. . . oh, to hell with it. What the world needs now is a Taser shotgun.
A Taser shotgun for long-range electrifying | CNET News.com: "Taser International will move into production on a projectile that can disable someone up to 98 feet away with a quick blast of electricity.
The company has successfully completed tests with the Office of Naval Research on the Extended Range Electro-Muscular Projectile (XREP). Unlike current Taser guns, this projectile is fired out of a shotgun. When it strikes a target, the projectile transmits a jolt of electricity, and a second round can then be fired.
In current Taser guns, the projectile has the same function, but it is connected to the gun and a power pack with a wire, limiting the range to 25 feet. XREPs are wireless."

I saw an article about these. It's big slug with a battery and a bunch of electrical components crammed inside. I bet they have real trouble getting it to successfully work. Especially since the article was promoting the slug's "less-than-lethal" capability if the taser does not work.
I can hear it now, "Don't XREP me, bro!"
