“This was a major technological breakthrough -- a wireless projectile that contains a fully operational TASER circuit payload, packaged in a non-lethal 12-gauge shotgun round. This demonstration was the culmination of several years of intensive research and development funded through ONR. The XREP technology will now begin the transition from research to production.”

“PROJECTILE, n. The final arbiter in international disputes. Formerly these disputes were settled by physical contact of the disputants, with such simple arguments as the rudimentary logic of the times could supply --the sword, the spear, and so forth. With the growth of prudence in military affairs the projectile came more and more into favor, and is now held in high esteem by the most courageous. Its capital defect is that it requires personal attendance at the point of propulsion.”
Ambrose Bierce
“As far as we know, this is the first time a projectile weapon aimed at targeting Jerusalem was found.”

“We're going to be looking for fine marks that are left on the test projectile and evidence projectile.”

“The progression in wireless technology has made this possible. In general, microchip packaging has led to chips that are extremely small so you can pack things in really tight.”
