^^^^^ there

I dunno. We've done that under SR1. I understand that boxers die instead of
falling unconscious, but they are also doing physical damage, not stun. I
think Tom once said that brass knuckles will let you do physical damage.

I dunno about that. We had a shaman under SR1 who ROUTINELY used Stunblast
and KILLED everything. It was the STUN version of Turn To Goo. I prefer the
sr2 way of dealing with it, personally. If you are using a stun weapon, you
are probably trying to keep them alive. (once they're unconscious, do with
them as you will) Being able to kill them from a STUN weapon strikes me as
not really fitting in with the game "view" (i.e. cinematic).

Another thought... I don't relish the idea of being killed by a TASER.

Just my .02...
