Taser International, the Scottsdale-based producer of stun guns, is introducing a less-lethal shotgun and associated electronic projectile developed in partnernship with O.F. Mossberg & Sons at the 2008 SHOT Show in
Las Vegas this weekend.The system uses a Mossberg-manufactured shotgun modified to fire the extended-range projectile, the company said. The system is designed for use by law enforcement agencies and provides greater range, beyond 20 feet, than is offered by Taser’s hand stun guns.The weapon will not accept lethal 12-gauge rounds, removing the possibility of loading a lethal round into the less-lethal system in high-stress situations, Taser said.The
Scottsdale company expects to complete pilot testing and begin sales of the shotgun and projectile by the end of this year. More information is available at www.taser.com/xrep.
