FirmLogix recently completed third party Windows 7® WHQL testing using Microsoft® Driver Test Manager (DTM) in support of TASER’s successful product launch of the TASER(r) X3(tm).

The X3, which is capable of firing three cartridges without reloading, is the first new handheld ECD by TASER International since the introduction of the TASER(r) X26(tm) ECD in 2003.

The X3 uses a revolutionary Pulse Calibration System(tm) to constantly monitor and calibrate electrical output to provide more consistent effects on the target and to provide enhanced safety over the current proven and widely accepted TASER(r) technology.
