Some Security Personal Have Asked For This Model.......So, now we carry this as well.
Model: TASERM26C
The Advanced M26 Series TASER® is one of the most effective non-lethal weapons available today. Using Electro-Muscular Disruption technology, the TASER® has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. The M18 shoots 2 darts attached to 15 feet of wire. 50,000 volts travel over the wires & over-ride the central nervous system of the attacker. The electric current is released in a pre-timed sequence to make sure the assailant is unable to recover quickly enough to remove the darts.
*The TASER® M26 comes with a laser for accurate aiming.
*Includes 4 cartridges, case, and target.
TASER® M26C Frequently Asked Questions
HOW DOES AN ADVANCED TASER® WORK?
Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two ADVANCED TASER® probes 15 feet at a speed of 135 feet per second. An electrical signal transmits throughout the region where the probes make contact with the body or clothing. The result is an instant loss of the attacker's neuromuscular control and any ability to perform coordinated action. ADVANCED TASER® uses an automatic timing mechanism to apply the electric charge. The ADVANCED TASER® releases an electric current in a pre-set time sequence (an initial seven seconds followed by several 1.8 second breaks for a total time of about 30 seconds in each cycle). This cycle ensures that the nervous system of the target does not recover instantly to allow him to remove the probes. The follow-on bursts disrupt the process of re-equilibration of the nervous system. While the target is disabled, the user can place the device on the ground and escape.
HOW CAN THE ADVANCED TASER® BE SO EFFECTIVE YET NON-INJURIOUS?
The ADVANCED TASER® does not depend upon impact or body penetration to achieve its effect. Its pulsating electrical output interferes with communication between the brain and the muscular system, resulting in loss of control. However, the ADVANCED TASER® is non-destructive to nerves, muscles and other body elements. It simply affects them in their natural mode. More importantly, no deaths have ever been directly attributed to the TASER® .
WHAT HAS TESTING REVEALED REGARDING THE ADVANCED TASER?
Anesthesiologist and specialist in medical electronics, Dr. Frank Summers, MD of St. Joseph's Hospital, Orange, California, directed tests of volunteers at St. Joseph's in 1971 and 1974. Dr. Summers stated, "...We undertook this [volunteer test] in the operating rooms at St. Joseph's Hospital. We had an assembly of cardiovascular surgeons, cardiologists... we had a real [TASER]. We tested extensively and made movies. The tests were impressive. We monitored all parameters of physiology, including electrocardiographs. The tests did not produce any lethal effects and we found that the background work that had been done did indeed pan out in practice."
DOES THE TASER® AFFECT THE HEART OR A CARDIAC PACEMAKER?
The ADVANCED TASER's output is well below the level established as "safe" by the federal government in approving such devices as the electrified cattle fence. In a medical study of the Model XR 5000Ô electronic stun gun, Dr. Robert Stratbucker of the University of Nebraska Medical Center confirmed that the T-Wave does not interrupt the heartbeat or damage a pacemaker. Any modern pacemaker is designed to withstand electrical defibrillator pulses that are hundreds of times stronger than the ADVANCED TASER's output. The ADVANCED TASER® current of 0.3 joules is well below the 10-50 joule threshold above which cardiac ventricular fibrillation can occur.
ISN'T HIGH VOLTAGE LETHAL?
High voltage, in itself, is not dangerous. One can receive a 25,000-volt shock of static electricity from a doorknob on a dry day without harm. The physiological effect of electrical shock is determined by: the current, its duration, and the power source that produces the shock. The typical household current of 110 volts is dangerous because it can pump many amperes of current throughout the body indefinitely. By contrast, the ADVANCED TASER® power supply consists of an alkaline 9-Volt battery that is capable of supplying less than three watts of electrical power for a few minutes.
WILL THE TASER® CAUSE ELECTROCUTION?
No. The output is metered by the electronics and the electrical energy in each pulse is always the same, regardless of the target condition. The electrical output will not be transferred from one person to another even if they touch. ADVANCED TASER, Inc.'s president has been stunned by an ADVANCED TASER® while standing in water to emphasize this point.
WHAT ARE THE AFTEREFFECTS?
A person hit with an ADVANCED TASER® will feel dazed for several minutes. The pulsating electrical output causes involuntary muscle contractions and a resulting sense of vertigo. It can momentarily stun or render an attacker unconscious. Yet, the ADVANCED TASER's low electrical amperage and short duration of pulsating current, ensures a non-lethal charge. Moreover, it does not cause permanent damage or long-term aftereffects to muscles, nerves or other body functions. A January 1987 Annals of Emergency Medicine study reported TASER® technology leaves no long term injuries compared with 50% long term injuries for gun shot injuries.
MUST THE PROBES PENETRATE THE BODY TO BE EFFECTIVE?
No. The electrical current will "jump" up to two inches as long as both probes are attached to clothing or skin. At most, only the 3/8-inch needlepoint will penetrate the skin. They have less energy than a spring propelled BB.
WHAT IF THE PROBES MISS?
The ADVANCED TASER® can be used in a touch-stun mode. The user is thus provided with a final backup if the probes miss the target. Should the user miss or engage a second attacker, he can touch the unit directly to the target and it will work like a powerful touch-stun device.
WHAT IS THE BEST-SHOT AT MAXIMUM RANGE?
As long as the spread of the probes is at least six inches, the ADVANCED TASER® will be extremely effective. To ensure that the spread is greater than six inches, the ADVANCED TASER® should be fired at a target several feet away. The optimum shot is from seven to ten feet away form the target to achieve maximum effect. At seven to ten feet away - the spread of the probes will be approximately 16 inches, ensuring that the target receives the most efficient T-Wave flow.
DOES TEMPERATURE HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE ADVANCED TASER?
No. The ADVANCED TASER® utilizes compressed nitrogen (an inert gas). The ADVANCED TASER® compressed air capsules have successfully held their charges at temperatures of minus 20º F and up to 160º F. Moreover, altitude will not adversely effect the firing of an ADVANCED TASER. In addition, the temperature will not effect the T-Wave. However, as with any product containing polycarbonates and other thermoplastics, the ADVANCED TASER® and Air Cartridges should never be left in direct sunlight.
Please be aware of the same restrictions as on the C2 model......you must pass a background check prior to activation. Therefore, after you order this item, we will contact you on what has to be done. We will need personal information from you when we contact you....to do the background check (i.e. Full Name, Driver's License # w/ expiration, SSN, Current Address - So you might want to include this on your order). The process for this one is different from the C2 (that model doesn't work until it is activated...but this one works and is activated immediately so we can't ship to you until we have clearance that you have passed).
If you are a civilian, then our recommendation is obtain either the 1.6 Million Stun Gun or the 2.5 Million Stun Gun....because they are a lot more effective for close contact. Unfortunately, civilians aren't going to know something is wrong until the THUG is close. When used correctly, these model stun guns can't be taken from you and used against you, due to the safety pen included. Thank You!
When you purchase from us you get much more than great and reliable products at good prices, you get free education as well. We are here to help you, so please don't hesitate to contact us for information or advice. But, our advice is just our educated opinion. It is up to the purchaser to know their local laws and regulations. If we can help 1 person a day, then that is an outstanding day. Remember FREE SHIPPING on orders of $75 or more, excluding EZ Armor and Large Metal Safes.
