I have a question regarding tasers. There appears to be two types. Both use darts but one type uses wires to deliver the charge while the other uses high capacity batteries or some such thing in the dart itself. So in game terms how does each one work?
If someone hits with a wired one can they just keep putting the juice to the victim every pass? Is there only the ability to fire once? I know how they work in real life but the game terms are very vauge? Are the wireless ones just one shot wonders that discharge in a single pass? Thanks in advance. |
