The M26 taser® and X26 tasers® are two commonly used models of taser® guns by the law enforcement agencies. These models work following the similar principle. However, the X26 model is 60% smaller than the M26 model and the incapacitating effect of the X26 model is 5% higher than the M26 model. A taser® gun is often used by the officers of the law enforcement agencies in order to incapacitate a perpetrator if he/she threatens the safety of an officer or other people. The M26 and X26 models both work in the following manner.
- Two taser® probes of new or pre-owned X26 taser® or M26 taser® can deploy bursts of electricity at an interval of 5 seconds. An operator can prolong the charge by keeping pressure on the trigger and can repeat the shock multiple times.
How Law Enforcement Officers Use Taser® Guns
A law-enforcement officer may use a new or used taser® gun in two different modes.
- Firing Mode :
An officer may use both models to fire the probes up to a distance of 21 feet.
A cartridge of compressed nitrogen is used to fire the probes.
In this mode, both models –
-
- Can accurately hit the targets with laser sights (they have a built-in system to record the date and time of each firing)
- Operate on 26 watts of electric output
- Can deliver an electrical shock of 50,000-volt causing uncontrollable muscle contraction whilst overriding the CNS (central nervous system)
- Drive-Stun Mode :
An officer can use the M26 and F26 models at point-blank range.
The sensory nervous system is affected in this scenario.
Guidelines for Taser® Use
- A law-enforcement officer has to warn a subject (if feasible) before using a taser® gun.
- An officer, who is trained to use the taser® gun, can use it according to the training guidelines after weighing all consequences.
- An officer –
- Cannot use a taser® gun for coercion or for punitive actions.
- Has to avoid using the taser® gun on neck, face, and groin.
- Cannot use the gun on children, women or people suffering from cardiac problems
A taser® gun can be used for self-defense and can be purchased through taser® gun online shops or conventional shops.
