[Cherlin]

Taser wird eine der Top Aktien für dieses jahr, allerdingsvwürde ich mit einem Einstieg noch ein paar Tage warten, da der Wert gerade an einem Widerstand nach unten abgeprallt ist.
Also ich schätze 5-7% unter aktuellem Niveau: kaufen

Taser International verkaufen
Quelle: Pacific Continental Sec.
Datum: 23.02.06

Die Wertpapierexperten von "pacconsec.de" bleiben bei ihrem "verkaufen"-Rating für die Aktie von Taser International (ISIN US87651B1044/ WKN 676681).

Der US-Hersteller von Betäubungswaffen habe gestern Zahlen für das vierte Quartal und das Gesamtjahr 2005 vorgestellt. Hier habe der Konzern einen kräftigen Gewinnrückgang hinnehmen müssen.

So habe Taser für das Schlussquartal des abgelaufenen Jahres einen Nettogewinn von 92.697 USD bzw. 0 Cents je Aktie ausgewiesen, nachdem im Vorjahr noch 4,7 Mio. USD bzw. 0,07 USD je Aktie verbucht worden seien. Der Umsatz sei dabei um 34 Prozent auf 12,6 Mio. USD deutlich gesunken.

Auch im Gesamtjahr sehe die Situation nicht besser aus. Der Nettogewinn sei hier von 18,9 Mio. USD bzw. 0,30 USD je Aktie auf nun 1 Mio. USD bzw. 0,02 USD je Aktie eingebrochen. Damit habe die Gesellschaft auch die Erwartungen des Marktes (0,03 USD) nicht treffen können. Der Umsatz sei um 30 Prozent auf 47,7 Mio. USD ebenfalls deutlich zurückgegangen.

Hintergrund seien die in die Kritik geratenen Produkte von Taser. So würden Sicherheitsbedenken bei der Anwendung dieser Betäubungswaffen bestehen. Die Taser-Produkte würden anscheinend mit einigen Todesfällen in Verbindung stehen, weshalb sich der Konzern mit einer Reihe von Klagen konfrontiert sehe - derzeit gebe es 43 offene Klagen. Vor diesem Hintergrund arbeite die Gesellschaft an ihrem angeschlagenen Image, weshalb in 2005 7 Mio. USD für Anwälte, Public Relations etc. aufgewendet worden seien.

Für die Wertpapierexperten stelle sich nun die Frage, wann der Tiefpunkt erreicht werde. Die laufenden Klagen seien ein großer Risikofaktor und die Aussichten seien mäßig. Marktexperten würden für 2006 mit weiter sinkenden Umsätzen rechnen. Erst ab 2007 könnte es mit den Umsätzen ein wenig aufwärts gehen.

Die Aktie habe sich zuletzt charttechnisch stark gezeigt. So sei der Kurs in einem steilen Aufwärtstrend innerhalb kurzer Zeit von 6 USD auf 11 USD gestiegen. Aktuell notiere der Kurs bei 10,20 USD. Fundamental sei der Anstieg jedoch nicht nachvollziehbar. So mache der Titel hinsichtlich der schwachen Perspektiven und des hohen Risikoprofils auf dem aktuellen Kursniveau einen zu hoch bewerteten Eindruck.

Vor diesem Hintergrund bleiben die Wertpapierexperten von "pacconsec.de" bei ihrem "verkaufen"-Rating für die Taser-Aktie.

New TASER C2 Personal Protector Debuts At Consumer Electronics Show
Incorporates Revolutionary SureCheck Background Check Technology
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Jan. 8, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced personal protection devices, today unveils the new TASER(r) C2 Personal Protector product line at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

"The TASER C2 is the next generation in personal protection," said Tom Smith, Chairman of TASER International, Inc. "TASER International was founded to create safer personal protection alternatives, while utilizing technologies to maximize public safety and minimize the potential for misuse -- and the TASER C2 continues in that tradition."

The TASER C2 is the first device to incorporate a revolutionary new public safety background check technology called SureCheck(tm). With SureCheck, TASER C2 units are shipped in an inactivated state. They cannot be used until the end user successfully completes a background check from the privacy of their own home using a secure web site or a toll-free 800 number. After completing the background check, the user is issued an activation code unique to their serial number. Only after entering the activation code can the TASER C2 be operated.

"SureCheck is one more way TASER International is ensuring that our devices are properly used for self protection," added Smith. "The TASER C2 cartridge also continues to include our unique Anti-Felon Identification (AFID) program that disperses 20-30 serialized confetti whenever a TASER Cartridge is deployed, identifying the owner of the TASER system which has proved successful in deterring criminal use for the past 13 years."

The TASER C2 is available in a variety of colors -- Black Pearl, Titanium Silver, Electric Blue, and Metallic Pink. The unit also features a highly intuitive safety cover and trigger design that novice users can easily operate, yet protects the trigger from accidental activation to provide a safer, effective means of personal protection.

The new consumer-friendly design eliminates many of the high-end professional features such as dataport management, digital displays, and the TASER CAM interface, enabling the TASER C2 to be available at a lower cost. "We also we eliminated many of the high-end professional features such as dataport management, digital displays, and the TASER CAM interface, enabling us to make the TASER C2 available at a lower price point, starting as low as $299 while maintaining the effectiveness for which TASER products are known," continued Smith.

The TASER C2 package includes the TASER C2, a smaller and newly designed disposable TASER Cartridge, and training DVD. The TASER C2 has a 15-foot range and is available with or without integrated laser sight. First shipments are scheduled for April, 2007.

"We encourage interested people to stop by the Sands Convention Center booth #70805 at CES or visit www.TASER.com on Monday, January 8 for more information," concluded Smith.

Taser International Kursziel 10 USD


Graz (aktiencheck.de AG) - Die Experten von Jaindl & Mautz sehen das Kursziel für die Aktie von Taser International (ISIN US87651B1044/ WKN 676681) bei 10 US-Dollar.
Der Spezialist für Elektroschockwaffen habe höchstwahrscheinlich das Schlimmste hinter sich. In den letzten 12 Monaten seien immer wieder Klagen bezüglich Todesfälle in Verbindung mit der Elektroschusswaffe auf den Konzern zugekommen. Mittlerweise jedoch seien 33 Verfahren infolge zugunsten von Taser entschieden worden und so würden mehrheitlich alle Marktteilnehmer davon ausgehen, dass es zu keinem gerichtlichen Nachspiel kommen werde.

Viele Staaten und Länder hätten sich vergangenes Jahr mit der Bestellung von neuen Waffen zurückgehalten, da man zuerst den Ausgang der Verfahren habe abwarten müssen. Auch die Einführung einer kommerziellen Taser Waffe für den US-Markt sollte der Aktie Auftrieb geben.

Wie bereits Mitte des vorigen Jahres sei der Ausbruch aus der Korrektur geglückt. Weiteren Schwung sollte man in der kommenden Woche durch neue Quartalsergebnisse bekommen. Langfristig lägen die ersten Widerstände erst wieder bei rund 10 US-Dollar.

Somit ergibt sich für den Kurs der Aktie von Taser International vom momentanen Stand aus zumindest eine gute 25%-Chance, so die Experten von Jaindl & Mautz. Positionen sollten mit einem Stopp-Loss-Limit bei 7,28 US-Dollar abgesichert werden. (15.02.2007/ac/a/a) Analyse-Datum: 15.02.2007

Taser International Hits 3-Year High After Announcing 2 New Orders

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Taser International Inc. hit a three-year high on Wednesday, after the stun gun maker disclosed two orders which an analyst expects to lift second-quarter sales above Wall Street expectations.

The stock gained 36 cents, or 3.4 percent, to $10.81, after hitting $11.22 earlier in the session, eclipsing a prior high of $10.62. Shares changed hands in over three times average trading volume of around 1.6 million shares.

The orders from the South Carolina Department of Public Safety and the Bridgeport Police Department in Connecticut are expected to ship in the second quarter. Although financial terms of the contracts were not disclosed, Merriman Curhan Ford & Co. analyst Eric Wold valued the orders at a combined $550,000.

Wold expects the orders to lift second-quarter sales above his $21.1 million estimate, especially on top of other orders from three U.S. police departments: the Washington State Police, the Tallahassee, Fla., department and the Scottsdale, Ariz., department. All three orders are expected to ship in the second quarter.

Wall Street expects $21 million in second-quarter sales, according to a Thomson Financial poll of analysts.

Meanwhile, Taser recently received an order from a foreign law-enforcement agency for $1.4 million in stun guns. Wold said further gains from doing business abroad are imminent, especially because Taser has penetrated less than 5 percent of the international market.

"We believe we are on the cusp of seeing an acceleration of international orders for Taser, with this expected to take place as soon as the second half of 2007," Wold wrote in a client note.

TASER International Clarifies Discovery Issue in Patent Litigation

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 31, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices, clarifies the protective order in TASER v. Stinger (Federal Case CV07-0042-PHX-MHM) patent infringement lawsuit. This order was granted to obtain schematics and samples of the competitor's product to evaluate for infringement of TASER International's issued patents. This is a standard operating procedure in litigation discovery when competitive information must be shared under protection by the courts.

Contrary to the mischaracterization in a press release Stinger issued this morning, the technology subject to discovery has nothing to do with TASER International's wireless eXtended Range Electronic Projectile (XREP) program. TASER International has been developing a wireless projectile system for the past five years, which was demonstrated by live firings for our military customers in January 2006. TASER International's wireless XREP technology is currently in limited production and well over 500 rounds were deployed in extensive pre-release validation. Several TASER XREP patents have already been issued and medical studies of its effects are in the peer review process for publication. There is nothing applicable in the information related to this legal discovery procedure that has any bearing on the XREP program.

"The fact remains that in our evaluation, and that of independent users, the competitor's technology does not stop aggressive attackers," commented Doug Klint, General Counsel for TASER International. "TASER International's patented waveforms have been studied by numerous researchers and institutions worldwide and have stood up to the rigors of the courts. The devices to be obtained under this discovery order are for use in our patent litigation against Stinger. TASER International has no interest in utilizing these less than effective, untested waveforms in our products now or in the future."

TASER International Announces New Vice President of International Sales

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices, announced that it has hired Scott J. Mustian as Vice President of International Sales.

Mustian brings more than 15 years experience in sales management and marketing to TASER International, including extensive international experience. Mustian received a BA in finance from the University of Kentucky in Lexington in 1985 and an MBA in marketing from Indiana University in Bloomington in 1991. He started his career in 1985 at the Procter & Gamble Company in Cincinnati, OH, followed by working as a District Representative for U.S. Congressman Bill Gradison in Cincinnati.

Over the past 16 years, Mustian has worked in the medical device and consumer appliance industries. While with Whirlpool Corporation, he was based in Tokyo, Japan and Singapore working on the company's expansion in Asia. During his career with Hill-Rom Company, the world's leading supplier of hospital beds and patient care equipment, Mustian was Director of International Sales and Marketing responsible for global distributor sales. From 2002 to 2005, he was based in Hong Kong leading a turnaround of Hill-Rom's Asia region, establishing a new sales company in Australia, and successfully restructuring distribution in China.

"We are delighted to have Scott join our team," said Kathy Hanrahan, President of TASER International. "His experience in developing and growing international sales channels is crucial for us as we take our international sales growth to the next level. Throughout the recruiting process, Mustian demonstrated an expertise and passion for working with international customers that will be an important addition to the TASER International management team," said Ms. Hanrahan.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to join this dynamic company," commented Mustian. "TASER International is revolutionizing methods to protect lives. I am looking forward to the opportunity to becoming a part of this team and building on the international success that TASER International has already achieved."

Video: Time to Buy TASER?

By Mac Greer June 1, 2007

With new orders on the way and a stock on the rise, it's been a good couple of weeks for TASER (Nasdaq: TASR). And while I like the idea behind TASER technology, I'm less sure about TASER the company. After all, this is a company that has generated a lot of controversy over the last few years. What's behind TASER's latest success? Should investors take a second look? And what does it look like when the president of TASER gets tased? In our latest installment of Fool Video, I talk TASER with Motley Fool contributor Tim Beyers.

Wenn sich das Teil erst mal durchsetzt und die alten Befürchtungen von wegen der Gefährlichkeit zu den Akten gelegt sind, gibt es für den Kurs kein halten mehr. Auch in unseren Breiten wird der Einsatz von Tasern immer mehr zunehmen, was größere Aufträge erwarten lässt.



Nach der Novellierung des bayerischen Polizeiaufgabengesetzes am 14. Dezember 2005 sind nach §61 neben Schlagstock, Pistole, Revolver, Gewehr, Maschinenpistole, Maschinengewehr und Handgranate auch „Elektroimpulsgeräte und vergleichbare Waffen“ als Waffen der bayerischen Polizei zulässig.
In Hamburg verabschiedete der CDU-Senat unter Bürgermeister Ole von Beust und Innensenator Udo Nagel im Juni 2005 ein neues Polizeigesetz, das u.a. auch die Einführung von Taser-Waffen vorsieht.
Die Bundesinnenministerkonferenz hat 2006 empfohlen, dass die Polizei-Spezialeinsatzkommandos aller Bundesländer den Taser anschaffen.

Am 26. Juli 2003 wurde vom Schweizer Bundesamt für Polizeiwesen die Verwendung der Waffen "Advanced Taser M26" und "TASER X26 EMD" ("EMD" steht hier für "elektro-muskulare Disruption") durch die Polizeibehörden genehmigt. Die Elektroschock-Waffe «Taser» ist seit Anfang 2005 für die Sondereinheit «Enzian» der Kantonspolizei Bern freigegeben und wurde am 30. Dezember 2006 erstmals eingesetzt.

Im Februar 2006 wurden 20 Taser an oberösterreichische Polizisten verteilt. Zum ersten Einsatz eines Tasers kam es am 7. Juli 2006, als ein Polizist bei einer Kontrolle einen professionellen moldawischen Einbrecher während eines Fluchtversuchs aus etwa zwei Metern Entfernung mit zwei Schüssen außer Gefecht setzte.

Auch bei der Wiener Spezialeinheit WEGA ist der Taser in Verwendung.

Taser International stark kaufen


Graz (aktiencheck.de AG) - Die Experten von Jaindl & Mautz stufen die Aktie von Taser International mit dem Rating "stark kaufen" ein. Der Wahlsieg in der gestrigen französischen Stichwahl von Sarkozy könnte nun kurzfristig zu Aufträgen für Taser in der Höhe von USD 100 bis USD 120 Millionen führen.

Die Experten würden demnach heute bei der Eröffnung der NASDAQ einen stärkeren Kursanstieg in diesem Wertpapier erwarten.

Ich bin auch in Taser investiert und überzeugt dass wir hier noch Höchststände sehen werden. Vor allem im internationalen Handel ist enormer Nachholbedarf sollten ersteinmal größere Orders aus Europa eintreffen was nur eine Frage der Zeit sein wird, dann gibt es kein halten mehr.Und auch im Inland wird die neue revolutionäre X26 Elektroschockpistole neue Orders der Us-Polizei mit sich ziehen. Der Aktionär empfahl die Aktie in der letzten Ausgabe mit Kursziel 6€. Leider werden die Stücke in Deutschland nur sehr begrenzt gehandelt. Eine Top-Aktie die von den steigenden Terrorängsten enorm profitieren wird, denn die Frage nach Besserer Bewaffnung von Sicherheitskräften ist auf der ganzen Welt zu hören.Grüße aus Bayern,

Sarkozy Victory Could Juice Taser

Taser electrified investors Monday, juiced by upcoming legislative elections in France. The shares of the Scottsdale, Az.-based stun gun company rocketed 88 cents, or 8.1%, to $11.78.

Eric Wold, an analyst with Merriman Curhan Ford, said that if French president Nicolas Sarkozy’s party--the Union for a Popular Movement--wins the June 17 elections it would have the largest majority since 1958. This would pave the way for reforms and policies, which could include the purchase of Tasers (nasdaq: tasr - news - people ) for French police. “So I guess people are pretty much putting two and two together and the likelihood of getting a major order out of France is definitely increasing,” Wold said.

In August of last year, under President Jacques Chirac, the Police Nationale and Gendarmerie Nationale approved the sale of 5,000 Tasers. But additional purchases to equip all 250,000 of France’s police officers were delayed until after the presidential elections, which took place May 6. On May 7, the day after the election, shares of Taser jumped to a high of $10.25, closing at $9.92. On May 4, two days before the election, the high was $9.63.

If a stun gun is purchased for every police officer in France, sales of Tasers in the country would reach $300 million, Wold said. For fiscal year 2007, Taser’s sales as a whole are estimated at $88 million, with projected sales for fiscal year 2008 expected to reach $109 million.

Wold said the company had heard Sarkozy planned on purchasing 100,000 Tasers near-term, which equals $120 million in sales.

Wold maintains “Buy” rating on the stock.

TASER International to Introduce Wireless eXtended Range Electronic Projectile At Annual TASER Tactical Conference July 9

Keynote Address Open to Media for Product Introduction for the First Time

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 14, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR) a market leader in advanced electronic control devices today announced it will introduce its much-anticipated XREP wireless 12-gauge Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) projectile at the annual TASER(r) Tactical Conference on July 9, 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. The Conference, normally restricted to active duty law enforcement and military officers, will include an open session for media to attend the keynote address by Tom and Rick Smith, Chairman and CEO respectively, at the conference's opening from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.

"The Wireless eXtended Range Electronic Projectile (XREP) is truly a revolutionary technology breakthrough, culminating five years of intensive research and development and a dream that began 14 years ago with the founding of TASER International," said Rick Smith, CEO. "The XREP introduces not only amazingly miniaturized TASER technology, but groundbreaking flight stabilization and microprocessor-controlled intelligent electrode selection technologies - in a package that weighs only 14 grams, or half an ounce. The XREP projectile is, by an order of magnitude, the most sophisticated weapon system ever launched from a 12-gauge shotgun platform."

XREP product images, video demonstrations, and public specifications will not be released until the keynote presentation. Limited previews of advanced features will be posted on TASER International's website at www.TASER.com/XREP - with the keynote address and full product features being released on July 9.

The Company plans to release the XREP into a field test for 6 to 12 months starting in the fall of 2007, with full release of production in 2008 upon completion of the field trial phase. Law enforcement, military, and press can sign up to attend the TASER Tactical Conference (Media may attend the keynote XREP demonstration only) at www.TASER.com/XREP.

Taser Wins Patent Suit Against Employee

Taser Says Court Rules Former Patent Attorney Must Surrender Rights, Claims to Patents

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Taser International Inc., a maker of electric shock weapons, said Friday a court ruled the company's former patent attorney must surrender any claims he has or may have to patents related to Taser's weapons.

Taser had sued Thomas Watkins III for alleged breach of fiduciary duty, constructive fraud and breach of contract. Previously, the court had said Watkins represented Taser without letting the company know about interests he had that were adverse to the company, and, as a result, Taser was harmed.

The ruling Taser announced Friday was a final judgment.

Watkins was not immediately available for comment.

Taser said the Superior Court of Arizona for Maricopa County ordered Watkins to surrender "all right, title, and interest that Watkins has, claims to have, or may have in certain United States patents, patent applications, related electrical stun technology, electronic weapon technology, or any component or process thereof, whether or not patented or patentable."

Sarkozy Victory Leaves Taser Flat
Ruthie Ackerman, 06.18.07, 3:45 PM ET


The combination of Nicolas Sarkozy’s win in the second and final legislative elections in France on June 17 and the dismissal of three product-liability lawsuits against Taser International (nasdaq: tasr - news - people ) should have sent the stun gun company’s shares through the roof.

Instead shares of the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company fell 8 cents, or 0.7%, to $12.21 Monday afternoon.

Matthew G. McKay, an analyst at Jeffries & Co., said that although Sarkozy’s election is a signal that France supports his policies, the level of urgency and the schedule of a Taser rollout is still unclear. “It may be where they start with outfitting some of the more highly trained police officers with Tasers and go from there,” McKay said. “I would be somewhat surprised if they all of a sudden bought 100,000 Tasers to put in every police cruiser, but I guess it could happen.”

Last week, shares of Taser zapped to a high of $11.93 following the first legislative elections in France, a signal that investors believed a rollout was imminent (See “ Sarkozy Victory Pumps Up Taser”). But McKay says that there was other noise in the stock that pushed it up including: A rumor that California highway patrol was going to make a purchase, a growing anticipation about second quarter results and the upcoming launch of the C2, a consumer product that looks like a cell phone and is aimed at women in the marketplace.

In August of last year, under then-President Jacques Chirac, the French Police Nationale and Gendarmerie Nationale approved the purchase of 5,000 Tasers. At the time Sarkozy was the interior minister and investors believed that additional purchases to equip all 250,000 of France’s police officers were going to be delayed until after the presidential elections, which took place May 6. The day after the presidential elections, shares of Taser jumped to a high of $10.25, closing at $9.92.

Were a stun gun purchased for every police officer in France sales of Taser in the country would reach $300 million. For fiscal year 2007, Taser’s sales as a whole are estimated at $88 million, with projected sales for 2008 expected at $109 million.

McKay says that there should be some orders out of France in the second half of the year. There are also 44 countries that have started Taser programs, and could make large purchases as well.

McKay has a “buy” rating on the stock with a price target of $13.

TASER International White Paper Indicates TASER Devices Reduce Excessive Use of Force Liability Claims and Litigation Against Law Enforcement

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 26, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices, announced the release of a TASER Liability and Litigation white paper which documents the success TASER International has had in defeating product liability litigation and how the TASER device can reduce the risk of excessive use of force claims and litigation filed against law enforcement agencies and officers.

"In light of our 51st court dismissal in favor of TASER International, I have provided a white paper that analyzes our litigation track record and excessive use of force litigation against law enforcement," said Doug Klint, TASER International's Vice President and General Counsel. "Over the past few years we have accumulated compelling field statistics documenting significant injury reductions from TASER device use, risk management reviews showing how the TASER device can reduce excessive use of force claims, and court decisions holding that use of TASER(r) technology does not per se constitute excessive use of force. The conclusions indicate that court rulings and statistics from law enforcement agencies confirm that the deployment of a TASER electronic control device (ECD) is a reasonable use of force and plays a key role in reducing excessive use of force liability claims and litigation against law enforcement. The savings that results from this reduction in excessive use of force liability claims and litigation is a very important economic benefit to law enforcement agencies that deploy TASER ECDs," said Klint.

TASER International recently announced that it has achieved a company milestone with its 51st lawsuit dismissal record and no losses.

Taser links up with iRobot for stunning new products
by Michael Kanellos

Taser International, the people who make the stun guns, and iRobot have kicked off a collaboration to develop machines for the military and police agencies that ideally will incapacitate, but not kill, suspects.

Thus, instead of sending a rookie cop into a strip club to break up a fight between a bouncer and a coked-up drummer from a heavy-metal band, the robot can do it for him.

And think of the improvements in crowd control you could achieve at those messy Greenpeace rallies.

The two companies have already integrated a Taser X26 stun gun--also known as "an electronic control device," in Taser talk--on to an iRobot PackBot, the mobile military robot created by the company. PackBots have been used to perform reconnaissance in the caves of Afghanistan during combat situations and to investigate potential roadside bombs in Iraq, among other assignments.

Colin Angle, one of iRobot's founders, has in the past talked about rigging up PackBots, which can accept a wide variety of attachments, with nonlethal weapons as a way to cut down on military and civilian fatalities.

"We've evolved beyond Vietnam, where they would tie a rope around someone and lower them in a cave so if they got shot, they (could) pull them out," he said in a 2005 interview. "Every time you go in a door, you have to make a decision. Do you jump in? You could get shot. Do you throw a grenade in? It could blow up an innocent person in the room. The robot's true value is...decreasing the battlefield fog.

Other companies have created robots mounted with machine guns, but these have not been used extensively by the military.

iRobot also makes the popular Roomba vacuum cleaner and other household robots. Many of these can accept payloads too. Conceivably, you could one day see a Roomba that zaps intruders, rodents and household pets.

In the interests of editorial disclosure, I'm actually somewhat familiar with the products from both companies and have been impressed. We had a Scooba in the house for a few weeks for testing and found it remarkable.

Back in 2004, I also voluntarily got zapped with a Taser. It felt like being dipped into a vat of boiling oil while having nails driven through my hands. But if I ever had a subconscious desire to rob a convenience store, that one second blast got rid of it.

And the numb sensation in my hands faded after a while.

Taser goes wireless
by Jonathan Skillings

Up to now, Taser stun guns have been short-range gadgets that deliver their jolt of electricity through wires linking the gun and the projectile. (Think Ben Stiller and Dustin Hoffman getting zapped in Meet the Fockers.) On Monday, the company plans to introduce its first-ever wireless device in Chicago at the Taser Tactical Conference for members of law enforcement and military organizations,

Taser's new XREP packs its neuromuscular punch in a self-contained half-ounce projectile, the company says. Another convenient feature is that the XREP can be fired from a standard 12-gauge shotgun.

Taser plans to start a field test of the XREP in the fall. After six to 12 months of testing, it's expected to get a full production release sometime in 2008. The company is being stingy about sharing details of the wireless zapper in the days before Monday's unveiling, but more than a year ago, the word was that a forthcoming Taser shotgun projectile might work at ranges approaching 100 feet.

By comparison, the consumer-oriented Taser C2 has a range of just 15 feet. Plus, those annoying wires.

Shockwave Arrives At Annual TASER Conference

TASER Also Demonstrates eXtended Range Projectile and iRobot Proof-of-Concept

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 9, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- TASER International, Inc. (Nasdaq:TASR), a market leader in advanced electronic control devices, today unveiled their new product lines at the opening day of the annual TASER Tactical Conference in Chicago, Illinois. TASER revealed their latest innovation for military use, the TASER(r) Shockwave(tm), a command activated area denial system consisting of a modular 6-shot TASER electronic control device (ECD) that covers a 22-degree arc with 25-ft XP TASER Cartridges.

"This past year, TASER International formed a Senior Executive Advisory Board (SEAB), comprised of leading military and federal agency experts to provide guidance on how to adapt our technology for military and homeland security application," said Rick Smith, CEO and co-founder of TASER International. "The TASER Shockwave addresses the need for enhanced area denial and force protection at checkpoints where life-and-death decisions must be made instantaneously."

Addressing an audience of several hundred law enforcement and military officers, Smith explained that when activated, Shockwave units saturate an area with TASER Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI), providing the first area-target system capable of not only denying personnel but also incapacitating persons utilizing reversible non-lethal effects by delivering five seconds of NMI, much like the current TASER X26 electronic control device.

"Shockwave is designed to be a fully modular system, allowing the end user complete flexibility to deploy as needed to achieve the desired objective," said Smith. "Units can be stacked side by side, vertically, or can be 'daisy-chained' together in limitless combinations to allow an optimized response for every deployment. Shockwave units can also be mounted on vehicles to provide enhanced force protection during military operations in urban environments."

TASER also introduced the company's revolutionary eXtended Range Electronic Projectile (XREP) with wireless NMI technology designed to be launched from a 12-gauge shotgun. Weighing less than half an ounce, the XREP is the world's first wireless electronic control device. The company revealed several revolutionary technologies embedded in the XREP, including:


1. The XREP Engine: an electronic payload that delivers NMI from a
package that weighs less than 2.5 grams

2. Torsion Spring Fins: A radical new flight stability technology
that uses spring deployed fins to spin stabilize a projectile fired
from a smooth bore shotgun

3. Recoil Electrode Deployment: A new technique to spread a secondary
electrode contact on target by redirecting energy from the impact
of the projectile to launch a secondary electrode away from the
subject on a tether, which re-engages at a separate body location

4. Reflex Engagement Electrodes: A method which utilizes the reflexes
of the target to attach secondary electrodes which separate from
the initial point of impact for enhanced NMI effects; and

5. Intelligent Electrode Selection: A new technique wherein an
on-board microprocessor inside the XREP monitors to detect
connections between different electrodes and automatically
redirects NMI discharges to the optimal electrode set.
TASER's collaboration with iRobot Corp (Nasdaq:IRBT), aimed at developing a new robotic capability utilizing TASER technologies on iRobot(r) platforms, was also highlighted at the Tactical Conference. The strategic alliance with iRobot Corp. will allow the two companies to work collaboratively to integrate TASER(r) NMI technology into the iRobot PackBot(r) Explorer(tm) and other future robotic platforms.

"We have come a long way over the past couple of years," explained Tom Smith, Chairman and TASER International co-founder. "This is an exciting time for the company and we look forward and remain dedicated to creating technologies that provide personal and national security that ultimately protect life."

Photos and video of Shockwave activated area denial system, TASER XREP and the iRobot collaboration are available at www.TASER.com.

Taser creates electric shotgun And robots get stun guns
By Chris Williams → More by this author

Published Tuesday 10th July 2007 10:23 GMT

Taser, the stun gun company, has announced a shotgun cartridge which fires a wireless electric shock round to knock down a person up to 65 feet away.
The 2.4 gram TASER XREP (pictured) leaves an ordinary 12-gauge barrel at about 300 feet per second. When it hits, as well as providing "blunt impact", four barbed electrodes puncture clothes to deliver the same painful jolt as one of the firm's handheld weapons. The 20-second shock comes from a lithium ion battery.

It's in pilot for the next six to 12 months, and is expected to cost about $99 a shot on release.

XREP was one of a trio of new initiatives at yesterday's annual conference of the world's leading electropain outfit. There is also a deal with robotics firm iRobot to slap remote-controlled electric shock weaponry onto machines used by the military and police.
A third application of "Neuro-Muscular Incapactation" will see a battery of six wired taser darts sprayed simultaneously in a 20 degree arc. The Taser Shockwave is aimed at border guards who feel the need to take down several people.

At the launch, Taser CEO Rick Smith said: "The TASER Shockwave addresses the need for enhanced area denial and force protection at checkpoints where life-and-death decisions must be made instantaneously."
Translation: it really hurts and there's a better chance a panicked grunt won't kill someone than if he reaches for the M16.
There's a load more info, including some pretty creepy promotional videos, here. The new designs are just the latest fruits of Taser's efforts to apply cattle prod technology to as many situations as possible. At CES this year, it launched a version for consumers, in five pretty colours.®
