Its Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) is the same disabling effect delivered by wired Taser weapons. Loaded into an ordinary 12-gauge shotgun, it's designed into a 14-gram package small enough to fit into a gun barrel, yet it can travel at 300 feet per second. - Image 1


The people in law enforcement are always looking for non-lethal methods to subdue the perpetrators of crimes. After all they're in the business of saving lives and not taking them. The Taser XREP (eXtended Range Electronic Projectile) that will go into field testing this fall is expected to provide yet another possible solution to taking the criminals in alive.

It works through its Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI), which is essentially the same effect of the more common Taser weapons. The fact that this "round" is loaded into an ordinary 12-gauge shotgun allows for easy adaptation into the current arsenal of weapons.


Personally, what worries me is the fact that it's a light 14-gram package which launches from the gun at 300 feet per second.

I know it doesn't look too sharp but that thing could probably kill if shot into vital regions of the body. Assuming it is only fired into meatier parts of the body such as the thigh or an arm, and delivers a shock as intended, then it will probably work.

your crazy. you need to move to russia or pakistan or somewhere that they do that, then tell me if you still think that's a good idea. remember innocent until proven guilty? your basically saying police should kill innocent people. robbing a store because wal-mart stole your job and you have kids to feed doesn't warrant death.
