Taser X12 XREP: A Taser in a Shotgun Shell
The Taser X12, a collaboration between Taser and Mossberg, aimed to extend the range of less-lethal options using the XREP projectile in a 12-gauge shell. Unique mechanical safeguards prevented the use of standard ammunition, and a rifled barrel with a fast twist rate stabilized the projectile. Despite innovative technology, high ammunition cost led to its discontinuation and a unique legal classification as not a firearm.
