Designer tasers are the hottest accessory…

Gone are the days when ladies would accessory with purses, shoes, or makeup. The new hotness — Designer Tasers.

It’s understandable though, given the nature of humans these days, you can never be too safe. Now your significant lady friend can take some power back from the baddies and look stylish while shockin’ the shit out of them too! Super!

10 of the most mind numbingly pointless gadget combos created by human beings…

Want a completely useless gadget that could get you killed? Check out the TASER-Mp3 player combo. At first it may seem like a good idea. Masking a self defense and publicly undesirable object with something that every loves — an mp3 player. I thought the whole point of a tazer was to protect your from surroundings that were inhabited by less than friendly individuals? Now how can you pay attention in those dark, remote portions of cities with some stupid Clay Aiken song blaring into your ears? It’s simple: You can’t! Allow me to step through a scenario…

Chances are, if someone runs up behind you, they’ll do so unnoticed since you can’t hear them. Making matters worse, when you do get grabbed, a frantic battle will surely ensure in which you try to whip our your taser, get bumped, overpowered, and ultimately tasered by your own taser. Whether it was because you simply lost your footing and fell on the TASER, shocking yourself, or were overpowered by your attacker doesn’t matter. The end result could mean death if you’re one of the few people who just don’t have the heart to fight off thousands of angry electrons all gunning for your chest thumper.

See how quickly something can go wrong? Now how does that taser/mp3 player combo sound? Not lookin’ too good is it?

Taser pistorl: Old. XREP (Extended Range Electric Projectile)/Shotgun: Now we’re talkin’!

Tasers as of late have become quite popular as they allow law enforcement officers or mere mortals subdue an attacker or criminal without inducing lethal harm (usually). But, those little handheld/handgun looking models are just so outdated and weak. Do you really want to get the message across to the baddies and improve your chances of hitting your target with less danger to yourself? Taser International would love to show you their new hotness, the XREP projectile. The XREP’s claim to fame is first off the fact that it is an electric shock cartridge. The second more interesting feature is that it fits most standard 12-gauge shotguns and comes with a range of over 100 feet meaning you can now secure the area from further out. Also of interest, Taser, along with Mossberg also have a specially designed shotgun that uses these XREP projectiles. While the gun itself isn’t that mechanically different from a normal shotgun using the XREP projectile, just the look of it brings the thought “Oh Sh**” into the forefront of the mind. Safety issues and field testing haven’t been released by Taser International so it’s unlikely you’ll see any of these on your next episode of cops. Still, they look pretty sweet — that is if you’re not on the receiving end… Another picture right inside.
