[Note: These do not exist in real life. This is a concept for a version of the Taser from 2084.] The M48-LA Taser has similar styling to the popular M26 Taser. This can be seen in the overall shape, the positioning of the power cartridge, and the position of the safety system. While the M26 used a crude flip-switch, the M48-LA is fitted with ambidextrous use fingerprint scanners, to ensure that the gun is being wielded by its owner. The power cartridge also carries a remaining life readout, and the darts auto-retract, allowing for quick change of cartridge and cartridge reusability. However, the M26 is fitted with a laser target, which the M48 lacks. It does, however, come with iron sights.
