How Stuff Works, XREP Edition

TASER XREP

TASER XREP

Over the years the Discovery Channel has been a great partner in helping demonstrate and explain TASER technology to its viewers. They’ve done some very well received features on popular shows like Future Weapons and Time Warp.

Most recently, they’ve featured the TASER XREP, or eXtended Range Electronic Projectile, on the popular website howstuffworks.com. It’s the first time that TASER technology has been packaged in a small projectile (12 gauge shotgun shell) with long range capabilities (about 75 feet). 

Check out the story at How Stuff Work’s site. They’ve done a remarkably thorough job.
