How Easy Is It To Use The TASER C2?

If you have already bought a TASER C2 you probably are aware how easy it is to use. You probably took the time to read the owner manual and watch the training DVD that comes with each TASER C2. By doing this you became familiar with the most effective way to use the TASER C2. If you have just purchased your TASER C2 make sure you take the time and go through the training DVD and owner manual as soon as it arrives.

The way the unit gets power is by using a Lithium battery cartridge. This cartridge is very well designed and contains enough energy to power the TASER C2 for 50 firings. Make sure before you put the battery cartridge in that you have not inserted the magazine cartridge first. You don't want to do that. Always place the battery cartridge in first followed by inserting the magazine cartridge. When you have both cartridges in correctly you will see a green light. This signifies that your TASER C2 is ready for action.

The next thing you need to do is load your air cartridges. Make sure the safety switch cover is closed and that the TASER is pointing in a safe direction. Remove the cartridge cover at the front of the C2 and insert the cartridge until you hear it click. That indicates it is locked in place. Just to make sure, gently pull on the sides of the cartridge. There is not an "up" or "down" on the air cartridges so you don't have to worry about putting the cartridge in wrong. This is also a nice feature for when you are under any stress so you can reload quickly if needed. Each cartridge carries the probes, wire, and compressed air. Do not try to open these cartridges.

When you hold the unit you hold it as you would a handgun, vertically. There is a safety switch cover that you open to expose the firing button. Do not fire at an attacker that is more then 15 feet away. That is the maximum range of the C2. All TASER C2 models, except one, have a laser-aiming device. When aiming at a target keep in mind that where ever you see the laser, that is where the top probe will approximately land. If your safety permits, try to avoid aiming at the face, neck, head or groin area.

You do not need a tape measure but always try to shoot your TASER C2 when you are about 7 to 10 feet away from your attacker. This will result in a good spread of the probes, about 16 inches, and deliver the most effect. Try not to have a probe spread of less then 4 inches. Remember, maximum effect occurs between 7 and 10 feet.

Just like with any tool, practice makes perfect. Before you actually need to use your device, practice with it. Become more familiar with it. There are targets available fto use that will help you gain confidence and proficiency. Don't think you can practice on a person. The TASER C2 projects two barbs that can penetrate clothing and skin and that is what provides the wattage and voltage.

There is also a stun capability backup called the Drive Stun Back Up. This means that if you just happen to run out of cartridges and you still need to disable an attacker you can approach the person and use the stun gun functionality. The TASER C2 has two stun gun electrodes that will allow you to depress the volts into the attacker's neck or other exposed body part and then make your escape.

As soon as your attacker is on the ground and incapacitated, place the TASER C2 on the ground and run away to a safe location. Do not try to retrieve your TASER C2. The manufacturer will replace your unit if you send them a copy of the police report of your attack.
