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.

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.
