Tase World

Every year, Taser demos their latest and greatest toys in a mock prison riot at an old penitentiary in West Virginia. Try and top that, CES!

This year's star is peel-and-stick taser tape, that'll turn any surface into a fully electrified zappy zone. On the practical side, this stuff will be rolling out by the end of the year to instantly upgrade cops' riot shields into a serious, no taser wand-waving necessary instant force field. Of course, that dickhead roommate who ate your last Hot Pocket could get a wonderful surprise if it hits general production and distribution. The kit features a peel and stick perforated film, power supply and necessary conversion equipment. When the laminate becomes electrified...hello!

Also on display at the West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville from Taser are shock-inducing shotgun rounds and "area denial" zappers, that can fry groups of people at once. So, so cool. Taser is my new favorite company.
