Something I never really bothered checking into before, but I came across this nugget today:
https://www.atf.gov/files/regulations-rulings/rulings/atf-rulings/atf-ruling-76-6.pdf
It states that Tasers are considered AOW's because they use a small explosive detonation to launch the prongs for the zappy ride. This makes me glad that I didn't purchase a buddy's M26 when he offered after his department began issuing X26s.
Guess that explains why they aren't sold at places like Sportman's Warehouse and other places and pitched as a great "alternative" to carrying a gun for protection.
