I had a similar experience to Technature's when I had an owl gun (removes all equipment, gives target owl mask and suit) that ran on my battery one Ass Day. While I had to recharge every 10 minutes or so, I could fire 10+ shots from it in the meantime, and within a half hour, pretty much the entire station was in owl garb. I was content enough to just make bad owl jokes, but given that I had also been granted a police baton and infinite duct tape, I could have easily done the same thing Technature had done.
I personally wouldn't accept a cyborg taser or similar unless it a) drained a percentage of the battery rather than a set amount b) required a high capacity battery (so you couldn't give yourself a really small power cell and charge it to full really quickly with cell cables to get around that percent drain) and either c1) could drain stamina but not take it below 0 stamina (probably higher you couldn't knock it below 0 with an extinguisher) or c2) merely staggered or disorientated . So you could disable the guy attacking whoever you're guarding, but not really keep them down, and if you decided to take out your killing weapon, they'd still have a good chance to recover and fight back. (There's probably some more problems with this setup too.)
Besides, I'd say borgs have enough weaponry. The trick to think beyond bashing the meatbag with the highest damage weapon. All borgs start with omnitools and can thus make MechComp traps, albeit kinda slowly since they don't have an inventory for transporting components. Engineering borgs have an RCD to depressurize the station and can welderbomb with their welder with some risk. Medical, Chemistry, and Civilian borgs have beakers/watering cans/buckets for chemical warfare and can abuse their immunity to fire and poison for point-blank hellsmoke/foam delivery. Mining and Brobocop borgs don't really get anything as deadly as the above, but can still maim with some creativity. I remember one Rev round where a borg set several Revs on fire, multiple times, with just some welding tanks and pieces of paper and another Rev round where the Brobocop forcefed Revs with shots of Bo Jack Daniel.
