What Is the TASER X26P ECD?
The X26P ECD is a software upgradable weapon manufactured by TASER International, Inc.
The X26P ECD uses a replaceable cartridge containing compressed nitrogen to deploy two small probes that
are attached to the X26P ECD cartridge by insulated conductive wires. The cartridges are available with various
wire lengths from 15' to 25' (4.6 m to 7.6 m). Sale of cartridges with wire length longer than 15' is limited to law
enforcement and military only.
The X26P ECD’s Trilogy™ log can be uploaded securely to EVIDENCE.com. The X26P ECD has an internal memory
that stores the operating software and a deployment record. See the Trilogy Log section in this manual for
more details. Those who do not have an EVIDENCE.com account can use the Offline EVIDENCE Sync software
to download a simplified log to a local computer.
The X26P ECD has an estimated useful life of 5 years.
Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI)
TASER technology is designed to use electrical impulses similar to those in your body’s nervous system to cause
stimulation of the sensory and motor nerves. Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) occurs when an ECD is able
to cause involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. It is not dependent on pain
and can be effective on subjects with a high level of pain tolerance.
Previous generations of stun guns primarily affected the sensory nerves only, resulting in pain compliance.
A subject with a very high tolerance to pain (e.g., a drug abuser, person in serious psychological distress, or
a trained, focused fighter) may not be affected by the pain or might be able to fight through the pain of a
traditional stun gun.
