When I posted that triple Taser the other day (apparently it’s for taking down your female coworkers, watch the video), I speculated that the criminals would come back with greater numbers, creating an arms race between muggers and the mugged. But if there was one of these on every corner, all you’d have to do is get behind it and hit the trigger, and everything you can see gets Tasered. Boom, no more muggers!
The Shockwave is meant to “de-escalate/defuse violent crowd/riot situations,” although I have a feeling that if you Taser the first wave of a crowd, it might get a lot more rowdy — especially if they see that your Shockwave is a one-shot device, or three at the most (plus you can duck).
At that point, it’s time to bring out the pain ray. Sergeant! Warm up the pain ray! Wait, they did what with it?
Oh, man! I made a poem:
Taser, taser, burning bright
in a show of force tonight

I wonder if I could get one of these for the porch. The kids in my neighborhood that try to sell everything but crack for every cause from Girl Scouts to Pigmy children of unwed mother dolphins with erectile dysfunction. Plus I have this annoying neighbor………
Why not just errect an temporary electric fence if it is for crowd control. After all, it’d probably be cheaper, cover more ground, have more than 1 shot, and be more effective.
First time they use this, you just know they’re gonna kill some innocent. Next time they use it the crowds gonna come prepared (just need a sheild that’s more dense than clothing + skin).
You also just know that the user is gonna get overrun and have it turned on themselves.
That’s why you always have a backup plan, like an AR15.
5.56mm>Thick clothing
They turn this on and 3 overweight men will die when their hearts give out after the shock.
When it comes to controlling large crowds, there seem to be many better ways to do it (LRAD, stink bombs, tear gas, a good barricade with enough cops behind it).
Nobody can fight back while being tased!
…except for crazy people

I want one for the front of my shopping cart at Walmart.
Hmmm, a charging herd of rhino. A rhino comes in at about 6,000 pounds and hits 35mph. Those taser things seem to have a range of about 15 foot.
So you now have an unconcious rhino, still travelling at 35mph, 15 foot away heading right at you.
I hope it has a very long remote trigger!
we call those triggers “interns”
Looks very much like a claymore anti-antipersonnel mine. Weird.
That’s exactly what I thought too Nigel. Imagine stringing a bunch of claymores together. Did you see the one where they outfitted on the front of the cop car? I posted it on my blog http://www.robblewis.com pretty intimidating looking
The Patriot eraser in the hands of a badged fuckup with a massive chip on its divine shoulder. Wonderful step in the right direction for progressive culture.
Woah, isn’t this kind of thing a bit too extreme? It would be great if you follow up on this post. http://AppUseful.com
“Pigmy children of unwed mother dolphins with erectile dysfunction” – that’s is to funny Matt, made my day.
I give you the next Left 4 Dead weapon !
The hilarious thing about that worthless device is that the entire array is fired at once. It only takes out a couple of people at the front of the crowd leaving the rest to run right by the Shockwave while it sits there full of expended cartridges that can’t be reloaded because the crown has already run past it and beyond it.
What a boondoggle. I hope the police see what a waste of money it is.
This whole thing about being tased is NOT funny, too many innocent victums are hurt! What ever happened to descelation of a situation, but then that would take effort by the moncho cops! I have lost all faith and respect for them!
