Long-range electroshock projectiles, which can be fired from ordinary shotguns and do not need the wires, have also been developed.

An electrolaser is a type of electroshock weapon that is also a directed-energy weapon.It uses lasers to form an electrically conductive laser-induced plasma channel (LIPC). A fraction of a second later, a powerful electric current is sent down this plasma channel and delivered to the target, thus functioning overall as a large-scale, high energy, long-distance version of the Taser ...
