New TASER Weapons Produced For Crowd Control
- Text size
Stun gun manufacturer rolls out devices that promise to “drop everyone in a given area to the ground”
Steve Watson
Infowars.net
October 8, 2008
Everyone’s favourite stun gun manufacturer Taser has unveiled it’s latest loving piece of “non lethal” technology, The Taser Shockwave.
The new weapon is significantly different to the Tasers currently used by police in that it has six different electrified charges and is designed to target crowds rather than individuals.
The cartridges are tethered by 25-foot wires, which can be fired from a distance of up to 100 meters in a 20-degree arc. The “probes” on the end of the cartridges can pierce through clothing and skin, emitting 50,000 volts of electricity in the process.
“Full area coverage is provided to instantaneously incapacitate multiple personnel within that region” Taser explains.
“Multiple Shockwave units can be stacked together (like building blocks) either horizontally or vertically in order to extend area coverage or vertically to allow for multiple salvo engagements.” The product description states.
The weapons can also be vehicle mounted or “daisy chained” according to Taser. Clearly it is anticipated that these things will be used on sizable crowds, meaning an increased likelihood of indiscriminate targeting.
Watch a presentation on the Shockwave from Taser:
The Shockwave isn’t the only new development on Taser’s books either. The Extended-Range Electronic Projectile (XREP) is touted as the first electric shock weapon that can be fired from a normal gun, in this case a 12-gauge shotgun. It delivers a 20-second shock, compared with the default setting five-second shock of a traditional taser X26.
“To maximize incapacitation, the XREP engine incorporates a microprocessor controlled optimal electrode selection technology. Twenty times per second, the XREP engine checks for the optimal electrode connection to maximize the contact spread and achieve greatest incapacitation.” Taser states.
Watch a demonstration:
Both the Taser Shockwave and the XREP are scheduled to go into full production by the end of this year.
Taser has been the subject of much controversy and outrage. One year ago the UN’s Committee Against Torture issued a statement on the TaserX26, which read: “The use of TaserX26 weapons, provoking extreme pain, constituted a form of torture, and that in certain cases it could also cause death, as shown by several reliable studies and by certain cases that had happened after practical use.”
We still await more loving developments from Taser including the much anticipated Taser saucer.

start making our own. its very easy, you will see what i mean when police in ireland start using them, a bow and f---ing arrow is enough if you know how to fire one
October 8th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
The solution.. Find these people who manufacture these devices and use them on the manufacturers until they no longer exist…..
We have been humans for hundreds of thousands of years and deserve to be treated better by those whom our tax dollars pay their salaries…
If the police don’t feel they can accomplish their jobs without resorting to use and ABUSE of such mechanisms.. Simply DO NOT take the job…
If this cannot be accomplished.. pperhaps other methods can be used to discourage use of such devices against humans who may may be doing someithing as simple as excersizing a legal right in the US…
Somehwere in this human experiment a lot of good people are going to get killed over the cheapest of reasons… and those who promote such ideas know this in advance.
October 8th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
Tesla invented a weapon that can kill 1 million people at once and this gov’t owns the patent on it. They’ve been perfecting his s--- all along. We’ll be seeing it soon.
October 8th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
We need a silent and ready observant force to “police the police” and when the police are observed violating their duty and Oath.. then they are “policed” so that they cannot ever abuse the priviledge of being a policeman/woman again..
No excuses about the job.. If you don’t like it.. DO NOT TAKE IT… Someone will catch on sooner or later.
October 8th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
So what you’re saying Casual Observer is two wrongs make a right?
The manufacturer is Taser by the way?
Anyway, more outrage I think IS part of the answer, but just blindly coming to the conclusion of kill everyone involved while saying that we the possible targets are being treated unfairly is the kettle calling the pot black?
I don’t have a pat answer other than first…awareness…people don’t know so don’t care…then more expression of our displeasure at being treated like criminals the better.
Yeah…that might get you stunned if you play it right…but sometimes you got to hurt a little to pay a price. And no I am not downplaying the dangers of being stunned. I am simply trying to drive home the point that you can not have it both ways.
Kill them because we are humans who deserve to not be killed. Or stay silent and safe and expect change.
Sadly those are the two choices everyone expects and wants…cause…they’re the easiest.
In the end, knowledge IS power, and so is some rational thought about how to proceed.
Another big plus…putting those rational thoughts together as a people and using the power of many.

ok #1 dave, so what is the point of exploding out with the F bomb? Freedom of speech with respect to the wide range audience that you do not want to be offended with such. Take responsibility for yourself and clean it up. Let’s all clean up the nasty language and show our intelligence.
October 9th, 2008 at 3:21 am
Now they’ll just shoot everything in sight indiscriminately of whether it’s pregnant women, elderly or disabled. The ruling cabal’s Cold War against the population is gradually turning into a hot war.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:38 am
Notice how they said less lethal at the end of the XREP demo, not non lethal.
October 9th, 2008 at 6:57 am
Some idiots will make anything as long as theres a market! I agree these things should be used on the people who come up with them,shove them down their throats and turn em on see how they like it! The only response to this is with high velocity projectiles going back in their direction!
October 9th, 2008 at 8:20 am
Somebody needs to shut this company down…..where are our brave men? Who is going to save the women and children from this bs? Why do we have to live in fear? Please something must be done…….
October 9th, 2008 at 8:30 am
I think I am going to throw up……
October 9th, 2008 at 9:38 am
“Protect Life” what a joke! This is disgusting.
Where are the brains who can figure out how to circumvent these evil devices?
There must be an anti-Taser device somewhere in the Netherworld waiting for discovery!
October 9th, 2008 at 9:39 am
Me too
October 9th, 2008 at 9:52 am
At first, this stuff may intimidate peaceful demonstrators, but after the “police” start using it on them, those demonstrators may not be inclined to remain peaceful. … Which is the point. … After they’re good and riled up by the cops and agents provocateurs, the peaceful assembly can be morphed into a riot, giving the “police” a reason to use more forceful means of control. And off we go! They’re looking for ways to justify martial law. After that’s declared, they can legally shoot to kill.

WHat I am saying is there is rapidly evolving a group of humans who pick and place other humans in categories where they are protected from the abuse of humans..
Sure there are some nut cases walking the streets who behave as animals and rape and kill at random.. and if they do so openly where there is no doubt.. run them through the system and eliminate them.
There are Law enforcement officials who think that they can get away with anything because of their position and they know the system(courts and “force” will cover for them…. Those are not much better than the animals in the prior sentence.
What I am saying is those who make such devices do so to push them for profit which is becoming abused items in the present police force in the US. We do not know the statistics of harm vs. good of tazer use becauiuse no one would like the stats to come out. It may embarass someone….
If you recall a few years ago there was a major effort to ban guns using any means possible.. up to and including attempting to allow the manuafacturer to be sued for making the gun used in a crime that they had nothing to do with.
No such effort to even stop and re=examine the use of tazers.. and obviously the ones usuing them that make the news are incapable of using them correctlly.
I guess what I am saying this surge in tazer design and tazer use will eventually set up a game..where people ambush tazer usuers for fun…
Too many innocent people are being hurt by cops who do not have the evaluative people skills to assass a situation….. i.e the Canadian mother who wwouldn’t give up her child to CPS a few eeeks ago..
The manufacturers of these devices are init for the $$$$ ..
People are being used as pawns against each other…. populatin control in any form works.
SOmetimes youhave to eliminate a problem the best way you can to ensure it doesn’t return and since tazers are to control with fear.. another form of fear is acceptable to combat them. The question is.. Who determines the method of fear and how it is used. We already know the law enforcement’s side.
Stupidity is not a crime.. but it is not a barrier to other things…positive and negative.
Eventually there are going to be people so tired of the abuses that vigilantes will begin to form and react..
I.e. Simple roadside check…. scanners are used to esatblish location… group in a car loads up.. a couple of armed men get out about a 1/4 mile away and ease down to the roadblock and take some form of negative action…
Then the Hegellian effect kicks in.. problem, identify solution, correct problem ..next step problem escalates. Soon..chaos.. or organized rebellion…

PROTECT PROFIT. MY 12 GAUGE GOT SLUGS.GL TAZER BOY.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I once read that tazers can’t go through wood. Wear wood when you go to peacefully protest.
October 9th, 2008 at 12:31 pm
hey all man this is gna protect us right? its nt like any of the cops anywere are gonna use this to hurt innocents those vids they show of cops attacking innocents are staged!!!!lol yeah right love this stuff *its here to protect you” yeah jsut think tht when your lying down having spaz like attacks lol hehh
October 9th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I think this is a sign of how devolved and primitive we are. We were once a powerful and spiritually unified race. There has never been a reason for any truly evolved sentient entity in the universe to use violence against another. Our world leaders, leaving no exception whatsoever, have forgotten love a long time ago and as such they exist in a constant state of fear. Fear because their spirits know what they have done, and as much as they have seared their conscience, they cannot escape the fact that we are all spiritually unified. I personally judge myself for needing this current inadequate system of civilization to live, make a living and flourish.
To sum up I think we need to step back individually and ask ourselves if we are ready for the sacrifice we need to make, that we may proceed to the next level of evolution, level one. For we are but cavemen with personal computers and guns. The way we are going will get us nowhere. I cry for us all. Fear not though…. tomorrow is another day.
Thanks Alex for what you are doing, we pay a lot of attention to you in Africa.
October 9th, 2008 at 3:49 pm
Charles.. Perhaps we are too civilized.. There was a time when men had common respoect for each other. That has been diminished by actions based on GVTs initiating wars… Wars became a stimulus for money..
The avaerge person 100 years ago was busy going aboutthe business of living and that kept them occupied with family and with little to distract them kept the world pretty much isolated except to the few adventurers and restless soulls who traveled the world as part of their living…
Now everything is instant.. a cat commited by a person can be filmed/photographed on a cell phone and be around the wrold in less than an hour.
The convieniences of civilization and the apathy of humanity have diminished humans to a degree to little above animals…
People as as likely to observe a rape and walk by trying to avoid involvement as not.. That is where we are and what those in power want us to be like.. We have lost the art of being human.

Tasering a group of people…
Likely a child will get hit somewhere along that line. Until they taser a kid, the sheeple will not stand up. Maybe they’ll even offer up their children. Who knows for sure.
October 9th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
YOU are financing ALL of this technology!!!! What a country!
October 9th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
WOW. What alot of ignorant people. Here we have a company that makes a product that will take down a evil doer without killing. I can use this technology and so can you to get out of a unpleasant situation without killing someone and you want to jump the taser company. Wake your paranoid conspiracitic butts up to the fact that not every company is out to get you. As to their area suppression unit. please that thing might get the front row but no more. Therefore its a sales gimmick and no more
P.S. why would your kid be at a protest. Protest are for adults and your children should be at home doing their homework.
October 10th, 2008 at 2:42 am
… very usefull only if criminals can not buy it… otherwise…
witch kind of controls are made on buyers by producers ?
… when you produce something new (i.e. atomic bomb) then you will never know who will use it and why !
October 10th, 2008 at 8:38 am
In the You Tube clip, one guy is shot in the back with it !! And MI stands for myocardial infarction – heart attack. What the video says is NEUROmuscular incapacitation would be NI. When they tell you it causes an MI – THAT’S when they are telling the truth. But when a young healthy person dies in police custody it wasn’t an MI (heart attack) that caused the death – it was a new ’syndrome ‘that I read about in my local newspaper where young healthy men get so excited they just collapse and die…….you’d think sex would kill them if they can collapse from excitement!!!

go ahead i have a few tazers all 1 million volts. so bring it. and i have an array of lethal weapons also. im so sick of the way non-lethal weapons are brought to our attention, like they dont want to hurt us, but they beat up diabetics that are in hypoglycemic shock, or think that they are the law if they were the law we would have a bunch of constitutions running around instead of uptight assholes who got bullied in school so now they can take it out on someone else. WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! the police beter back the -uck off!!!!!!!!!!!! before your sorry.
October 10th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
I used to sell but these then I had some medical problems and had to quit. I would love to start again. I dont remember what company it was for.
October 10th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
What happens when the “Shockwave” prongs happen to hit someone in the eye? I’d be willing to bet that despite losing that eye (or eyes) which would obviously happen….that there indeed could/would be brain damage because of the proximity to the frontal lobe (which is also where the eyes are attached. Same goes for the XREP round which could be even more lethal that way. I swear, that should ANYTHING like that EVER happen to a loved one of mine….there’s going to be a BIG price to pay for the trigger happy prick that’s responsible. Cops are wussies in today’s day and age…plain and simple.
October 10th, 2008 at 5:30 pm
If this is such a good thing, I think it is notable that Taser’s market isn’t the Armed Forces for use in their day to day warfare. Instead they target law enforcement for control of unarmed people citizens who are very soon going to revolt against them and the rotten government they represent.

Time for aluminum chainmail.

http://s77.photobucket.com/albums/j45/Chang13A/ < this is what Real American Patriots look like. Badges or not. They hurt Mine I’m going to take them straight to hell.I notced the articles seem to depict Police Hardening thier positions. Buying refurb Armored cars, Making things like this, and now military backup.Thing is well? I don’t play games.They back us into a corner they better go get another Bunch of puppets.I don’t have any Geneva convention agreements, and after al the warcrimes that have taken place I wouldn’t care if I did.They want to produce things like THIS?All these are going to do is piss me off.I’m starting to wonder just how bad it would be if some Iraqis took out the whitehouse.”Terrorist” is a word I’d use to classify these tyrants.I saw a video on Youtube of a couple cops that Broke this old woman’s arm after punching her in the face when she retrieved her unloaded jun to answer thier questions about her having any. What a F*(king disgrace. There is NO excuse to do something that extreme and if anyone ever does that to my family then not even god will save them.Those Tazers Kill alot of people. And now they make these things?I just hope that rather than civilians rioting and killing other civilians isn’t what happens. Nope. I see them realizing how screwed this is and unifying to take this country back.The economic Mess has yet to be felt by most. I give it maybe a year.When people are ou of work by the tens of thousands and thier $5 won’t buy a loaf of bread.When they are spending 1/2 thier paycheck to drive back and forth to work and another 1/3 rd of it in taxes.I thought Ed Brown was just crazy when he stopped paying taxes, but Now I see why he did what he did.I will still pay mine.However I await the day when people stop TALKING and take action.I have a Phobia with hospitals and I have to have some serious pain inorder to take any pain relievers from one.I eat mostly things I catch and grow.Have a look at those pictures and You tell me what chance they have when this is just 1 of a million + such families…………They keep doing it , because we keep taking it and when one man does take a stand he either gets gunned down, or Imprisoned when the rest leave him holding the Bag.Reinstate your own Nieghborhood watch and we have cameras too.And how can they be sure that only one set of those leads hit each person?
All it will take is the footage of some pregnant woman losing her child on the web or some poor grandfather killed when his pacemaker gets fried.No Starwars spaceage toys will save them.We arn’t Iraqis. We know everything they know and more. You get a few hundred protestors and nothing happens.You get a few hundred thousand it’s all over.When the time comes then we wil know it.Don’t start without me.

-Taser-proof clothing-
United State Patent Office:
http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi.....=7,284,280
“Stun weapons such as the Taser shoot barbed darts into a victim, delivering a series of 50,000-volt electrical pulses.
Last week inventor Gregory Schultz of Arizona was granted a patent (US 7284280) on jackets, T-shirts and other
garments that incorporate a layer of conductive foil, which dissipates this paralysing charge. Schultz argues
that with Tasers now available to the public in the US, police will increasingly come across
Taser-equipped criminals and need protective garb.”
This is making the police state very upset, because it will render their little abuse toy, useless. The clothing is just as comfortable as everyday wear and is NO different from anyone else’s attire. Buy it people, it took a long time for us to make and will be out in the next 3-6 months. Yes it cost about 25% more than the price of a regular t-shirt or jacket but work every penny.
