TASER ROUNDS


I found this one at Ace Of Spades.
Continuing to strike fear into the hearts of, well, everyone, Taser has released an electrified round that works with any 12-gauge shotgun. The Wireless eXtended Range Electronic Projectile, or XREP, is a fin-stabilized, self-contained round with no wires leading back to the gun and a maximum range of 100 ft. Previous Tasers, such as the C2 civilian model I was hit with a few months ago, are only useful within around 30 ft.
The XREP punctures the target with multiple probes, and then unspools to dangle from the unfortunate belligerent's body, all the while applying Taser's infamous rapid-fire electrical pulses. As an added bonus, any helpful passerby trying to yank the XREP out of the target before the 20-second discharge cycle is finished will also get zapped, thanks to a "hand-trap wire" that's nestled
in among the other hanging cables.

I disagree. It actualy sounds pretty good. Too bad we will never see them in practice here unless they take away our handguns. It would cut down on the misfires or the clothing getting in the way. They already have rubber bullets for shotguns and we still don't have them so I don't see us getting them.

I have six Taser deployments. They work great. I wouldn't mind seeing this new device with a 12 ga. side by side 18" shotgun. It could be done.

I think the taser products are great. I have been selling them for years and they are a great home protection device. Ben Edmond
