35. Not as reliably.

Yes a person in the act can be stopped by a taser. They can be stopped by throwing a knife.
I'm pretty sure it is not as reliable. Maybe it is within a % or 2, I do not know. I'll bet the experts have a strong opinion on this.

Why fire more than one real bullet? Isn't that because 1 shot from a real gun is not "reliable" enough?

Agreed. Cops are trained to use the most lethal methods instead of de-escalation Arazi Apr 2021 #11

Their training is that lethal force is met with lethal force ripcord Apr 2021 #12
