Taser-equipped law enforcement officers across the world have long had difficulties dealing with groups of troublemakers, due to the one-shot nature of the Taser. They need worry no more, because the company behind the device has created a three-shot version.

In the video above, you get to see three young women zapped by the Taser X3, which doesn't look comfortable at all. Apparently the device dynamically adjusts the voltage depending on how many shots have been fired, so you won't accidentally fry one person with the juice for three.

Like its predecessors, the Taser comes equipped with laser sights and a sexy yellow and black design, a bit like a wasp. No pricing or availability - you pretty much have to be a cop to get one of these.
