It's an electrical-based weapon, with a claw attached to a wire-type thing inside of a handle. When the attack is triggered the claw uses an explosive charge to fly towards its target and electrocute it.

Although I'm not particularly an expert, that's the basic description.

I'm far from an expert, but I do know that tasers are real. They're kind of like a police-issue stun gun, I think. Police officers can stop a criminal without killing them or seriously wounding them with the taser, though I think that it is possible to have different settings on them, so some levels might be more dangerous than others. I think some are made so that they can only be used with a certain set of fingerprints, so they can't be misused, like what BC did in the ep!

My dad has a taser. He used it to keep angry dogs away when he took our dog for a walk.
