The Home Office confirmed that while the Taser XRep cartridge has not yet been approved for use by forces in England and Wales, it was still legally used in the stand-off with Moat.

"It is currently subject to testing by the HOSDB (Home Office Scientific Development Branch)," said a Home Office spokesman.

"However, legally, police forces have discretion to use any equipment they see fit as long as the use of force is lawful, reasonable and proportionate."

A standard Taser gun has a range of 21ft, compared to the range of the XRep cartridge which is 100ft.

Considering Moat was holding a shot gun and had shot people already, I think it is fair not to expect a Police man to get within 20 feet of him.

I've had this before you TWATT. I spell it with two t's to stress the word.
I can guarantee you, that I could drop a human being with one round up to 500 yds, which is what I used to practice as a squaddie, and all of my comrades did as well.
As for wanking over images, then join the club. TWATT.
