The taser really just outclasses almost everything, which is why you often see antags rolling with a couple.
Taser stuns are actually reduced by armor values just like bullet damage is.
The real issue is the slowing effect applied by taser bolts. It bypasses all armor checks and makes it significantly easier to land additional hits after the first one.
