It's kind of outclassed, these days. Pretty much useless.
That's not even what I'm talking about. It's perfectly fine to use against unprotected electronic devices to overload their circuits and cause overvoltage damage, and that's effective against plenty of stuff. Even future-stuff stuff. But it's literally a pulse of electricity. Thinking that would hurt me is, like, really stupid.
