The current runs through the tips of the barbs and thus if it gets past any kind of lining and gets through your skin, the current is going through the salt-water bag that your interior flesh consists of. IE, path of very low resistance. Best bet would be to wear a lining to just keep the barbs from piercing.what about a regular taser? Not with the barbs, just a stun gun?

My recommendation would simply be not to let the guy hit you with the taser. I'm not being sarcastic here. If a guy's coming at you with a taser, you know which had he's going to hit you with. So just avoid that hand.Then try to get him in the nose.But chances are you'll be prone when the taser comes, as our blue protectors often can't handle the idea of the victim being in a position to put up a fight. So yeah, some kind of anti-taser garb might be good for that.
