Well, a stun gun relies on pain complaiance, meaning the subject would have to feel or acknowledge pain. A TASER is not reliant on merely pain, but incapacitation. You may have mixed the two up. Secondly, the TASER does not "dump" the energy into the muscles. It actually forms an electrical circuit which loops from the unit to one probe, then travels through the body to the second probe before heading back to the unit.
I am an instructor and a court recognized expert on stun guns and TASER's. There is often the mistaken belief that they are the same thing. The media likes to take the stun gun shortcut when they write a story. I also feel that giving an answer to a question requires firsthand knowledge, not a guess.
Perhaps such details are not important, unless you are explaining something that you have little direct knowledge of. For me to comment on medical protocol would be unwise because I am a novice in that area. Although I am a BLS Instructor, I never have ridden in an ambulance.
