int dam = target->deal_damage( p, bp_torso, damage_instance( DT_ELECTRIC, rng( 5, 25 ) ) ).total_damage();
So, according to iuse.cpp, the tonfa and taser do 5 - 25 elec damage.
What was the multiplier for electronics again? Is it really worth carrying this large thing around?
Actually, if I could somehow have it stack the 5-25 on top of the regular melee damage Id be more than willing to use it, even at the absurd cost of 100 batteries per strike. Thats some good power damage for clutch hitting.
Talking about 14 base bashing on top of the 5-25 elec. add in some powerful strikes on top of that and your looking at good stuff. And then martial arts? yes please, add on a double battery capacity or a ups mod conversion and you have a hefty weapon for its size. With parry and rapid strike too.
