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 Lithium Battery Cartridge that powers the unit has enough stored power to last for about 50 firings of the unit. A word of caution here, do not put the magazine cartridge into the C2 before the Power Cartridge. Put the battery cartridge in first and then put the magazine cartridge in. After you have inserted the battery cartridge a green light will light up to let you know the TASER C2 is operational.
Loading the magazine, or air cartridge is simple. First and foremost is that you are positive the safety switch cover is in the closed position. Just like a firearm, always point the business end of the TASER C2 in a safe direction. Now you are ready to remove the cartridge cover at the front end of the self defense weapon and insert the magazine. When you hear a “click” you will know it has seated properly. The unit is so well designed that there is no “wrong way” to insert the cartridge. This is an advantage also in case you ever have to “reload” in a stressful situation. One more word of caution here, never try to pry open the magazine cartridge. The cartridge has compressed air and the probes and wire inside.
When you hold a TASER 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.
The spread of the two probes varies with the distance you are away from an attacker. For the best results try to be about 7 to 10 feet away from him. At this distance your probe spread will be about 16 inches which is what we want. This will produce maximum effectiveness. Try to make sure you get more then a 4 inch spread of the probes.
You should always practice firing with a TASER C2 before you actually need to use it. You can practice across the room at targets to get the best feel for the C2. TASERS have little miniature barbs in them that will actually puncture the skin or penetrate clothing to send the electrical volts and wattage into the body. When you are ready to use a TASER C2, flip the safety switch to expose the firing button and you will see a light that will be the indicator that the gun is ready to fire.
Again, the TASER C2 is so well designed it is actually two personal protection products in one. One the TASER function and two, a stun gun feature. If you have fired at an assailant and missed and do not have another magazine handy, you can apply the two electrodes at the end of the TASER C2 directly to the attackers exposed skin, deliver a shock, and get away to safety.
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. TASER International will replace your C2 if you send them a copy of the police report of your attack.
