Short interest as of mid-February represented nearly 23 percent of Taser's 52.5 million shares outstanding.

Wall Street on average expects the company to post $0.11 a share on sales of $42.41 million.

But Taser has beaten consensus earnings expectations by double-digit percentages in each of the past four quarters.

The company continues to tout its camera business, issuing press releases on an almost weekly basis about sales contracts for the devices.

Cameras and video systems bookings increased 164 percent in the third quarter to $15.3 million.

But the company's weapons segment remains Taser's core operation.

In the third quarter, net sales increased 26 percent to $44.3 million. That included weapons segment growth of 26.5 percent to $40 million, and video segment growth of 21.5 percent to $4.3 million.
