The best taser that I used (and currently own) is the M18L. I bought it when it was around $550, you can get it under $350 now. I've yet to use a stun gun that I have *really* liked, most just feel really cheaply made to me and I don't trust them even if they do have the stopping power... I'd much rather use the M18L even though it is a bit more limited in many ways.

There is no end to which the public seem to want "proof"! *lol*
Can't remember how much the tasers cost - think they were about $500 ish for two at the time. There are probably betters units on the market now.
Joke!!
One of the latest "incidents" the girl I mentioned above was involved in was an attempted rape. The assailant had no clue she was an undercover officer and she just played dumb in scenarios around him (he still ain't got a clue she is anything other than a stupid woman - the cover was retained). Anyways.. he approached her with a "proposition" which she politely declined. But he did not know when to stop and got his jaw broken... he was on the floor and told to stay there while she called medical help - but na.. he don't do as he's told and gets off the floor to "have a go" and gets - not sure of the exact sequence - but gets his collar bone screwed and back on the floor. Turns out in the end his jaw, collar bone and a couple of ribs were broken.
Anyways... he wants to prefer charges of assault *lol* and is wheeled into court in a chair. The judge asks him "why would this lady want to attack you?" "She tried to murder me" "Why would she want to murder you?" Slowly the story unfolds (it's a long story and more involved than the attempted rape)... Eventually.. the judge is passed some background papers (it's the detail of the actual identity of the girl and stuff about registered use of hands which are "offensive weapons" in the state) and comments that.. "I'm sure Miss X would have no problem murdering you if that was on her mind"
He then went on to demolish him with dialog about being "a poor specimen of a man" and ordered him wheeled out of court *lol*
Can't say most stuff here, but part of the background is the girl was "employed" by him (tho all fake) and was owed a salary. Her little joke was that she then made claims against him (keeps the cover up) for her due salary which he refused to pay - so she raised some paperwork in court to record her claim against him. The ass .. least last I heard.. has never paid it and she it's still accumlating interest and apparently will go against his estate in the end
