Not to mention, a Taser is effectively a one-shot weapon. If one of those prongs misses, it doesn't work. If one of those prongs misses, you have to either hope you have enough time to load and fire a second cartridge, or hope that in a melee you can get the backup contact stun prongs to make contact. Neither of these options is a good idea against a mentally unstable person with a knife.
