Introducing the TASER XREP – the eXtended Range Electronic Projectile.


XREP is a self-contained, wireless projectile that fires from a standard 12-gauge shotgun. It delivers the same Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) bio-effect as our handheld TASER X26, but can be delivered to a distance of up to 100 feet, combining blunt impact with field proven TASER NMI.

The nose assembly of the XREP contains 4 forward facing barbed electrodes and the collapsible electrode cowling. On impact, the forward facing barbed electrodes attach to the body of the target.

The energy from the impact breaks a series of fracture pins that release the main chassis of the XREP which remains connected to the nose by a Kevlar reinforced fiber. As the chassis falls away, 6 cholla electrodes automatically deploy. Named after the famous desert cactus, the cholla electrodes penetrate clothing to deliver the TASER XREP’s powerful NMI over a greater body mass.

Another innovative and unique feature of the XREP nose is the reflex engagement electrode. A normal reaction to the pain of a projectile impact is for the subject to grab at the impact site. If the subject tries to grab or disconnect the XREP projectile, the reflex engagement electrodes complete a circuit allowing TASER NMI to discharge from the Nose Electrodes, through the subject’s body, out to the hand that grabbed the XREP. This creates a significant spread that allows the XREP pulses to affect a large body mass, causing overpowering Neuro Muscular Incapacitation

Actually only read about this in an issue of Popular Science.....

ps, I know ans understand that Tazer Topics are sensitive topics .
I am posting for informational purposes only.
Maybe we need a technical tactical weapons page for Zombie Patrol ?
 
That thing sounds deadly.. I wonder what the chances are that it could kill as well as incapassitate do to the fact there does not seem to be any human control over when it shocks and when it doesent.. Wonder if you have to keep it on a charger all night ;)

a zombie section would be fun.
 
I'm not a fan of "non-lethal projectiles". When I did my crowd control course we got to fire beanbag rounds from shotguns and sponge rounds out of our M203s. We used galvanized steel garbage cans as targets. All of these rounds knocked huge dents into the cans. Some even penetrated the cans and had enough power to dent the other side. If we had been firing at ditances of 10 meters and under I'm sure we could have gotten more penetrating hits than we did at 30 meters.

Firing a tazer out of a shotgun seems like a bit of a risk. If it can go out to 100 feet then I'm sure it will have enough power to kill at closer ranges. May as well just rack a 00 buck into the chamber instead. If this round were adopted it would require a lot of training and practice to use it safely without killing the suspect/perp/upset guy in airport.:confused:
 
Yea for humans that seems like a really, really bad idea. Can you say OUCH? That thing would be insanely nasty inside of 50 feet I'd bet. And I'm only talking about the blunt force and barbed tips!

Zombie's on the other hand...I'll stick with buck.

I agree that it would hurt but it would not necessarily be lethal just because it can travel that distance, anything can travel 100 feet... including the 14 grain pellets from my airguns.
 
Well correct me if I'm wrong but don't tasers effect the neuromuscular system? And since zombies only opperate on basic instincs but they still require brain functions to live(uh unlive?). So if a shock could disrupt those neuro pathways wouldent it still disable them?

Not as effective as buck shot though ;)

I dunno about all that neuro pathway stuff but in essence although zombies are horribly ferocious and ruthless, and nothing like it's previously living counterpart, they still depend on the human body. Electricity causes muscles to convulse and seize for a normal human, so I can't see why zombies would be immune. But I do think that due to feeling no pain, they would get back up in no time at all unless the brain took extensive damage. Basically... I agree :) lol
 
Basically, according to my understanding, if the charge was high enough to cause neuromuscular contractions, this causes skeletal muscle contractions as well. Even a zombie requires the use of it's muscles to move. They would be incapacitated the same as a human, but once the charge let up, look out! The best choice would be to have the taser round in hand for when you are running, and a zombie gets close, drop it into the chamber and fire, follow with a mix of #4, 00 and 000 shot for the rest. Oh and hope you have a big, long tube mag. :)

Yes they do. And I agree with your premise to a degree. They die by damaging the brain or brain stem, so it must be that the brain is required. Is it required to "move" dead tissue? Or just just as a processing centre for the basic carnal thoughts and instincts? :confused:

If you go with the "reanimated corpse" theory, I doubt it would work as no heartbeat would indicate no requirement for brain signals. No brain signal to overload. Zombie eats you. :(

If you subscribe to the "caused by infection" or "plague zombie" theory, then we are talking living creatures, which would require brain signals to move muscles. The signal should therefore cause the same effect as regular humans. :)

To correct a misunderstanding regarding tasers though, they don't "shock" anything. They reproduce the same signal the brain sends to a certain type of muscle group. I can't remember the name of the group, but it's basically the ones that can be controlled consciously. "Automatic" muscles like the heart are not effected, or aren't supposed to be. The output on a taser is such a small amperage, there is no "shock". Basically, it's like a muscle cramp.... on ALL of you. Are zombies brains still working on a similar "power level" as humans, so that the signal would be interpreted by the brain of the zombie the same way? Do they feel pain, as that's what causes the eventual compliance by sentient beings, like humans. Like that tasered bull video, would zombies just get up pissed? :eek:

I would use "O" buck. :D

Besides, one of these rounds probably costs 50 bucks or more. You can get a lot of buck for the same bucks. :rolleyes:
