This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. Weapons that will cause the target they hit to lose consciousness for a certain period of time. Extra points if they cause a person to be mistaken for dead by a casual observer. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Many fictional examples do not explain how they incapacitate a target, simply acting like a nonlethal version of the Instant Death Bullet. And like the Tap on the Head often used in fiction for similar purposes, they almost never cause someone to be killed accidentally. In real life, Taser weapons have infamously caused several heart attacks, although they're still much safer than coshing or shooting someone. If they intentionally cause pain, they may also be (or double as) an Agony Beam. Useful when Thou Shalt Not Kill is in effect. Ideal as Family-Friendly Firearms and often part of a Non-Lethal Warfare. However most authors don't seem to consider that even if the target is not directly harmed by the stun effect, there are many situations where suddenly losing consciousness could be dangerous. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Subtropes include Static Stun Gun for the electric-powered variant and Sonic Stunner for the sound-based version. May involve Instant Sedation (especially in the form of firearms firing tranquilizer darts). Contrast As Lethal as It Needs to Be. See The Paralyzer for a related superpower. Note: Although tranquillizer guns and taser guns are often referred to as "stun guns", the correct usage of the term is ironically tasers which are not taser guns, nor even capable of stunning people and animals. |

Used frequently in the Monster Hunter series, with Tranq Bombs, Tranq S bowgun ammo, and even Tranq Throwing Knives, required for monster capture quests. The monster has to be weakened to the brink of death for them to work, and the effects will only kick in if the monster's in a trap. | |

Slayers: Elmekia Lance is a weaked-down holy blast useful against things like demons and zombies. For what has been seen of its (usually accidental) use on humans, they tend to be knocked out cold. It's safe to assume the Ra Tilt does something similar, on a grander scale. | |

In Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order, heroes that have attacks that are rated 'A' in stagger (these are almost always a Dash Attack) will usually only have a 'C' in damage. These attacks do average damage, but will greatly deplete a boss or Elite Mook's stagger gauge. | |

Chuck: Every time tranquilizers are used, unless the victim is Badass Normal Casey. When they have to tranquilize Jeff and Lester, Lester goes down instantly but Jeff takes multiple darts and a few minutes to lose consciousness. Jeff is a bigger guy and his past drug use made him more resistant. The eponymous character himself is more wont to use tranquilizer darts as opposed to actual guns to (temporarily) take out bad guys. They always cause harmless Instant Sedation. |

Apparently confirmed in Star Trek: Enterprise, where it's revealed that Andorians, due to their higher metabolic rate, are much more susceptible to phaser fire than humans. Even a graze from anything set above stun is potentially lethal to them, which a human could simply shrug off with some minor burns. | |

Metal Gear Solid V gives us the Wu Silent pistol, which is the silenced tranquiliser pistol that's been a staple of the series since Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and the Urugan-5, which fills the role the Rubber Slug Shotgun did in Peace Walker, except as a 5-shot revolver. It's also possible to develop rifles that fire rubber bullets. | |

Although Dexter consistently uses a syringe up-close, there is one episode involving a tranquilizer dart. The target is an animal control worker who is holding a tranquilizer gun loaded to take down an alligator. Presumably resistant to the effect of tranquilizers from personal experience, he has enough time to shoot Dexter with it before he collapses. Dexter also has a bit of time to pull the dart out before losing consciousness. They both wake up in an ambulance with some really worried EMTs. | |

The sequel Invisible War kept these weapons, although the electric prod became worthless while the simple plastic stick is absolutely terrifying in close combat. Also added was a player-controlled drone that could self-destruct with an electric stun blast. Two drones would down most enemies. A definitive game breaker in that the player could easily find a source of unlimited power in most maps from which all enemies could be neutralized without any danger to the player. | |

The Simpsons: In the season 1 episode "The Call of the Simpsons", Homer is mistaken for Bigfoot and hit with a tranquilizer dart. He has enough time to say "Avenge my death, son," before falling asleep, snoring noticeably. Bart has just been "taken" by a monkey at a local zoo, and Homer tries to save him by putting a tranq-dart into a tube and putting it into his mouth. He then inhales, and it gets self-explanatory after that. In another episode Barney is shot with a bear tranquilizer dart. He actually pulls out the dart and drinks the remaining sedative before passing out averting Instant Sedation. |

Metal Gear Solid 2 saw Snake infiltrating the tanker armed only with a modified Beretta M9 designed to fire anesthetic darts. Suitable weaponry for infiltrating a tanker filled with loyal US Marines, less suitable weaponry for infiltrating a tanker now filled with faceless terrorists. Ironically, the lethal weapons were almost universally outclassed by the M9 since it's perfectly silent, and enemy soldiers finding unconscious guards didn't sound an alarm. Not to mention in most cases you only needed one dart per guard; a soldier hit in the arm by the M9 would walk around for a bit and then fall asleep. A soldier hit in the arm with lethal weapons would sound an alarm and return fire. It's less useful on higher difficultly settings, as the effect wouldn't last all that long. It's more useful for gaining dogtags, however — a tranquilized guard's tags can be stolen once he wakes up, a dead one's are off-limits until you go far away enough from the room he's in that he respawns. Later in the game it's possible to find a "PSG1-T", a version of the Sniper Rifle that fires tranquillizer darts, and the end game high-frequency blade has a stun setting (beating people with the blunt side of the blade, presumably). These exist solely to enable Pacifist Runs. In the fourth game you have a Ruger Mk II and can unlock the Solar Gun, which is unable to damage anyone (except Vamp) but is very good at stunning and knocking down opponents. In the fourth game, you have a stun knife. You can also stun people by sneaking up on them with Metal Gear Mk. II and smacking them with its manipulator. The third game (and its sequels Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker) had the Mk22 and Mosin Nagant. The latter is also in MGS4, and Peace Walker also has a stun rod in place of MGS3's knife, as well as a shotgun that fires rubber slugs. Metal Gear Solid V gives us the Wu Silent pistol, which is the silenced tranquiliser pistol that's been a staple of the series since Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and the Urugan-5, which fills the role the Rubber Slug Shotgun did in Peace Walker, except as a 5-shot revolver. It's also possible to develop rifles that fire rubber bullets. |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Early on, Fitz develops an Instant Sedation-causing but entirely nonlethal neurotoxin that can be packed into hollow bullets and fired from guns that greatly resemble normal firearms, initially rifles but later pistols. After the technology is perfected the agents use it in place of lethal guns almost exclusively. (How they continue to manufacture and stock this unusual ammunition despite their other resource problems goes unexplained.) The first rifle is initially named, to much ridicule, the "Night-Night Gun", but later they come up with the much cooler acronym I.C.E.R.s. | |

The MythBusters once took on the notion of a water-based stun gun, with some success. However, they determined that the device they created was, in fact, more likely to kill anyone you shot with it than to stun them. Also, the only way they could make it work at all was to fire it from inside a giant specialized lightning generator, and they only had one shot. | |

Lyrical Nanoha has two types of damage: Physical and Magical. Physical damage can kill you, while Magical damage will only knock you out at most. The latter is the reason why Nanoha can make friends by blowing them up with a high-powered magical beam of pure energy. Inexplicably, these same attacks are perfectly capable of damaging inanimate objects, so one can survive having the entire area around destroyed. In The Movie, Nanoha explicitly sets Raising Heart to stun. | |

Grand Theft Auto V has a stun gun as one of the available weapons. It won't set your targets on fire, but downing someone with it is basically the same as killing them with a conventional firearm-they won't get back up, and other characters will react the same as if you had shot the target with a real gun. | |

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. | |

G.I. Joe, one of the granddaddies of Family-Friendly Firearms, actually showed this... only twice. Once when a character was hit by a laser during a training exercise (and failed to be actually stunned, merely yelping in pain), and once during a closeup of a Joe setting the power slider on a pistol from "stun" to "max." A-Team Firing seemed to be their preferred form of less-lethal attack. | |

The Stupefy spell from Harry Potter renders the target unconscious when the right amount of power is put into it, and most victims are shown being magically revived with no side-effects. Taking multiple hits at once, however, is not advised, especially for older people— Professor McGonagall needed a hospital stay after such an experience in Order of the Phoenix. If the caster if puts enough energy behind the spell or the individual being hit is too weak the spell can be fatal, as it was when Molly Weasley used it against Bellatrix Lestrange in Deathly Hallows. | |

Alpha Protocol has tranquilizer rounds for the pistol, which does fixed (very low) damage against human foes (and even less so against body armour) with its only advantage being that it counts as nonlethal incapacitation. They're even usable against bosses, although they will simply be treated as regular (but much less damaging) bullets against them and subsequent cutscenes will ignore said bosses being hopped up on enough tranquilizer to put a herd of elephants to sleep. This means that if you bring down Darcy with them in the endgame, he'll presumably suffer an allergic reaction to them since he dies anyway. | |

The Genesis version of Jurassic Park limited Dr. Grant exclusively to non-lethal guns like tranquilizers, tasers, grenades and sedative-laced rockets, only the last of which put down dinosaurs indefinitely.

Played straight in the Ultimate Spider-Man video game when Silver Sable tries to kidnap Peter Parker by knocking him out with a couple of tranquilizer darts... for a few minutes anyway. Then his enhanced metabolism kicks in allowing him to wake up earlier than he was supposed to and resist all subsequent shots. Cue boss battle where he has to fight off both Silver Sable and her mercenaries while trying not to succumb to the effects of the tranquilizers in his system. | |

Used in three episodes of the Total Drama series: In "Wawanakwa Gone Wild!", Izzy uses them in a gun to try and bring down the animal she has to capture, a deer. Unfortunately, Heather is hiding behind a bush wearing deer antlers — Izzy only sees the antlers and shoots her by mistake. In "Search and Do Not Destroy", Owen comes back to the campgrounds sticking out of a bear's mouth. Chris uses the darts to sedate the bear, but he gets Owen, too. In "Dial M for Merger", Duncan gets shot in the neck with a dart when the interns have to drag the remaining contestants to a cave as part of the challenge. |

All Mixed Up!: In addition to her lifeline attached to her belt buckle that can turn people into personalized anagrammed objects and back again, Mariana Mag has a stun gun that she attempts to use on Otto in order to prevent him from going back to the few agents left of Precinct 13579 and warning them about her. The gun can both stun its targets and "unstun" them at will, and the villainess manages to hit Oscar's legs with it as well as leave Otto paralyzed on the right side of his body. | |

In the Splinter Cell series, Sam's rifle fires a variety of knock-out weapons, including electric bullets, airfoil rounds (which work via blunt trauma to the head), and gas grenades. Chaos Theory has a level where the enemies are equipped with the airfoil rounds. Sam correctly identifies these as "Less-Than-Lethal" weapons; they are definitely not non-lethal. Also in Chaos Theory, the captain of the ship in the second mission actually dies if you try to knock him out (presumably from a heart condition or something). It doesn't count as a kill in your mission stats, but if you look at his body in thermal vision you can see it cooling down to corpse temperature. Same with one of the mafiosos in Kalinatek in the first game guarding the computer to open the fire doors. |

The Firaxis remake replaces the Stun Rod with the Arc Thrower, which must be researched first after performing an autopsy on an alien (which determines that their central nervous system is similar to ours). The Arc Thrower is not a melee weapon, but it must be fired at a very close range. The basic Arc Thrower only has a 70% chance of working, though, and you only get 2 shots with it per mission. Once you build the Foundry, you can upgrade the Arc Thrower to have a higher chance of stunning an alien (and also make it work on new types of aliens). The weapon is best used by the Assault class who have the Lightning Reflex ability, allowing them to dodge the first alien Overwatch shot (i.e. they can run up to the enemy and use the Arc Thrower without being shot). | |

Spider-Man (PS4): There's a scene in the DLC where Yuri Watanabe, formerly Spidey's Friend on the Force, is attempting to shoot Hammerhead to death, but Peter tries to prevent her from doing so. 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. | |

Gas Grenades are a weapon that can be used by the crew-player in the boardgame The Awful Green Things From Outer Space; the effect on the Things (good, bad or indifferent) is randomly determined for each game, but any crew present when one gets set off are knocked unconscious for a turn. | |

You can craft these in ARK: Survival Evolved, an arrow-based version for your bow and crossbow and two bullet-based versions for the longneck rifle. Despite the numerous fantastical elements in the game, these darts are treated fairly realistically — larger creatures need multiple darts to knock unconscious, and the effect isn't instantaneous (though still extremely fast, but that's a concession to gameplay). | |

Second Sight has people staggering around for a few moments after being hit with tranquillizer darts,then reacting like they have been punched in the chest and falling over. Hitting them in the head takes them down instantly. It's worth noting that on the few occasions where you're shot with one yourself, it slowly saps your health rather than knocking you out (although the game treats knocked out enemies more or less the same as dead ones and the cutscenes that play after you're defeated would indicate that you survive whatever takes you down). | |

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has a sequence where Rocket deals with a bunch of attackers using traps including tranq dart launchers. In this case Instant Sedation makes sense, since the dart launchers almost look like military missile launchers and thus each victim gets hit with almost a dozen darts at once. | |

The Pink Berets from Hop have blowguns with sedative darts as their primary weapon. A patrolman near the Hollywood sign gets one dart to the neck, resulting in Instant Sedation. Two large dogs living beside a mansion where the Pink Berets' quarry is staying also get one dart each. Finally, The Hero discovers them in the mansion's kitchen, whereupon he receives a salvo of six darts to the face. | |

The already-absurd-in-many-ways Vin Diesel vehicle xXx takes this particular trope to an absurd degree, with the movie's version of Q giving Xander Cage a gun with an assortment of incredibly expensive "specialized" ammunition with various bizarre functions, including a highly complex bullet that not only knocks out its target with a harmless tranquilizer but contains a blood-squib to create the flawless illusion of an actual shooting to any witnesses. Xander Cage, of course, is almost immediately given the opportunity to use these in a staged assassination. | |

She has never given anyone more than a few hours of unconsciousness (at least, that's all she's done with the taser...). However, she accidentally killed her grandma with it. Tasers don't go well with the elderly apparently. |

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. | |

In Star Wars: Allegiance, Mara Jade confronts a shady warehouse dealer who doesn't believe her when she tells him that he's not going to like the penalties for assaulting an Imperial agent. He orders his thugs to restrain her. One of them pokes her with the muzzle of his blaster just before firing; she twists around and uses the Force and some fancy moves to shoot all of the thugs, ending with the one who poked her, with that blaster, and aims it at the warehouse dealer. All very quickly. | |

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. |

The Business from Fortuna in Warframe sells tranq rifles used for animal conservation across the game's landscape areas. These rifles shoot darts that travel in arcs and cause animals hit with them to fall unconscious in seconds, ready to pick up by a drone. Most critters need just one tranq to pacify regardless of size, though heavier ones like stovers may require up to three. | |

Schlock Mercenary has a few; "Difference-tone stunners" exist, summarized here, but they're disdained as they're useless for intimidation: The "M3 Tater" is even worse, as all the hoops one has to jump through to make a weapon completely non-lethal make it all but useless as a weapon. While not traditional stun weapons, "goobers" are common incapacitation weapons. Instead of bothering with rays and difference tones, they just shoot high-tech goop at people that sticks them to walls. The goop makes use of nanomachines so that it will migrate off faces to make sure the victim doesn't suffocate. Goober guns are great against civilians, but shields easily block them and Powered Armor is usually strong enough to break free. |

Minority Report: Since the premise is centered around law enforcement, the film shows off quite a few nonlethal weapons. The closest thing they have to a stun gun is a gun that shoots a huge shockwave of air powerful enough to blow people across the room. Another hilarious example is the Sick Stick. It's a nightstick that causes a person to instantly vomit. |

In the X-Universe, 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 Guardian Blue, a Zootopia fanfic, tranq darts are frequently used by the ZPD, but they're shown to have their limitations: In Season 1, part of the plot revolves around the season's Big Bad spiking elephants' ice cream with a substance to render them immune to tranq darts after he turns them savage. In Season 3, Cherry armours herself against tranq darts by spraying her fur with epoxy. The first time she takes on the ZPD, Judy and Nick only manage to take her down by putting darts in her joints - the few areas she couldn't epoxy. The second time, Chief Tora has to pin her down before Judy and Nick can tranq her again.. Also from Season 3, it's mentioned that tranquilizers can be health hazards, which is why ZPD Medic Surikata panics and gives Cherry a tranq diffuser - though he should have asked why they'd dosed her so much. Judy also figures that the reason Clawhauser is the only Precinct 1 officer other than her to have killed someone in the line of duty is because he tranqed a suspect and it reacted badly to them, resulting in their death. |

In Jungle 2 Jungle, Mimi-Siku brings his blowgun and several darts with him to New York. His father's aim proves rather questionable, as he tries to practice with it and ends up shooting his own foot. And his fiancée's cat. And his best friend's wife. | |

In the fourth game you have a Ruger Mk II and can unlock the Solar Gun, which is unable to damage anyone (except Vamp) but is very good at stunning and knocking down opponents. In the fourth game, you have a stun knife. You can also stun people by sneaking up on them with Metal Gear Mk. II and smacking them with its manipulator. |

Dungeons & Dragons naturally has its share of this (especially in earlier editions with their plentiful save-or-die effects, where merely falling unconscious for an hour or two from a single failed saving throw could be considered positively merciful). The most iconic example are probably drow hand crossbows and their small but typically sleep drug-coated quarrels. Fiend Folio. The red urchin fired spines tipped with a venom that put victims that failed a saving throw to sleep for 1-4 minutes. |

One unique aspect to Mortal Kombat as a fighting game is the prevalence of moves that make an enemy helpless, with the most famous being Subzero's Ice Ball and Scorpion's Harpoon. In contrast, many other fighting games only feature stunning when a character takes too many heavy damage hits in a short time or else the stunning moves are restricted to Super Attacks such as in Darkstalkers 3. As for actual stun guns, Stryker will use one during his X-Ray attack in Mortal Kombat 9. | |

Fallout 3 has the Dart Gun, a makeshift crossbow that fires throwing darts (the kind used in pubs) tipped with radscorpion venom. The damage is pitiful, but it cripples the target's limbs completely, preventing them from moving or fighting effectively (note that radscorpion venom administered the natural way — from a radscorpion stinger — causes damage over time, not paralysis). | |

The Venture Bros.: In general, one of The Monarch's preferred weapons for him and his minions. He has knockout darts for his nemesis and lethal darts for his minions. You would think he has this backwards, but no. Subverted in the first episode; Brock takes about a dozen butterfly darts, and only goes down when hit with a truck. Of course, it is Brock. The pirate captain has an addiction to tranquillizer darts in the episode "The Lepidopterists." 24's attempt to kill Hank in the episode "Tears of the Sea Cow" are averted because he didn't know his rifle only shot tranquillizer darts. |

Done realistically in a mission for Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, in which your GDI riot troops are equipped with rubber bullets to put down protests. Using one causes protestors to give up and go home, while using too many will kill the target (and lose you the mission). Again in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, the training levels have your troops clearly shooting at other Allied troops, with the justification being that everyone on the field is using rubber bullets. |

Stargate SG-1: The team make use of Goa'uld-made semi-lethal stun guns, called "Zat'nik'tel" or "Zats": one shot will knock the target out (originally an Agony Beam but no longer starting around season three), two shots are fatal, and three shots completely vaporize a body or a light object. The show's creators later regretted adding the third function, so the Zat never gets used this way anymore. There are also some training weapons called Intars. An intar is a close replica of another weapon, but with stun bursts instead of whatever the weapon normally fires, and is identifiable by a yellow light on the weapon. (This is because the war games were a know-your-enemy sort of thing; they were first encountered at a Goa'uld mock-up of an army camp, with all the soldiers given human names, etc.) And in Stargate Atlantis, all of the Wraith's handheld weaponry are alien stun-guns. Justified in that the Wraith eat their human enemies alive by draining their Life Energy, so they wouldn't want any wasteful deaths. Well, they do have heavier weaponry, but they only break that out in cases of extreme resistance or in order to teach humans a lesson (e.g. such as on Sateda). Ronon's pistol also has various power settings, which at the lower end seem to act in a similar manner. Ronon being Ronon, however, he often has to be reminded to take it off of the highest kill setting. When Sheppard later encounters the Travelers, he finds out that they have the same weapons, implying that Ronon has somehow obtained a Traveler gun (or they both shop at the same arms dealer). The Bedrosians in "New Ground" also have staff-like weapons that fire a yellow knockout blast. Their shields also double as stunners. The Tollan, being Technical Pacifists, equip their security personnel with triangle-shaped stun guns. |

Similarly, in one episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, we see Miles O'Brien contemplating suicide. He cycles the phaser through about five yellow settings and then five red settings to what we can only assume is 'Maximum Kill', if we go by the Technical Manuals, maximum setting (setting 16) on a phaser will vaporize both him and the entire room he's in. In keeping with the show's darker tone, Deep Space Nine actually downplayed phasers as a safe means to disable someone, generally treating them as "minimally lethal" rather than safely non-lethal. With a few early exceptions, phasering someone was always treated as serious rather than a safely reliable Tap on the Head. The justification seemed to be that most non-Federation species (such as the Bajorans or Ferengi) don't have an explicit stun setting on their phasers, and Federation weapons are mentioned as being complex and difficult to maintain compared to everyone else's. |

The season 3 finale of Archer features "ion pulse" weapons that are supposed to be this. In a bit of a deconstruction, they actually stop your heart and affected persons need immediate defibrillation ("So... 'stun' may be a bit of a misnomer").

In the first trailer for Zootopia, Judy uses one on Nick after he trips her. This is clearly a case of Artistic License – Biology, because the trailer goes out of its way to identify the dart as an "air-powered elephant tranquilizer" which would be clearly fatal if used on a small fox. Also, the sedative appears to be in the feathered end, as a wildebeest eats that part while Judy is arresting Nick and keels over before she has a chance to warn it. | |

Agent Grant uses a cattle prod as a taser during a bank robbery in Curveball. He later mentions that he wouldn't have bothered with the cattle prod if he'd known that their helmets weren't padded, which meant that tapping them on the head was far more effective than he thought it would be. | |

Phineas and Ferb: In the episode "Bad Hair Day" multiple darts are fired to subdue what seem to be orangutans. (Accidental victims of the boys' latest invention, actually.) However, only two people are hit. An Animal Control worker, and Doofensmirtz. While the worker barely has enough time to say he's going to pass out, Doofenshmirtz is able to make it most of the way through a musical number he himself sings, then passes out (in 17 seconds as he predicts). | |

In an episode of The Red Green Show, Ed Frid once shot himself in the foot with a tranquilizer dart and remained conscious long enough to calculate how long he would sleep, give Red instructions on how to deal with the animal they'd captured and lay down comfortably. | |

Heat Signature has concussive guns, and are the only type of guns Offworld Security will use against infiltrators. They work just like regular firearms, but leave their targets unconscious instead of dead, making them useful for Bloodless clauses, and always come with the Rechargeable tag, so one will always have 16 shots of a concussive gun after stopping by a station. However, they must be unlocked in order to purchase them (and getting an Offworld Security mission or ship isn't always guaranteed), they do not use standard ammo (so those 16 shots will also be the only shots you have in that gun for that mission), are never Piercing (meaning armored enemies are almost immune to them), and are subject to the rest of the drawbacks of firearms. | |

In Final Fantasy VII Remake, the Focus series of abilities such as Barret's Focused Shot. These types of abilities have poor damage (comparable to a few weak hits in a combo) but they do a large amount of damage to an enemy's Stagger Gauge especially if the enemy is being pressured, whereas all your other attacks that don't exploit a weakness will barely make a tick. | |

In The Journeyman Project, a robot shoots Agent 5 with one just after he enters one of the time zones, and he has to make an antidote to neutralize it before exploring the rest of the time zone. When the dart is analyzed, the tranquilizer in question is listed as dimenhydrinate, which would presumably render Agent 5 unconscious, rather than kill him. Later on, Agent 5 can also steal the robot's dart gun and use it to take down the Big Bad at the endgame. | |

Batman Before they learned about each others' secret identity, Bruce Wayne tried to use a tranquilizer gun on Clark Kent so he could change into his cape and cowl. This was when Bruce finally realized Clark was Superman. Batman also used an incredible amount of darts in Batman: The Cult. In fact, he loaded turrets and rifles with them, basically using them in pretty much the same way everyone else would use bullets. It sure is lucky that nobody can die from the wrong dosage of sedatives, eh? |

Phasers in the Star Trek franchise developed with the times. The original series featured a stun setting (which would handily knock out any non-godlike humanoid) and a kill setting which would make things go away (unless, again, the target was just plain immune).In "Omega Glory", Spock is too near the blast radius of a disintegrating phaser shot. He recovers, but from Kirk and McCoy's reactions, there was a good chance that he could have been killed. "The Man Trap" and "The Conscience of the King" featured lethal settings that left a body, with no visible damage, as per typical television standards of the time. Something similar may have featured in "What Are Little Girls Made Of", when an android has a hole shot in it, revealing its electronic workings. Ironically, this is the first episode to show disintegration. On the other hand, phasers also could heat rocks (or heat coffee) as a story might allow, which might have involved a special toast setting unmentioned in the canon media.In one of the episode novelizations, Yeoman Rand uses a phaser on a low setting to heat coffee when the power is out, somewhat to Kirk's surprise (and approval). An intermediate "Heat" setting was mentioned in the TNG Technical Manual. "A Piece of the Action" established that phasers having stun settings isn't limited to just guns—the Enterprise is entirely capable of non-lethal orbital bombardment. After The Undiscovered Country, it became canon that movie-era phasers on Stun could kill at point blank range (to the head). On occasion, phasers have been set to "maximum stun" when facing unusually tough enemies, which is implied to have a higher risk of killing someone. Scriptwriter guidelines for The Next Generation specified hand-phasers had about ten settings, from give someone a headache to vaporize a chunk of granite. They started making marks on walls around 3 or 4. This was later expanded to sixteen settings, with level 3 capable of knocking an average humanoid unconscious for about an hour and level 7 treated as deadly force. Similarly, in one episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, we see Miles O'Brien contemplating suicide. He cycles the phaser through about five yellow settings and then five red settings to what we can only assume is 'Maximum Kill', if we go by the Technical Manuals, maximum setting (setting 16) on a phaser will vaporize both him and the entire room he's in. In keeping with the show's darker tone, Deep Space Nine actually downplayed phasers as a safe means to disable someone, generally treating them as "minimally lethal" rather than safely non-lethal. With a few early exceptions, phasering someone was always treated as serious rather than a safely reliable Tap on the Head. The justification seemed to be that most non-Federation species (such as the Bajorans or Ferengi) don't have an explicit stun setting on their phasers, and Federation weapons are mentioned as being complex and difficult to maintain compared to everyone else's. In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode "North Star" a mook from a primitive Space Western society puts a revolver to T'Pol's head, holding her hostage. Reed simply stuns T'Pol, then the mook while he's still gaping at Reed's apparently ruthless action. In Enterprise, and sometimes Voyager, phasers and similar weapons can be seen to have no effect at all, maybe causing a slight limp from a shoulder wound (Enterprise pilot). So they work a bit like electrolasers, maybe? Stun grenades, utilizing phaser technology, have also been featured in Enterprise. In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Hunted", certain humans in the military of the planet Angosia are altered to increase their fighting abilities, and are also resistant to phaser stun. In the episode "Encounter at Farpoint", Q of all people calls the Enterprise's bridge crew out on this by pointing out that there are species to whom even a phaser's "stun" setting could be potentially fatal. Granted, it's Q, but here he may just have a point. Apparently confirmed in Star Trek: Enterprise, where it's revealed that Andorians, due to their higher metabolic rate, are much more susceptible to phaser fire than humans. Even a graze from anything set above stun is potentially lethal to them, which a human could simply shrug off with some minor burns. Whether or not being hit by a phaser actually hurts seems to vary depending on story needs. In one Body Horror moment from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, a character turns his phaser, set to kill, on himself and endures an agonizing death as his body is burned away. In the 2009 film, switching a hand phaser to stun actually causes the muzzle to flip itself around; stun shots are fired from a blue lens and kill shots from a red one. Star Trek: Picard. In "The End is the Beginning", one character picks up a Romulan disruptor and uses it on a Romulan assassin. She's never shot anyone before, and is visibly distressed when informed that Romulan weapons don't have a stun setting. |

Maya somehow holds the charge from it into the next day, and zaps Phoenix, Edgeworth, and Gumshoe in the courtroom lobby, though it isn't strong enough to knock them out. | |

Inverted in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars. The player can purchase a "Teaser", which shocks your target for as long as you hold the trigger. Hold it too long, though, and they'll burst into flame, instantly giving you a one-star Wanted level. Grand Theft Auto V has a stun gun as one of the available weapons. It won't set your targets on fire, but downing someone with it is basically the same as killing them with a conventional firearm-they won't get back up, and other characters will react the same as if you had shot the target with a real gun. |

Daredevil (2015): Leland Owlsley has a stun gun that he drags out of storage once the man in the mask starts causing problems for Hell's Kitchen organized crime. He uses it to great effect on Matt Murdock when Matt is distracted by Stick's sudden appearance. In the season 1 finale, Leland tries to use it on Wilson Fisk, who shrugs it off and kills him by throwing him down an elevator shaft. The Kitchen Irish members that corner Frank Castle at the carousel in "Penny and Dime" use tasers to subdue him. |

Case Closed: Conan's wrist-watch tranquilizer needle gun. The victim barely has time to mumble a few words before keeling over. So far, there have been very few characters who have proven resistant to it. When it happens, it catches Conan completely off-guard. Gin shot himself in the arm to overcome the sedation with a rush of pain and adrenaline. | |

The original series featured a stun setting (which would handily knock out any non-godlike humanoid) and a kill setting which would make things go away (unless, again, the target was just plain immune).In "Omega Glory", Spock is too near the blast radius of a disintegrating phaser shot. He recovers, but from Kirk and McCoy's reactions, there was a good chance that he could have been killed. "The Man Trap" and "The Conscience of the King" featured lethal settings that left a body, with no visible damage, as per typical television standards of the time. Something similar may have featured in "What Are Little Girls Made Of", when an android has a hole shot in it, revealing its electronic workings. Ironically, this is the first episode to show disintegration. On the other hand, phasers also could heat rocks (or heat coffee) as a story might allow, which might have involved a special toast setting unmentioned in the canon media.In one of the episode novelizations, Yeoman Rand uses a phaser on a low setting to heat coffee when the power is out, somewhat to Kirk's surprise (and approval). An intermediate "Heat" setting was mentioned in the TNG Technical Manual. "A Piece of the Action" established that phasers having stun settings isn't limited to just guns—the Enterprise is entirely capable of non-lethal orbital bombardment. |

Discussed in Malcolm in the Middle, where trapped with a pair of lions, Malcolm shoots down the zoo personnel's idea of tranquilizing them on the grounds that the beasts would have just enough time to get angry and tear them apart (the show puts it at three minutes, which is almost certainly selling the lions short, but it's the thought that counts). | |

The Soldier. When the Soldier's unit are taking over an ICBM base, they use a full-auto version (actually a LARC International M19-A BB gun) to fire several darts into a guard.

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. | |

In The Several Journeys of Reemus: Chapter two, Reemus is shot from offscreen by a dart so loaded with sedative that it actually sprays a considerable amount on Liam when it hits. Liam has just enough time to identify the sedative before he, too, is shot and goes under. Later on, they have to collect a sample of it (it's a type of honey made by a particular bee, which is so potent that even a small amount contains enough sugar to induce a temporary diabetic coma) to exploit its faux-sedative properties. | |

Metal Gear Solid: Hitting somebody in the head or the heart with the tranquilizing weapons (that is, not the stun grenades or the taser-like weapons) knocks out instantly while hitting the belly or the limbs delays the effect. Some of the boss characters are bizarrely resilient to tranquilizer rounds, though, and can take several rounds to the head before passing out, even though Otacon insists that the tranquilizer rounds are potent enough to knock out an elephant. It's worth pointing out that the same bosses can take a similar number of bullets to the head without dying. | |

Although she quickly begins to feel shaky, she can still hurry (albeit with Simon's help) into the corridor behind and continues to stand, shielded from Reavers by Simon while Zoe and Jayne struggle to close the blast doors. Only when Simon helps lie her down does she comment she's beginning to lose feeling.

Then he gets tranq'd again before he gets put into the shipping crate, resulting in a sped-up version of the aforementioned sequence!

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 taser. It doesn't have the same range, utility, or entertainment value as the air taser, and is therefore uninteresting to expound upon. | |

The Punisher: At one point (probably not anymore) the Punisher carried "mercy bullets" for use on interfering superheroes and bystanders. Spider-Man was once shot at point blank range with one; considering that even a blank can kill under circumstances like that... Then again most heroes are Made of Iron which allows them to shrug off being shot by actual bullets, and Spider-Man has Super Toughness. |

In Ninja Gaiden (NES), after Ryu takes care of the first boss, he is approached by Irene Lew (who goes unnamed at that point). He tells her to go away, and she appears to comply...only to pull out a tranquilizer gun and shoot Ryu. Since a bang is heard, and you only see Ryu’s shocked face, it would seem as if Ryu died. Cue Act 2, where Ryu wakes up in a cell, and Irene gives Ryu a statue, telling him to escape. This begins the next stage. | |

The Irbzrkian shock gun in The Jenkinsverse is a less-lethal short range weapon designed to pacify humans. Humans being a species of insanely resilient deathworlders, it is emphatically not a less-lethal alternative when used on anybody else. | |

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. | |

Doctor Who: "The Daleks" has the Daleks' weapons shown to have a secondary "stun" function which is used on one of the Doctor's companions. However, it should be noted that the blast does not render him unconscious, it only temporarily paralyzes his legs. In their defense, Ian was pretty stunned when they blasted him. The Fourth Doctor gets knocked out by such a weapon in "The Ark in Space". "Stun guns; I hate them." K9's nose blaster had a stun setting, which the Doctor naturally preferred to the more lethal options. "Cold Blood" has a Taser. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome when the person hit with it ends up dying from repeated shocks. In "Hell Bent", the Doctor snatches the sidearm from a Gallifreyan general. He's told; "That's the sidearm of the President's personal security. There isn't a stun setting." He shoots the General anyway, though not before checking that he's got some regenerations left. So this trope is played straight, yet also averted to show OOC Is Serious Business, as the Doctor doesn't like guns and prefers to avoid killing anyone. |

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. | |

Blake's 7. In "Project Avalon", Blake is shot during the dramatic rescue of a Rebel Leader from a detention center. His injuries are only minor however, so he has Avon examine a captured weapon. The rebel leader is actually an android impersonator. In "Volcano", the Pyroans use a pistol that fires a narcotic spray into the air above their target, drifting down as a mist and rendering them unconscious. However when fired directly at a person, the concentrated dosage kills them. The Bloodless Carnage in the final episode (except for one actor who insisted he be Killed Off for Real) was so the producers could bring the characters back to life if the series was renewed another season, by saying that stun guns had been used. |

Deus Ex JC's mini-crossbow in the first game can be loaded with Tranquilizer Darts which can knock a target out cold indefinitely when shot in the head, otherwise the victim will run around yelling for help before falling unconscious. When the PC is shot with a tranquilizer dart, it causes the screen to darken and sway, but the nanotechnology takes care of the venom fairly rapidly. Of course the game is about lies and conspiracy and those tranquilizer darts are in all probability some form of lethal poison. Which is why you take damage when you are hit by them. Adam Jensen continues, or rather set the precedent for JC to follow in Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and has access to a tranquillizer rifle. |

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. | |

In Dragon Half, Rosario shoots Mink with a knockout dart and she instantly falls. Then Rosario puts two more darts into her right away, setting up a gag where he and the king think Mink died from the overdose.

Spectrum-issue sidearms have a stun setting in Gerry Anderson's New Captain Scarlet, which is a mild bowdlerisation from the original 1960s version. It is mild because they also have a clearly-marked KILL setting which appears to be the default, and the on-screen body count is not noticeably lower. | |

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 gave it a significant Balance Buff by allowing the player to switch weapons while there's a paralyzed enemy on screen. | |

In The Legend of Korra, the Equalist shock glove is a Static Stun Gun in Power Palm form, designed to give the Equalists' nonbender forces an edge over enemies like the armored metalbending police. It becomes the Weapon of Choice of Asami Sato, Team Avatar's token Badass Normal. | |

And in Stargate Atlantis, all of the Wraith's handheld weaponry are alien stun-guns. Justified in that the Wraith eat their human enemies alive by draining their Life Energy, so they wouldn't want any wasteful deaths. Well, they do have heavier weaponry, but they only break that out in cases of extreme resistance or in order to teach humans a lesson (e.g. such as on Sateda). | |

GURPS: High-Tech has tasers/batons as well as taser guns — which are nearly useless against people wearing anything but normal clothing. By Ultra-Tech they've 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. | |

The XCOM series has many weapons that only cause stun damage so you can collect live aliens. The first game started the player off with the melee-only Stun Rod, which was of at best limited use aside from an occasional attack of opportunity, while the other side had a sort of Techno Babble-powered flashbang fired from a small grenade launcher. Apocalypse addressed this by providing the taser-like Stun Grapple and Stun Gas grenades. 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. The Firaxis remake replaces the Stun Rod with the Arc Thrower, which must be researched first after performing an autopsy on an alien (which determines that their central nervous system is similar to ours). The Arc Thrower is not a melee weapon, but it must be fired at a very close range. The basic Arc Thrower only has a 70% chance of working, though, and you only get 2 shots with it per mission. Once you build the Foundry, you can upgrade the Arc Thrower to have a higher chance of stunning an alien (and also make it work on new types of aliens). The weapon is best used by the Assault class who have the Lightning Reflex ability, allowing them to dodge the first alien Overwatch shot (i.e. they can run up to the enemy and use the Arc Thrower without being shot). |

X-COM 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. |

Parts of the Star Wars Legends note various drawbacks and side effects. The "expanding and shrinking blue rings" special effect is taken to mean that stun settings have far less range than the usual Slow Lasers of kill settings. The Thrawn Trilogy, when Thrawn's forces are out to capture a pregnant Leia, reveals that they can't just stun her, since it sometimes causes miscarriages. In the X-Wing Series Corran Horn is stunned and is conscious but paralyzed until it wears off, unhappily remembering that this happens to him sometimes when he gets stunned. Survivor's Quest has the Aurek Seven stormtroopers checking someone they'd just stunned for heart palpitations. In Star Wars: Allegiance, Mara Jade confronts a shady warehouse dealer who doesn't believe her when she tells him that he's not going to like the penalties for assaulting an Imperial agent. He orders his thugs to restrain her. One of them pokes her with the muzzle of his blaster just before firing; she twists around and uses the Force and some fancy moves to shoot all of the thugs, ending with the one who poked her, with that blaster, and aims it at the warehouse dealer. All very quickly. During Galaxy of Fear, Tash wants an Actual Pacifist to shoot someone with a blaster pistol set to stun, telling her that this isn't breaking the rules of nonviolence, just bending them. In a later book, she takes a blaster from one of Vader's stormtroopers and uses it to resolve a Spot the Impostor plot—and finds that it's set to stun. |

Family Guy: In "The Thin White Line", Peter's boss devises a contest for the company picnic, which involves taking shots at the employees with a tranq rifle and seeing who can last the longest. Most of the employees drop like stones the moment they get shot... except for Peter, who ends up with more than a dozen tranquillizer needles stuck in him, and still manages to stay conscious long enough to win the contest. It would seem that this is either due to his relatively high body mass, which (in theory) would require longer for the chemicals to spread through his body, or due to the increased amount of fatty deposits, which would help isolate the venom from his bloodstream. In "A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas", when Stewie manages to calm down Lois after she reaches her Rage Breaking Point and goes on an anti-Christmas rampage, Peter still asks for the police to tranquilize her. Come Christmas morning, she's still loaded with what Peter claims is enough tranquillizer to bring down a bull elephant. |

After The Undiscovered Country, it became canon that movie-era phasers on Stun could kill at point blank range (to the head). On occasion, phasers have been set to "maximum stun" when facing unusually tough enemies, which is implied to have a higher risk of killing someone. | |

Though they're about the size of a normal submachine gun, Matt claims that they can take down a fully grown Tyrannosaurus rex, much to Becker's skepticism. Matt finally gets to put this to the test in the fifth episode of Series 5, and the EMD does not disappoint. In a Call-Back to when the EMD was first introduced, Becker admits he was wrong. | |

The Psychlo handguns in Battlefield Earth have a stun setting, which they use to capture rogue humans for their labor camps. It seems like it's two weapons in one, especially since they use different barrels. The lethal mode is basically a Hand Cannon that can blow holes in a person's body. The stun mode shoots a green pulse that knocks out a target cold. | |

Lupin III: A fairly often trope used when one of the main five characters are shot for real. Zenigata, as the "antagonist" to Lupin, is the frequent target. Usually wears off after his funeral. | |

In 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: | |

Agent Under Fire, NightFire, and Everything or Nothing use these in stealth missions where lethality isn't an option...or where shooting, even with a Hollywood Silencer, will still cause guards to cry out in pain. Uniquely, Everything or Nothing is the only game in which the dart-gun appears in more than one level. | |

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. | |

Blasters in Strontium Dog have a 'stun' setting in order to avoid harming civilians. In the "Bitch" story, Johnny ordered Red to keep her blaster set to 'stun' at all times as he was sympathetic to the Kaiak-K. | |

The Dominators in Psycho-Pass have a Paralyzer mode for targets whose Criminal Coefficients are between 100 & 299. Anything above that goes into Eliminator mode. | |
