Stun gun

The Buzzkill TND (Threat Negation Device) is a weapon in Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
==Characteristics==
The Buzzkill TND instantaneously knocks individual targets unconscious at close range. Also useful on bots and electronic devices to confuse them temporarily, the stun gun is made by Mustang Arms Ad-Tech Ltd. As both are ranged, non-lethal firearms which can only load one shot at a time, both the stun gun and its cousin the PAX-22 fill a similar niche, albeit at different ranges. The small stun gun is only useful at short-shorter medium ranges, but can affect non-human targets. With its scope, the PAX-22 is best used at sufficient range for the scope to not interfere with aim.
After stunning enemies, the player has to watch the bodies to be either not found by other enemies or not revived, which can be done quickly.
Enemies that will awake by themselves (machines, bosses) need to be taken care of during their sleep (carried away into corner, obstruct view, passed by or, with bosses: heavy fire while they are down).
It should be noted that, unlike the PAX-22, the Stun Gun is NOT silent.
==In-game Description==
The Buzzkill Threat Negation Device (TND) is a single-shot, non-lethal firearm that uses an intense electroshock discharge to render targets unconscious. While easy to conceal, the weapon has a short range, slow firing cycle, lengthy reload time, and has no sights for aiming (although adding a reticule on the screen through the Options Menu mitigates this problem). It is primarily for use against organic targets, but is also effective in temporarily disabling security camera, turrets and bots without setting off alarms.
The stun gun is best reserved for situations where patrolling enemies must be incapacitated quickly, with or without executing takedowns; either because the distance is too far that it can compromise stealth, or energy is insufficient to perform one.
As hand-to-hand combat freezes time and renders the player temporarily invulnerable, a one-two punch of a takedown on one target, then a shot from an already drawn stun gun on another target is a quick and easy tactic for incapacitating two enemies at once, useful for pairs of enemies that are standing within close range (should the Quicksilver Reflex Booster remain locked, or the targets lack proximity for Double Takedowns), which is quite a common occurrence.
