Electroshock gun developed by NASA researcher Jack Cover (5)

I believe the answer is:

taser

(Other definitions for taser that I've seen before include "Stun gun" , "Electroshock weapon" , "Paralysing device used by police" , "Weapon used to deliver a temporarily paralysing electric shock" , "police weapon introduced" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
