MAUL: Semi-Automatic Taser Shotgun

Semi automatic shotgun taser by  Metal Storm

I’ve seen people get tasered before on TV and YouTube and it didn’t look too pleasant. But in the back of my mind, I kind of always wondered what it would feel like and a small piece of me wants to experience it. But all of that changed last night when I read up on Semi-Automatic Shotgun that shoots taser cartridges developed by an Australian firm called Metal Storm. If that wasn’t scary enough, the system is dubbed the MAUL.

Maul is a lightweight, modular, 12-guage shotgun that is capable of shooting 5 cartridges and can be used for both law enforcement and military applications. The Maul is capable of delivering lethal and non-lethal munitions. The extremely painful electric shock would be non-lethal although you probably wish you were dead instead. The Maul shotgun can fire off five rounds in only two quick seconds and can be reloaded just as fast with another five round munitions tube.

The Maul only weighs 1.8 pounds which is a huge advantage if used for military applications. Not only that but Maul can be added as an add-on module to a rifle or used on its own stand-alone stock. The types of non-lethal munitions that will be offered for the Maul include electro-muscular incapacitation, blunt impact, frangible nose chemical and marker munitions. Another advantage the Maul has is that it can be fired at an effective range of 100 feet unlike traditional taser guns the police carry. The Maul system is the police man’s best friend when it comes to a rowdy crowd or riots.

So if you are considering being a douchebag and want to cause trouble, you better hope the cops aren’t armed with the Maul.
