Its no longer semi-official, it is real and here now.  Winchester has
changed the name of the Black Talon to Law Enforcement Talon, not
"Fluffy Bunnie Slippers".  The
new name seems to indicate that they have changed it only for law
enforcement sales.  That is, the name for the civilian market may
remain the same.  In any event, the San Bernardino County (CA)
Sheriff's Department has already begun to purchase and issue the
stuff.
