A Taser is an electroshock weapon meant to stun a targeted subject from a distance. Currently there are two main police models, the M26 and X26. Both come with various accessories, including a laser sight and mounted digital video camera that can record in low-light situations. Taser International is also marketing a civilian model called the C2 (taser). Taser is in talks with the US Marine Corps in creating the XREP (eXtended Range Electronic Projectile), a wireless Taser round that can be fired from a 12 gauge shotgun.Tasers were introduced as a less-than-lethal weapon to be used by police to subdue fleeing, belligerent, or potentially dangerous subjects, often when a lethal weapon would have otherwise been used, but also as often to subdue a non-coopoerative or simply resistant citizen. Tasers have not been proven to reduce gun usage and their use has become controversial following reports of inappropriate and/or excessively repeated use resulting in injury or death to subjects.

The Arizona-based company that makes Taser stun guns is developing a new device that is launched from a 12-gauge shotgun and can fire an electric charge from 20 metres away. The new technology has already led to inquiries from Canadian law enforcement agencies.
