re: Are tasers really effective?

It depends on how it’s used.
I remember that from what I’ve seen, it was always taught effective range was 15 to 20 feet. Anything less and no, it’s not really effective in stopping someone. You want the two prongs to be as far apart as possible so the electric shock will seize up the whole body. When used in close proximity, it hurts but doesn’t incapacitate

No. If it’s a lean person and you have good contact, extremely effective. A large person with a decent amount of fat —no. Any person with bad contact —no.

True. Local department is currently switching to the newest model Taser which will have a redesigned cartridge that will shoot the two prongs out at like 12 degrees apart vs the "old" which was only like 3 to combat the problem of close quarters.
