Chris's recent failings have helped CWCki gather more information for this article. Be a winner by adding this information in. This new information can be found from the following sources:

A taser is a weapon capable of delivering an electric shock. Chris believed he could harness a taser's power, using it to shock his magic quartz stones, as a means to activate the Dimensional Merge. This attempt to finally break the Iron Curtain had led to controversy, and several rumors about Praetor being spread around.
Background
Taser vs stun gun
For the purposes of discussing Chris's intended use of a taser, it is important to make a distinction between tasers and stun guns. While they share a similar function to deliver electrical shocks, tasers and stun guns differ in that a taser fires projectiles at a target to deliver the shock, whereas a stun gun uses direct contact with a target.
The two terms have sometimes been used interchangeably to describe Chris or Praetor's alleged plans, in particular from a rumor by Watchmen member MKR,[1][2] leading to confusion. In addition, Praetor has referred to plans to film a video involving a stun gun in November 2020[3] - it is unclear whether or not this is related to Chris's plan to use Praetor's taser on his quartz crystals in February 2021.[4] In any event, no evidence has been found of Chris using either a stun gun or taser.
Piezoelectricity and Chris's crystals
Chris has applied magical thinking to his quartz crystals. Chris believed he could use two quartz crystals - a piece of quartz he has dubbed the "Gate Crystal" and a Lightning Struck Quartz piece he has dubbed the "Celestial Key" to open up portals.
Piezoelecticity is an electrical charge occurring from certain types of matter, such as crystals, to which mechanical energy is applied, such as striking a crystal.[5] Quartz crystals work with the piezoelectric effect.
He believes the Gate Crystal can open a warp gate and has been enchanted and blessed by himself to have the power to open a portal between dimensions.[6] He believes the Celestial Key is a component to the Dimensional Merge.[7] In a chat between himself and Watchmen members Kyle, Val, and KND, Chris cites a Gaia article, which states how people from ancient civilizations may have used crystals to open up portals to other dimensions.[8][note 1]
Praetor
Praetor is known for their sale of tasers on their Etsy page.
On 15 November 2020, the Praetor Instagram account posted an image of an online store's shopping cart.[3] Within the cart was 1 Pikachu mask and 1 VIPERTEK VTS-989 560 BV stun gun. Accompanying the post was the message:
“ | As Praetor, we always work hard to produce the best videos we can. Good works are in progress! | ” |
Taser Call
On February 2021, Chris was in a call with the Praetor leader Caden Peck, and several Watchmen members.
