***REEEEEEEEEEEE***

And more of a fact that, if it's not 100% reliable, and you're trying to use it to stop someone trying to attack you

why the hell do you depend on it?

two barbs. both have to hit. Even so, there are some people who can resist it.

And some clothing can render it neglegible

Some people don't crumple at pepper spray, either.

adrenaline, one hell of a drug

Uh huh.

Also drugs.

I mean people sometimes dont reaalize they were shot

yes, drugs are one hell of a drug too

Tranqs are also on the same boat.

Different dosages

And overdoses. Also have to be applied at specific parts.

localised overdose you say?

oh noes! his left foot is OD'ing, quick! amputate it

Basically, imagine if you had a 'non-lethal' means of self-defense. This mode of defense rolls two six sided dice. If either die rolls a 3 or lower, the attack fails. If the total comes out below an 8, the attack fails.

Would you trust that weapon to defend your life?

you roll a dice?

When did reality become D&D?

do i get + points from my charisma buff?

No. 😛

But I mean, that's the taser dilemma in a nutshell.

You've got a low chance of it actually working

you get bitched at by the media for using it

you get bitched at by the media for not using it.

I mean, the media was talking about some guy at a felony traffic stop having a 'shotgun' pointed at the suspect.

media is damned if you do, damned if you dont

as long as they can rake in profits and don't get attacked

Never mind the fact that the shotgun they were pointing had a green buttstock, indicating that it was loaded with non-lethal rounds

I.E. beanbags

Meanwhile, Metokur covering a protest in Chicago right now

Where people are playing in the freeway.

Moments before a Coca-Cola truck of peace
