Taser International Inc. has set a late-July introduction for the latest in its line of stun guns, which can hit up to three targets instead of just one.
Taser (Nasdaq:TASR) announced Wednesday it would have the company’s new X3 device ready by its annual conference in Fountain Hills on July 27.
The Scottsdale-based company says the device relies on new technology it has developed called rotational pulse drive, which allows the stun gun to alternate the electronic current, allowing three shots.
“The X3 is the culmination of over four years of intense research and development and offers exponentially increased capabilities, including vastly enhanced data, networking and communication functionality as well as enhanced safety features,” said Rick Smith, CEO and founder of Taser.
Taser has been pumping more money into research and development during the past year and has rolled out several products this year. In the spring, the company released its AXON tactical computer, which can record images seen by law enforcement officials and its Evidence.com site for storing data. Earlier this week, the company released its eXtended Range Electronic Projectile, a shotgun-based wireless device that has a longer range than the company’s other products.

Now it it shot 48 charged darts that would be pretty cool
for crowd control. I’d have’em rolling in the isles.
Now maybe the cops can stop killing the Chihuahas when they show up at the wrong address with the SWAT team to serve a parking ticket warrant at 3:00 AM.
