….Enemies From 300 Feet Away "THE US Marine Corps is testing a powerful electroshock weapon that can zap enemies from 300 feet away. Dubbed "Specter", the non-lethal projectile can be fired from a shotgun and downs targets using a taser-like electric shock.

And why is this better than what we already have?  |

It may not be better, but it's way cooler! Like the guys in the Command & Conquer games: "Extra crispy!" |
