by SR rules any weapon will just keep wrapping and wrapping till the
targets dead, neurostun grenades being the worst case. Common sense
however says that a few things (particularly those neuostun grenades)
will only knock a target out at worst. Any weapon that causes shocks
to a targets system (be they electrical, hydrostatic etc) could
probably kill, people are very complicated things and some vital
parts are quite vulnerable, though evolution has done its best to
armour them.
