I'm watching Time Warp, a Discovery Channel show that's basically all about ultra-high-speed photography. They just did a segment on Tasers, and I saw what looks like an absolutely ideal home defense round for shotguns, called the Taser XREP.
Basically, it's a complete Taser that fits into a shotgun shell. I can envision it as being the first load in your home-defense shotgun...should take the BG down but not kill him, and if it doesn't work you've still got a 12-gauge in your hands.
To me, that's better than a hand-held Taser, because you've got the lethal option immediately available as your second shot. Of course, you could always go for stingballs as a first non-lethal round, but I think Tasers are probably more effective at stopping people.
Unfortuntely, this seems to be for law enforcement only. If it were available for civilians I'd buy one in a heartbeat.
Anybody know where you can get one of these?
