Stun Gun
Didn't you ever notice that whenever a bad guy was aiming for the turltes with something - the lasers of a gun or some other kind of weapon - that they always missed by a hundred miles? But when the bad guys would have to take out a civilian, or take out somebody of their own, they always had perfect aim?
Something smells around here, and it ain't pretty. It reeks of plot device.
A good example is the episode, "Four Musketurtles." Bebop and Rocksteady could never hit anything with their terrible aim, especially when they were going for the turtles. But then Krang demands them to take their shots since he is protected by some force field. Rocksteady takes a perfect shot at Krang's force field. How come he can't do that when he's aiming at the turtles?
Because it would be the end of the show, that's why. The bad guys are never allowed to nail the good guys. It's the first rule in the Cartoon Rules Codebook.
"Those two mutants couldn't steal a free sample!" - Krang, from "Invasion of the Krangezoids"
