Sources sugges that the maximum range of the typical TASER gun is about 30 feet. Some can incapacitate an attacker from up to 15 feet away.
A TASER® gun is basically a handheld electroshock gun that was developed by a company called TASER international.
A TASER is far more powerful than a traditional stun gun. Unlike stun guns, TASER technology does not rely on pain compliance localized to the point of contact; rather it affects the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system and inhibits muscular control.
This keeps an attacker down and immobilized for 30 seconds not just "stunned" for as long as you maintain contact. However, a TASER can also be used as a direct contact stun device if necessary.
