** Unfortunately, there is a very good reason professionals call tasers and their ilk 'less lethal" weapons as opposed to "none lethal".

Added DiffLines:

A Static Stun Gun can be considered a subtrope of [[StunGuns Stun Gun]], because both kinds of weapons have the ability to incapacitate. It's just that the former is [[WordOfGod explicitly]] [[AllThereInTheManual mentioned]] to be lightning-driven while the latter can use something else besides electricity to do the same job.
