TG-Tier Tasers

[SomeoneOutTher3]

The title says it all. I would like to see tasers tweaked to a minor extent. I got the idea from playing around on TG-Station and Hippie. The taser guns there come with two modes, stun and disable.

The stun mode has a short range(Maybe 4-5 tiles?), and fires a low-speed electrode. Should that electrode hit an unarmored part of your body, you are stunned instantly and for slightly less time than a flash (About the same time as being hit with enough Auroracode taser shots will stun you for). The electrode travels a short distance at low speed, and is stopped by windows,grilles,walls, people,etc. The point of this mode is to quickly take down the target when you are close enough and need to cover the remaining distance, but will not work if you are chasing the suspect and have a lot of ground to cover.

The disable mode works almost exactly like the current taser does. In this mode, the gun will fire a slightly-faster blue beam that has higher range than the taser and will deal HALLOSS damage (Like Auroracode tasers do) and slow the subject to some degree. It is not stopped by windows or grilles. The point of this mode is to slow down the target while they are out of stun mode range so that you can then proceed to incapaticate them.

Let me know what you think.

No. We got rid of instant stun tasers with multiple shots and I'm glad they're gone.

No, tasers are fine as they are now. I remember old code tasers that were broken due to several reasons and could take anyone down, so, no.

Old tasers were kinda shit, the meta was, hit once with a taser, then laser them to death. It's cheap, and was shit. -1

I'm gonna have to agree with, well, everyone. Insta-stun tasers were terrible, and there's a reason we got rid of them.
