Stun Guns is being disambiguated, moving examples to correct subtrope


* StunGun: Reeves arms District 13 with state of the art taser weapons. The main advantage is that you can nonlethally ShootTheHostage then ShootTheHostageTaker, followed by their greater range and faster rate of fire than conventional tasers. They guns are still capable of firing lethal rounds if necessary.

** As shown in "Risky Business" it turns out that no, a billionaire cannot just spend all his time ignoring his own company and spending ludicrous amounts of money on tech for a police department without any returns and just expect their company to sit by and run business as usual without opposition.
** The end of "Pandora's Box" shows that helping a known criminal could not only get you in trouble with any employers, but the police can also arrest and charge you for aiding and abetting.

* CliffhangerEnding: Reeves and Murphy succeed in taking down the cyberterrorist, but not before he sets up a gun turret that assassinates the mayor - in the middle of a speech denouncing Reeves' control of District 13. And the attack could have been prevented had the mayor taken a moment to listen to what Gideon was trying to say when he called to warn him.
