Today, after much anticipated buildup, Taser Corp has released their newest taser stun gun, the TASER X3.  The X3 is different from the other line up stun guns in that this one is able to deliver a multi shot electronic control device enabling it to engage multiple targets.

The X3 also displays a quite obvious warning arc to gain compliance of would be bad boys before having to deploy any charges.  This taser gun has the ability to simultaneously stop up to three people with a single unit.

This taser gadget really looks outstanding.  But more than that, it just looks like it has an ergonomic design.  It looks impressive. I  would really hate to stare down the barrel of one of these things.  Tip… if a cop ever tells you to get down on the ground, just do it… Otherwise they might pull one of these puppies out.

Taser claims that this device is and I quote, “the most intelligent hand-held force option ever developed”.  That is quite a profound statement.  I have a feeling we are going to be seeing a lot more of these in the not too distant future.

The next time you see a very attractive woman at the mall or somewhere else and contemplate walking up to her and asking her out you might want to have a look at her ring finger and see if you see a ring that looks similar to the ones here pictured to the left.

They are not just for women actually. Anyone can wear these rings.  Inside the ring is hidden the strongest pepper spray formula available.  It has the highest heat rating of 2 million SHU’s (jalapeno pepper has 5000 SHU’s) which severely affects the mucous membranes, eyes and respiratory systems.

This is not permanent injury but enough to disorient an attacker for enough time to get away.  The ring has an effective range of 12 inches.

Here is how it works. You put this ring on your index finger and then make a fist and press that little button on the side of the ring to release the pepper spray.

Have you seen any episodes of that TV series COPS lately? Well I actually enjoy watching that series a lot. I think it is great reality television and a lot more interesting than many other reality shows.

The reason I bring it up is because a lot of times on that show you will see cops using their taser guns to stun criminals.  There has been a lot of controversy over the use of these stun guns but the company TASR is still in business and innovating as well.  This new product they just came out with is called the XREP.

Basically it does the same thing as their original TASR guns, essentially incapacitating the would be criminal with an electric shock.  However this shotgun has a significantly longer maximum range of 100 feet.

Now here is a nifty little pet gadget, the “K9 Door Popper”.

This gadget is really most useful for police forces in crime fighting, but what about the average Joe that has a guard dog and may need some help too?

Basically what this gadget does is release your dog from your car by automatically popping the door open from a remote location.  It has a special ‘door pop stopper’ that disables the device when your car is in gear.  The system comes with a long range digital receiver, external antenna, wiring and hardware.

I know this device is meant for the police. But hey, how about you are at some rest stop with your pet dog in the back seat and next thing you know some crazy guy starts attacking you or starting a fight.  Just push the little button and your door pops open sending your trusted dog running to your defense (hopefully).  Of course it would help if your dog is trained to defend you.. But still some ( or maybe most?) dogs are intelligent enough to protect their owner when they see danger.

By the way, somewhat off topic… but why haven’t most if not all car manufacturers developed a device like this? Or simply one that pops open doors when a car is parked.  I am thinking because of the safety hazard and the possible legal liability… but hey it would eliminate the need for guys to open doors for their dates!
