Taser has some severe limitations, some of them you have listed.

The main one for me is that for it to work you have to fire two barbs into a persons body, i.e. some flesh.

If that doesn't happen, it doesn't work.

So heavy overcoat etc = it possibly not working.

So if Mr Angry is waving a machete, you've got to be confident it's likely to work.
