Taser SMG while on full auto mode already has lower range, its bolts deal less stamina damage than any other weapon. At point blank range it takes around 6-8 shots to drop someone with full stamina. At max range it takes more than 10. The one job I specifically tailored the taser SMG for is taking down targets that are low on stamina and dodging.
Taser SMG is actually all around worse in most use cases. On full auto, if you're trying to hit someone at max range (8 tiles) you'll miss half your shots because of the spread, but you'll drain over half of your power cell to take one person down unless they are low on stamina. On burst you get more power (but still less than a taser shotgun or taser in general) and accuracy but only get a total of 6 bursts. And it takes 2-3 bursts to drop a full stamina target.
