That is an excellent suggestion! I don’t see why they wouldn’t, or why the manufacturer wouldn’t use different colors. I suspect they may not have thought of it.

Personally, I’m a slob, but fashion rules. I can remember being in the 82nd. We spent more time on our uniform and appearance than anything else. Truly.
I thought it was a little gay, frankly. But it was just easy for the command structure, which by and large was rairly stimulating or challenging in any military sense.
The practically benefits of an bright, primary color Taser would clash with the elite notions of the officers.
“...use different colors. I suspect they may not have thought of it.”
My son is a deputy sherriff and does not carry a taser. He has said tasers should be bright yellow to prevent this sort of thing.
