The top probe impacts the target near the laser beam and can vary depending on distance,
type of cartridge, etc. See www.TASER.com for current specifications.
The bottom probe impacts at an 8-degree angle from the top probe (except XP35). This
results in a spread of approximately 1’ for every 7’ of distance from the target. Greater probe
spread increases effectiveness. If possible, a minimum 4-inch spread is recommended.
Hold the M26 device so that the cartridge
is vertical for an upright target.
WARNING: Avoid head, face, throat,
or groin exposure unless officer safety
dictates otherwise.
Cartridge specifications are available at www.
TASER.com. Specifications are subject to change
without notice.
“SILENCE IS GOLDEN”
The TASER device’s electrical current is relatively quiet in actual human use. Some practice
conductive targets are loud because the energy is arcing in the air. If electrical current is
loud during field deployment and the subject is not reacting as expected, the current may
be shorting out and may not be effective. Deploy a second cartridge or consider other
options.
