All we are saying/Is give potentially lethal shots to the head with an electronic shotgun shell a chance

Taser is one of our least favorite companies — they make weapons and then deny their lethality — but at least they keep some of our boys in blue safe and offer another way of stopping folks without putting a bullet in their leg.

They’re announcing a new product, XREP, which is an electronic shotgun shell what apparently works just like a mini Taser. No real info yet, but they describe it thus:

On July 9, 2007, TASER International will introduce the world’s first wireless TASER® device, the new eXtended Range Electronic Projectile, or XREP. Launched from a standard 12-gauge shotgun, the XREP delivers TASER Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) in a self-contained projectile system weighing only half an ounce.

    Let me see if we have this sucker straight.
    You are anti weapons.
    Correct?
    Then what would you suggest the authorities and our military use to stop a criminal or free a hostage?
    Pull out pictures of a naked Hillary ?
    What a bunch of limp wrists namby pambys living free and pretty darn safe in a republic paid for by the lives, limbs, blood and sacrifice of so many others.
    What a sham of humanity you are.

  • Not anti-weapons. Just anti-companies-lieing-about-what-their-weapons-do.

  • Mr Biggs,
    Have you personally tested a Taser? Have you personally had the opportunity to be tased, voluntarily (not as a result of stupid behavior)?

    I’ve personally read the statistics. I’ve personally been trained in the proper use of a tase. I’ver personally, with authority, tased an undisclosed number of people. I even get those Google news updates weekly on all new items including “taser” and “Taser International”.

    What’s the point? Your conclusion about their lethality is based upon your collection of defense attorney bias and misinformation. Did you call Taser International for a comment on this article? Did you call even your local law enforcement agency?

    Please, leave your enemy loving bias at the door when you attempt to write.

    Additionally, no cop shoot the leg, intentionally. Pulling the trigger on a firearm is the decision to kill, and kill only. Maiming is not a part of our policies.

  • Mr Biggs, hahaha, I thought only his parole officer calls him that! I can already imagine the shower-conversations in the joint: “Yo man how did they catch you?” “Damn man I got XREP’ed”. Also, forget about Laser Tag, let’s play TASER TAG! :-D

  • Pretty nifty that it works in a normal shotgun.

  • How about less misinformed political rhetoric and more fact Jason.
