Electroshock weapons are devices designed to incapacitate a person by delivering an electric shock. Common examples include Tasers and stun guns, which use high-voltage, low-current electricity to disrupt muscle control and cause temporary immobilization. These weapons are often used by law enforcement and security personnel as a non-lethal means of subduing individuals. The primary mechanism of electroshock weapons is to create a painful sensation that can deter aggressive behavior. While they are considered less lethal than firearms, there are ongoing debates about their safety and potential for misuse, particularly in high-stress situations or against vulnerable populations.
