The compact handheld stun guns are about the size of a TV remote or calculator, and they must touch the subject when used. The original XR-5000 design in 1983 had the electrodes spread farther apart to make the noisy electric arc between the electrodes as a more visible warning. Some such devices are available disguised as other objects, such as umbrellas,  mobile phones  or pens. Electric shock prods Electric cattle prod from the 1950s The larger  baton-style  prods are similar in basic design to an electric  cattle prod . It has a metal end split into two parts electrically insulated from each other, or two thin projecting metal  electrodes  about 2.5 centimetres (1 in) apart, at an end of a shaft containing the batteries and mechanism. At the other end of the shaft are a handle and a switch. Both electrodes must touch the subject. In some types the sides of the baton can be electrified to stop the subject from grasping the baton above the electrodes. Some models are

A Taser, with cartridge removed, making an  electric arc  between its two  electrodes An  electroshock weapon  is an incapacitating  weapon . It delivers an  electric shock  aimed at temporarily disrupting  muscle  functions and/or inflicting  pain  without causing significant  injury . Many types of these devices exist. Stun guns, batons (or prods), and belts administer an electric shock by direct contact, whereas  Tasers (conducted electrical weapons) fire projectiles that administer the shock through thin flexible wires. Long-range electroshock projectiles, which can be fired from ordinary shotguns and do not need the wires, have also been developed.

A  machine gun  is a  fully automatic  mounted or  portable firearm  designed to fire bullets  in rapid succession from an  ammunition belt  or  magazine , typically at a rate of 300 rounds per minute or higher. Not all fully automatic firearms are machine guns. Submachine guns ,  rifles ,  assault rifles ,  shotguns ,  pistols  or  cannons  may be capable of fully automatic fire, but are not designed for sustained fire. As a class of military rapid-fire guns, machine guns are fully automatic weapons designed to be used as support weapons and generally used when attached to a  mount-  or fired from the ground on a bipod  or  tripod . Many (but not all) machine guns also use  belt fee
