Does it work by RAW? Yes.
That's the important part. For whatever reason, the way the game is designed to be played allows this. If you want to change
anything without honestly knowing
why those particular rules are there you run the risk of unintentionally damaging game balance.

Nope, thats why it's stun damage instead of physical.
Hrmm... Electrical elemental damage is listed as Stun in the BBB, and the added element rule in
Street Magic is also listed as being stun.
Lightningbolt and
Ball Lightning are specifically created not following the rules that they've laid out, and with no reason. If you get
Elemental Aura (Electricity) or
Elemental Wall (Electricity) those will be Stun, not Physical.
It should be noted that the base property of a taser is the same base property of a lightning bolt or a wall socket or a car battery or a defibrilator (spelling?). It's all simply an application of electrons in varying quantities, similar to a candle, a fire in a fireplace, a bonfire, a grassfire, and a housefire. Same thing, different quantities. Saying a lightning bolt (not the spell) would affect a spirit but not a taser is like saying that a housefire will affect a person but not a shirt being on fire, because a shirt being on fire is obviously a lesser amount of fire.
It should also be noted that Stick-n-Shock rounds specifically mention that they're
adhesive, not pronged. They do not require penetration into the skin to function, just being stuck to an object.
