The first shot is nowhere near useless. It's confusion. You either can decide to stand still, opening yourself to be hit more, or start moving erratically, which will make you stick around in that general area but make hitting you harder. In the second case, you are still very much open for a melee attack from a stun baton or a pointblank shot. Unless your confusion gets you cornered. The point is security relies far too much upon the safety of distance using tasers and this update does damn right to cut it down. Besides, if you're a legendary gunslinger, just set it to burst stun and hit the shit out of your target.
