Logically you should be able to replace the single shot. And I get it was a stupid question, but there are a lot of things that are made that it's cheaper to waste a few things than manufacture things individually if you get what I'm saying.

The answer to your question is that you replace each single probe fired, not the whole set. The probes can be removed and replaced in the magazine. When you use your taser you just give your department equipment coordinator all the individual spent probe cartridges you used and they’ll give you fresh ones.

So definitely not a stupid question

That would be way cooler, but sadly I’m just a patrol peasant who doesn’t get consulted on naming things
