Below are 2 Taser Models and information about each.

TASER C2

SAFETY: TASER C2 can stop a threat up to 15 feet away (4.5 meters), allowing you a safe distance to protect yourself and family from an attacker. If a close quarter defense is warranted, the TASER C2 doubles as a contact stun device to repel someone as a powerful and unexpected backup capability. TASER technology has proven itself as a safe and effective choice of self defense with over 500,000 worldwide users.

EFFECTIVE: A TASER C2 can be conveniently discharged to work anywhere on the body, unlike other conventional weapons with a specified target area. This makes the TASER C2 more effective self defense option by making it easier to stop a threat under an already stressful situation. TASER devices have been used effectively by law enforcement encounters by over 10,000 police agencies in over 4 countries, boasting a 95% effective rating. TASER technology provides one of the only non-lethal means of stopping an attacker dead in his tracks, even if under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

RESPONSIBILITY: Normal law-abiding citizens carrying a TASER C2 for self defense purposes should have no problem acquiring this highly effective tool. However, to further promote responsible ownership, the TASER C2 will only function after the owner completes a background check through TASER International to prevent misuse. There is a $9.95 activation fee. You will be provided a phone number or web address for this purpose. As always, purchasers MUST be 18 years old or older.

TASER C2 cartridges also have a unique serial number and are equipped with an Anti-Felon Identification system, which discharges 20-30 serialized paper confetti tags when deployed. Law enforcement can later retrieve this confetti from the scene and contact TASER International to get the name of the owner of the TASER device, allowing police to track any potential misuse.

LIFETIME REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE: If a TASER C2 is used in self defense, it can be deployed and left behind attached to the attacker causing incapacitation while you get to safety. When fired, the TASER C2 will deliver a 30 second energy burst. During this window of opportunity, you can set down the TASER C2 to keep the attacker incapacitated, while you escape. Send TASER International a copy of the police report documenting the incident and they will replace your unit free of charge.

TASER X26 Citizen Model

OVERVIEW OF THE TASER X26 Citizen Model

TASER X26c was modeled after the police TASER X26. Utilizing the same technology as our proven law enforcement models, the X26C has incredible take down power.

TASER X26c is a software upgradeable, Electronic Control Device (ECD). ECDs use propelled wires or direct contact to conduct energy to affect the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system. The TASER X26C uses a replaceable cartridge containing compressed nitrogen to deploy two small probes that are attached to the TASER X26C by insulated conductive wires with a maximum length of 15 feet (4.5 meters). The TASER X26C transmits electrical pulses along the wires and into the body affecting the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system. The energy can penetrate up to two cumulative inches of clothing, or one inch per probe. The trigger activates a 10 second cycle. Second and third pull increments the cycle 10 seconds each up to 30 seconds total. The cycle can be stopped by placing the safety lever in the safe position.

TASER X26C uses a replaceable TASER cartridge containing compressed nitrogen to deploy two small probes that are attached to the TASER X26C by insulated conductive wires with a maximum length of 15 feet (4.5 meters). A TASER X26 transmits electrical pulses through the wires and into the body affecting the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system. The energy can penetrate up to two cumulative inches of clothing, or one inch per probe.

TASER X26C ADVANCED FEATURES

- Proven neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) technology

- Lightweight and easy to carry

- Digital Power Magazine is good for over 150 uses

- Central Information Display (CID)

- Laser Sight and LED, with Select Control

- 15 ft. (4.6m) range

NEUROMUSCULAR INCAPACITATION (NMI)

The key technology to disable even the most aggressive subjects, NMI temporarily over-rides the command and control systems of the body to impair muscular control.

SHAPED PULSE TECHNOLOGY

A sophisticated pulse wave that utilizes a high voltage leading edge to penetrate barriers such as clothing around the body followed by a lower voltage stimulation pulse to cause Neuro-Muscular Incapacitation.

DIGITAL PULSE CONTROL (DPC)

A replaceable module that allows for the engagement of targets at ranges up to 15 feet. Integrates a nitrogen propulsion system, high voltage insulated TASER wire, bi-metal probes, and AFID serialization optimized for the TASER device.

TASER CARTRIDGE

A replaceable module that allows for the engagement of targets at ranges up to 15 feet. Integrates a nitrogen propulsion system, high voltage insulated TASER wire, bi-metal probes, and AFID serialization. Compatible with TASER M and X Series models.

ANTI-FELON IDENTIFICATION (AFID)

A system to deter misuse through enhanced accountability, AFID includes bar-coded serialization of each cartridge and disperses confetti-like ID tags upon activation.

LASER AND ILLUMINATOR INTEGRATION

User configurable settings control laser and low-intensity illumination synchronous with safety switch operation.

DIGITAL POWER MAGAZINE (DPM)

Integrated power source with lithium battery cells and solid state memory module for tracking power consumption, power levels remaining, and allows for software updates to be distributed via battery replacement.

CENTRAL INFORMATION DISPLAY (CID)

Digital display that communicates battery percentage, duration remaining during pulse discharge, time, date, and warranty status.

How do you make a taser?

The TASER is not just an electrical shock device- it produces an electrical current at a specific voltage and amperage- AND is an alternating current with a specific frequency. The TASER works not by causing pain (although it is definitely not a pleasant experience!) but by temporarily interfering with the ability of your body to control certain muscles. Simply creating a high voltage current does not do that. In short, you need a rather sophisticated electrical control system and a source of electrical power to make a TASER. Just buy one...TASER is a brand name so you don't want to infringe on that!
