Which of the following is NOT a form/name of a CEW?

• A. Basic stun gun
• B. Dart firing stun gun
• C. Electronic immobilization device
• D. Laser-based conducting device

Answer: (D)

CEWs are classified by how they deliver the incapacitating electrical pulse. The familiar forms include basic stun guns, which provide a shock through contact electrodes when pressed against the body, and dart-firing stun guns, which shoot projectiles with electrodes and deliver the shock via those darts. The term electronic immobilization device is also used in some contexts to describe a CEW. A laser-based conducting device doesn’t fit these established CEW names because CEWs incapacitate with electrical current, not laser energy. A laser might accompany aiming, but it doesn’t define the weapon’s category. Hence, laser-based conducting device is not a recognized CEW form/name.
