The TASER C2 is TASER International, Inc.'s newest product designed for personal protection. Utilizing the same technology as their proven law enforcement models, the C2 has incredible take down power.
The TASER C2 is a self-defense electronic control device. Electronic Control Devices (ECDs) use propelled wires or direct contact to conduct energy to affect the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system. The TASER C2 uses a replaceable cartridge, containing compressed nitrogen, to deploy two small probes that are attached to the TASER C2 by insulated conductive wires with a maximum length of 15 feet (4.5 meters). The TASER C2 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.
| Neuromuscular Incapacitation (NMI) | |
| The key technology to disable even the most aggressive subjects, NMI temporarily overrides the command and control systems of the body to impair muscular control. | |
| Shaped PulseTM 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 neuromuscular incapacitation. | |
| C2 Cartridge | |
| A replaceable module that allows for the engagement of targets at ranges up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). Integrates a nitrogen propulsion system, high voltage insulated TASER wire, bi-metal probes, and AFID serialization optimized for the TASER C2. | |
| 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 Integration | |
| TASER microprocessor controls laser illumination synchronous with safety switch operation. | |
| Lithium Power Magazine (LPM) | |
| 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. | |
| CheckLokTM | |
| Next generation background check technology ensures full compliance with user identification and screening. Ships in a locked state, can only be unlocked with activation code received upon successful registration and background check approval. | |
| Safety |
| TASER devices can stop threats from up to 15 ft. (4.5 m). Or, you can use the TASER device as a contact stun device - a powerful backup capability. In field uses by law enforcement against dangerous suspects, TASER technology has among the lowest injury rates of any force option. However, TASER devices are not risk free and may cause injuries, primarily from falls or physical exertion. Use of TASER devices should not be undertaken lightly. Detailed product warnings are available. |
| Effectiveness |
| A hit anywhere on the body can be effective with the TASER device, making it easier to use and more reliable under stress than any other use-of-force option. TASER energy weapons are field proven up to 95% effective in actual police use - the highest of any similar device. TASER International makes the only device that can truly incapacitate people under the influence of PCP and other dangerous drugs. Further, a hit anywhere on the body can be effective, making it easy to use and more reliable under stress. |
| Easy To Use |
TASER technology has been available to citizens concerned with self-defense for over a decade. Unlike conventional weapons, TASER devices are effective with a hit anywhere on the body. To be effective for self-defense, bullets risk more lethal consequences, striking the head or vital organs. Similarly, chemical or pepper sprays must hit an assailant in the face - a much less reliable alternative in fast moving confrontations. And, in a windy environment, sprays can be blown back onto the user. TASER Personal Protection Devices can be used more effectively and reliably than many other self-defense technologies. |
| Legal To Carry In Most States |
| TASER devices are not considered firearms by the US Government. They can be legally carried (concealed or open) without permit required in 43 states. Prohibited citizen use in DC, HI, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI, WI, certain cities and counties. CT and IL are legal with restrictions. Check local laws before purchasing or carrying electronic control devices. |
| Lifetime Replacement Guarantee |
| If a TASER Personal Protection Device is used in self-defense, it can be deployed and left behind attached to the attacker causing incapacitation while you get to safety. Send TASER International, Inc. a copy of the police report documenting the incident and they can replace your unit free of charge. |
