Description

Various stages of a shotgun shell Taser round , the projectile, the two parts of a spent round and the projectile as it looks in flight, are displayed at the 2009 International Consumer Electronics Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center January 9, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Taser International vice president of communications Steve Tuttle said the Mossberg Less Lethal Shotgun , a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun, was specifically designed to work with the X236 law enforcement model Taser so there would be no possibility of accidentally loading it with lethal ammunition. The shotgun fires what is called an extended range electronic projectile 75-100 feet - three times farther than a normal Taser - and is not tethered to the gun. The new system can work with any 12-gauge shotgun and will be available for law enforcement personnel in March 2009. CES, the world's largest annual consumer technology trade show, runs through January 11 and features 2,700 exhibitors showing off their latest products and services to more than 130,000 attendees.
