Images of Zeus electric shock projectile weapon promoted on the Oberon-Alpha website [downloaded November 2017]. A number of companies based in the CoE have promoted electric shock projectile weapons manufactured by companies outside the region. Taser International Inc. is the most prominent manufacturer and supplier of projectile electric shock weapons for law enforcement agencies across the globe. Although it is a US company, its European headquarters are in the Netherlands.127 A number of CoE companies such as the Cypriot company, Carriar El Limited have also promoted its products.128 In addition to projectile electric shock weapons firing a single projectile at a time, one CoE company and one non-CoE company, have reportedly developed and/or promoted weapons which fire multiple electric shock projectiles simultaneously thereby potentially incapacitating a group of individuals. Because the individual projectiles cannot be accurately aimed at specific individuals, such devices are inherently indiscriminate in nature. Consequently, their employment risks injuring bystanders. Furthermore, there is also the risk that multiple projectiles or barbs will impact one individual. According to a Russian TV news report broadcast on 17 October 2017, an unnamed Russian company recently promoted a multiple electric shock projectile mine called the MEN-5/10, which it presented at the Interpolitex-2017 security exhibition held in Moscow. According to the mine’s designer, the weapon is intended to “defeat, deter, limit the movement of offenders, including in residential and non-residential premises.”129 The electric shock mine can reportedly be installed on the ground on skids or on legs, fixed to objects with a clamp, or hung onto the walls of premises. The device can be installed with a motion sensor connected to a tripwire or can be remotely activated; which when activated can fire a volley of 20 electric shock projectiles.130 Previously, Taser International Inc. developed and promoted a similar multiple electric shock projectile weapon, the Taser Shockwave. Although it appears that this device has now been discontinued, it was promoted by a Macedonian company, Micei International, on the “police/military/law enforcement” section of its website until at least 1 April 2017.131 127 TASER to Open New International Office in Amsterdam, 29 April 2014, http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/taser-to-open-new-international-office-in-amsterdam-nasdaq-tasr1903944.htm (accessed 9 January 2018). 128 Carriar El Limited, https://www.carriar.eu/products-services (accessed 24 October 2017). 129 Rychagov, M.
