Tasers and Stun/Shock Weaponry damage ratings

How do people treat tasers and other shock weapons in Dresden?  What sort of Weapon value should they have?

On a similar note, how do people treat poison?

Poison=venomous

Or, if you are using injested poison use the rules for narcotic saliva.  Do a consequenctial test based on deceit or craftsmanship or scholarship (depending on what skill you think is appropriate)

Taser can be done a few ways.

Make it weapon 3.  Allow them to replace the weapon damage with a maneuver of the same strength as the weapon value (which is suggested in the book)

It probably makes more sense to make it weapon 2 or 1 and let them do regular maneuvers like shocked, stunned, electrocuted, zapped

And then tag those aspects for a take out.
