Taser-Waffe begeistert US-Streitkräfte

Taser International hat heute ein neues Modell seiner umstrittenen Betäubungs-Gewehre vorgeführt. Wie das Unternehmen mitteilte, habe es gegenüber dem Office of Naval Research, das die Forschung der US-Navy und der Marines koordiniert, die Vorzüge des nicht-tödlichen Waffentyps „Taser XREP“ demonstrieren können. Dieser sei in der Lage, mehrere Salven der elektronischen Projektile, die das Muskelsystem lahm legen, auf Ziele in bis zu 30 Metern Entfernung abzufeuern. Dabei habe sich das Militär ebenso von den verursachten Sinneslähmungen wie von der schnellen Erholung der „menschlichen Ziele“ beeindruckt gezeigt.Nach einigen Unfällen hatte es in der Vergangenheit immer wieder kritische Stimmen zu den Betäubungswaffen von Taser International gegeben. An der Nasdaq ziehen die Titel heute allerdings um 5,11 Prozent auf 11,10 Dollar an. http://www.deraktionaer.de/xist4c/web/...A84301BF33BE0D786A724AF9F0F3 <!--StartFragment -->
