Taser International recently said they had finished developing a long-range wire-less electro-shock projectile which can be fired from any 12-gauge shotgun; the range is currently 100 feet, but the U.S. Department of Defense, which has funded development of the technology, expects delivery of a 300-foot-range projectile from the company in 2007.
