TASER International, Inc. (NASDAQ: TASR), a global provider of safety technologies that prevent conflict and protect life, is proud to introduce the new TASER® X2™ a high performance handheld electronic control device (ECD). The TASER X2 ECD is the most customer-driven TASER® ECD ever developed and incorporates the capabilities most requested by law enforcement professionals.
The TASER X2 is cost effective, simple to use, and similar in size to the current TASER flagship product, the TASER® X26™ ECD. The TASER X2 features a second shot for instant miss recovery, dual LASERs for improved accuracy, enhanced power magazine with more than 500 firings, and a warning arc that helps prevents conflict from escalating -- all in a small, compact size and competitively priced at under $1,000.
The TASER X2 is shipping in the second quarter of 2011.
On May 4, 2011, TASER will host a live webcast to discuss more about the features, benefits, and trade-in/upgrade opportunities of the new TASER X2 ECD. The webcastwill be hosted by TASER International CEO and Founder, Rick Smith.

PRE-APPROVED QUOTESRick Smith, TASER International CEO & founder:
"The TASER X2 was the result of our most extensive Voice-of-the-Customer process in the company's history. Thousands of officers participated in the design of the X2 through online surveys, interviews, and focus groups. The result is a breakthrough device that integrates key enhanced features into a simple, compact design optimized for full time carry."
