Honcho, try not to cream your jeans. A new wireless taser is about to hit the market and I think it is going to take internet taser videos to a whole new level. This new taser is a self contained shell that can be fired from a standard shotgun at unsuspecting douche bags criminals almost 100 feet away. While the current taser delivers a 5 second jolt, this new wireless shell juices the perp for a full 20 seconds.
Hello, drive-by tasing. Soon instead of seeing a video of some poor rookie police officer getting hit with a taser while he is just standing in the squad room we will get to see that poor bastard tased while he is on the run. Seriously, once the taser goes wireless the sky is the limit for internet taser videos.
But the wires could only extend a few metres. With the new “extended range electronic projectile,” or XREP, the Taser has been turned into a kind of self-contained shotgun shell and can be fired, wire-free, from a standard shotgun, which police typically have in their arsenal already.
The first electrode hooks on to the target, the second electrode falls and makes contact elsewhere on the body, completing the circuit and activating the shock. It can blast someone as far as 30 metres away, and, unlike the current stun guns, whose shock lasts five seconds, the XREP lasts 20 seconds, enough time to “take the offender into custody without risking injury to officers.”
