This video reviews the Taser X12 XREP, a unique firearm concept released in 2008. It features a Mossberg 500 shotgun modified to fire a self-contained Taser cartridge, the XREP. The XREP cartridge was designed for intermediate ranges (30-100 feet) where standard Tasers are ineffective. It deploys four barbs and is designed to complete an electrical circuit for a 20-second pulse. The shotgun itself had modifications, including a proprietary bolt face and rifled barrel, to ensure only XREP cartridges could be fired, preventing accidental use of lethal ammunition. Despite the innovative concept, the project was a commercial failure due to the high cost of the XREP cartridges.
This video explores five commercially unsuccessful rifles, examining why certain firearms, despite their features, price, or quality, failed to gain widespread popularity. The featured rifles include the Bushmaster M17S, AR-180, Bushmaster ACR, Benelli MR1, and the Egyptian Rasheed Rifle. The creator aims to understand the underlying reasons for their commercial shortcomings.
