Taser X12
The Taser X12 is a recent development that takes a standard Mossberg 500-series shotgun and modifies it by giving it ghost ring sights, a new barrel, yellow furniture to indicate it is a dedicated less-lethal weapon, picatinny rail, and the Radial Ammunition Key to prevent the firing of lethal 12 gauge shells. The Taser XREP shell on the other hand can be fired out of any shotgun.
