unhittable and kill everything in a room in maybe 4 seconds of real-time. | |

Tomodachi Game: The main characters are knoked out by tasers for what is probably hours when they are kidnapped for the titular game. When one of those tasers appears prominently in a later arc, the effect is somewhat handwaved by claiming they are a special model much more powerful than standard. | |

Metroid: Zero Mission: Samus is shot down on her first attempt to escape Zebes; in the crash, she loses her armor and has to infiltrate the Space Pirate mothership armed with only a stun gun. The gun has a ridiculously long recharge time, and it only stuns enemies if fired with a full charge; otherwise it just ticks them off. Worse, enemies shot with a full charge only stay stunned for three seconds, after which they wake up and sound the alarm, assuming Samus isn't hidden when they do wake up (which, given the above, is rather difficult to actually manage). Samus herself lampshades the gun's many failings in monologue: | |

In Leverage, Parker loves zapping people with various tasers and other stun guns. Her old mentor/father-figure has two nearly identical specialty canes, one extends a six-inch blade from the tip, the other acts as a taser. When a hacker makes some rude comments about Parker, the old man places his cane's tip against the guy's crotch and asks him if he'd like to find out which one he was using today (later, the same guy continues making rude comments, so he hits him in the neck with it and discovers it was the taser after all). | |

Syphon Filter has the air taser, an electroshock weapon that is notable for three major attributes — firstly, it has infinite ammo, which is quite handy in an FPS. Secondly, it has infinite range — if you can see it, you can shoot it with the air taser. Finally, while stunning opponents via electric shock, holding down the trigger too long results in the victim bursting into flames while screaming loudly and spasming wildly. Fans widely consider this 'side effect' to be gruesomely hilarious. Conversely, the hand taser available in the sequel is a standard contact-type stun weapon similar to a real-life electric stun gun. It doesn't have the same range, utility, or entertainment value as the air taser, and is therefore uninteresting to expound upon. | |

Eclipse Phase has stunners, electrolasers that deal some damage and the "shock" status effect, shock batons, shock gloves, and eelware are melee weapons that do practically the same thing. Also, agonizers use microwaves to inflict incapacitating pain without damage (unless set to "roast"), and standard laser guns have a "stun" setting that uses a set of quick pulses to achieve a flashbang-like effect. | |

SWAT 4's array of less-lethal weaponry includes (with the expansion pack) two different tasers. One a standard black-and-yellow ranged taser, the other a more rounded-edges newer model, which can be used as both a ranged taser and a melee weapon (an up-close paralyzer). In terms of game mechanics, the tasers are used for non-complying suspects resisting arrest or for overly paniced civilians. (With the expansion pack, you can also avoid tasing non-compliant suspects or especially civilian NPCs, by using a slight punching melee attack to threaten them to comply.) | |

Mega Man 3 features the Spark Shock as Spark Man's weapon, which allows Mega Man to paralyze enemies that aren't immune to it. Unfortunately, it's a Useless Useful Spell by virtue of preventing weapon switching until it wears off, and dealing no damage by itself. The Game Boy version gives it a significant Balance Buff by allowing the player to switch weapons while there's a paralyzed enemy on screen. | |

GURPS: GURPS High-Tech has tasers/batons as well as taser guns — which are nearly useless against people wearing anything but normal clothing. By GURPS Ultra-Tech, the tasers have been replaced with electrolasers. Incidentally, the latter cause stunning effects only in the early editions of the game, but in 4th edition, the laser element causes a modicum of burning damage. However, attacks with the Surge modifier always force characters to roll to avoid stun if enough damage is taken. |

X-COM: The Stun Rod's Terror From The Deep equivalent, the Thermal Taser, is incredibly useful for one reason: Lobstermen, which are nigh-invulnerable, take full damage from the Taser. Since the only other weapon that does full or more damage to Lobstermen is the equally short-ranged VibroBlade weapons, the Taser can be useful if you encounter Lobstermen before you've researched either the blades or the Thermal Shok Launcher. X-COM: UFO Defense has stun rods, cattle prod-like tools used to stun aliens for capture. They can also stun your own soldiers when they get mind-controlled, or civilians to stop their tendency to run into enemy fire. XCOM: Enemy Unknown has the Arc Thrower, a short-ranged electrolaser designed and invented as a research project after you research the alien invaders' xeno-biology. It works better the less health the target has, and once the stun procs, the alien will stay unconscious until the end of the mission. Later projects in the Foundry increase its effectiveness to make stuns easier, and give it an extra role in hacking alien Drones and repairing mechanical units* SHIVs, other hacked Drones and, in Enemy Within, MEC Troopers and mind-controlled Mechtoids.. It should be noted that each of these uses consume one charge of the Arc Thrower's very limited pool. The Long War 2 mod for XCOM 2 brings the Arc Thrower back as a sidearm for some classes. While it no longer KO's enemies for the entire mission, it has a significantly better range than in Enemy Unknown and uses a short cooldown rather than limited charges. A number of soldier perks let the Arc Thrower deal direct damage, incapacitate robotic enemies, and daze targets even when missing a shot. The weapon and perks have also been reused by a number of other mods. |

In Mega Man Battle Network, paralysis is an effect typically associated with the Elec type. This works in reverse, as well, as The Paralyzer Flash Man became Elec type in MMBN3. | |

Deus Ex Universe: The stun baton in Deus Ex is electric and awesome. The first hit would stop a regular human in the ass. If the second his is applied to their buttocks then they would be knocked out. Sometimes it takes more than two hits if not applied to the behind. One of the weapons available to Adam Jensen in Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a taser pistol which, surprisingly, must be reloaded after every shot. Luckily, that's enough to take down basically any one person he fights. |

Durarara!!: Akane attacks Shizuo with one after having been told the latter would kill her father and grandfather. The model she used was given to her by Nakura under Izaya's orders and was heavily modified in order to be a lethal weapon. Unsurprisingly, all it does is sting Shizuo a little. | |

Taser units in PAYDAY: The Heist can stun you with their tasers, causing you to fire you gun uncontrollably. Unless another player kills the Taser or you happen to shoot him with your uncontrolled firing, you'll get incapacitated. The sequel keeps them the same but also adds a taser gun as a melee weapon that can stun any enemy except the Bulldozer. | |

Mega Man: Mega Man 3 features the Spark Shock as Spark Man's weapon, which allows Mega Man to paralyze enemies that aren't immune to it. Unfortunately, it's a Useless Useful Spell by virtue of preventing weapon switching until it wears off, and dealing no damage by itself. The Game Boy version gives it a significant Balance Buff by allowing the player to switch weapons while there's a paralyzed enemy on screen. In Mega Man Battle Network, paralysis is an effect typically associated with the Elec type. This works in reverse, as well, as The Paralyzer Flash Man became Elec type in MMBN3. |

Metroid: Metroid Prime's electricity-based Wave Beam may disable the target if charged. Also, Samus' pistol in Super Smash Bros. Brawl fires a bolt of what is presumably electricity which stops foes in their tracks, complete with the coursing arcs. Metroid: Zero Mission: Samus is shot down on her first attempt to escape Zebes; in the crash, she loses her armor and has to infiltrate the Space Pirate mothership armed with only a stun gun. The gun has a ridiculously long recharge time, and it only stuns enemies if fired with a full charge; otherwise it just ticks them off. Worse, enemies shot with a full charge only stay stunned for three seconds, after which they wake up and sound the alarm, assuming Samus isn't hidden when they do wake up (which, given the above, is rather difficult to actually manage). Samus herself lampshades the gun's many failings in monologue: |

Prey (2017): The RSV-77 Neuroelectric Disruptor, or simply the Disruptor, fires an arc of electricity at the target. Can be used to stun Typhon (though Voltaic Phantoms are immune), and when upgraded is surprisingly effective against Technopaths and corrupted Operators. It also of course will effectively knock out human targets, such as those under control of a Telepath. | |

In an early episode of Burn Notice, Fiona zaps a Russian mobster with a taser gun. However, since the mobster is currently grappling with her, the zap renders both of them unconscious. Note that in real life, taser guns neither cause unconsciousness, nor pass their current by physical contact with another person. | |

Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles: The Shock Stick is a melee staff weapon used by the Skinnies that delivers powerful amperages of electricity. They are capable of killing Bugs or disabling a Trooper's Power Armor. The Troopers later adopt this technology for their own use. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Kingdom Hearts has an odd example: the Thunder spell can paralyze the Trickmaster boss on contact, but the spell is typically obtained after defeating that boss if the worlds are traveled in the intended order. Kingdom Hearts II also plays with this by having the cursed pirates from Port Royal similarly vulnerable to Thunder magic. |

By GURPS Ultra-Tech, the tasers have been replaced with electrolasers. Incidentally, the latter cause stunning effects only in the early editions of the game, but in 4th edition, the laser element causes a modicum of burning damage. However, attacks with the Surge modifier always force characters to roll to avoid stun if enough damage is taken. | |

In Tomorrow Never Dies, James Bond's mobile phone includes, besides its signature ability to remote-control his Cool Car, a two-pronged electroshock weapon activated by pressing the Recall button. In a memorable case of this, Bond overcomes one of the villains by tricking him into zapping himself with it. | |
