The guns fire two copper wires which discharge a five second burst of electric current through copper probes which hook onto suspects.
They have been previously used by tactical operations police in high risk incidents involving sieges and hostages.
NSW Premier Morris Iemma today said the Public Order and Riot Squad would conduct a six month trial of using Tasers in public disturbances.
"We are giving this specialist squad the equipment they need to crack down on criminals and troublemakers," Mr Iemma said in a statement.
"Our officers have been tasked with protecting this community against violent thugs so it is appropriate that they get the chance to trial this technology."

Tasers cripple people and kill
A man was shot by a taser in the balls and his sex life never recovered.
There have been many recorded deaths from tasers recorded around the world.

Be alert and be alarmed mostly whose going to pay for the damage?
For the record I ask this question now! Those who introduce this threat to human beings have to take full responsibility on every occasion to account for the fact that they know it will kill and disable people.
Who are they protecting?
This same weapon will also lead police to believe that they can electrocute you when you're in custody.
Tasers cause you to have a heart attack, some times hours after the police attack you. The cops can just blame this on drugs, alcohol or your fat ass.
