Taser M26 vs. X26
The Taser M26 was introduced in 1999. It is a popular non-lethal weapon powered by eight AA batteries. Its design is such that it can easily be worn on an officer’s duty belt. The Taser X26 uses a lithium energy cell battery instead of AA batteries. It also has a battery life indicator, warranty counter, firing countdown, and USB port.
Overall, the Taser X26 is a more effective model. It is smaller, lighter, and pulls down suspects faster. The batteries last longer and the USB port makes it compatible with a number of devices that law enforcement officers use on a regular basis.
Taser C2 Protection
With a device as simple and easy to use as a Taser C2, you can defend yourself in almost any scenario. The Taser C2 has a 15 foot range so you don’t have to get close to a would-be attacker to defend yourself. I recommend testing out the distance so you can better judge how far away you can be from an assailant before you deploy the Taser.
If you need to use your Taser C2, aim for the center of mass. In plain speak, that means aim for the assailant’s torso as that is the largest target. You’ll know you have successfully fired your Taser when you hear a distinct pop….and then see your aggressor lying on the ground.
Advantages of Stun Guns
I would consider myself a non-confrontational person, but I am prepared to face down an attacker if need be. I always carry a stun master on me for personal protection, particularly if I’m going to be out late at night on my own. Stun guns, when you know how to operate them properly, are the best form of non-lethal protection, in my opinion.
My stun master can disable a grown man instantly. It won’t kill him, but it will knock him out long enough for me to get away and call the police. My stun master, like many stun guns, is also good for multiple usages, so if I don’t get in a clean shot on my first attempt to disable an attacker I can try again. I would highly recommend stun guns to any person concerned about their safety.
Using a Telescopic Stun Baton
Before using a self defense product for the first time, it is important to learn its ins and outs. You don’t want to end up accidentally hurting yourself! Take the telescopic stun baton, for example. The seemingly little tool can pack a powerful punch.
When using a telescopic stun baton you will first want to use the siren. This will potentially scare off an attacker. If the attacker is persistent, hit the trigger button which will expand the stun baton to its full length and activate the shocking mechanism. Touch the baton to the attacker’s body and they’ll be disabled, even through clothing. This should give you enough time to get away and call the police.
Stun Guns Are The Practical Alternative
Stun guns are increasingly getting popular as self defense devices especially among women. Stun guns are not lethal like firearms and knives. With a simple push of a button, stun guns have the ability to put down an attacker. Generally, a stun gun is a handheld gadget that has a trigger and two metal prongs at the end of the unit. One must make close contact with the assailant by placing the two metal prongs of the stun gun anywhere on his body and pulling the trigger. The stun gun is operated by a power source provided by a 9V battery.
There are now many choices in self defense stun devices. One of them is a flashlight stun gun. This tool is very small and compact in size; it is an excellent concealable self defense gadget that can fit into your purse or even your pockets. It works like a regular flashlight too so you can actually use it to easily find car or home keys inside your bag.
Stun Gun Safety
Stun guns are getting more popular everyday. More and more Americans are choosing stun guns as their method of personal protection. Though stun guns may be safer than traditional guns because they aren’t usually deadly-it doesn’t mean that they are safe, it just means they’re not deadly.
Because stun guns are potentially seriously harmful weapons it’s important that owners understand how to use them correctly. Some of the following tips will help stun gun owners get familiar with safe practices. When exiting a vehicle you can turn the gun on, but don’t touch the trigger. Only touch the trigger when you are out in the open and ready to use the stun gun. Hold the gun with a steady hand and don’t keep it close to your body. Waving the gun around in the air is dangerous because a slight touch of the trigger can disable a person.
When stunning an attacker don’t remove the stun gun from contact with their body until they are rendered disabled.
Test your stun gun frequently to make sure it’s working properly. In case of an emergency keep a spare battery in your car.
Check with your local law enforcement to make sure it’s legal to carry a stun gun in your community. And, make sure to keep the stun gun in a safe case or covering to prevent accidental discharge.
Valuable Safety Tools
It’s important to properly protect yourself these days, especially in this economy. But it’s not always just a dwindling economy that contributes to less-than-safe conditions within a society, we must face the truth that we no longer live in the 1950s era of “Leave It To Beaver” style living. Therefore, we need to face reality and equip ourselves for personal protection and home defense.
Products like pepper spray key chains and cheap stun guns are good defense items to get started with. Pepper spray is often disguised as something else – a flashlight, an ordinary keychain, etc. – and fits right on your key ring. Stun guns are also available in assorted styles and shapes as well as sizes. Many stun guns are small enough to enclose in the palm of your hand so the attacker never sees it coming.
Self-defense product in disguise
If you break down on the side of the road or need to call 911 a cell phone can be your best friend. When you’re backed into a dangerous position a cell phone stun gun is going to help you more immediately than a regular cell phone ever could. Cell phone stun guns are the latest in self-defense products disguised as everyday items. The disguise is crucial so as not to alert your attacker that you have the means to temporarily disable him or her.
The cell phone stun gun is designed to look like your typical cell phone, complete with a numbered key pad and screen. It may be small but can pack a powerful punch when activated. Some models discharge as much as 900,000 volts which will knock out an attacker long enough for you to get away, but won’t cause permanent damage. They are small, easy to carry and have safety features to ensure that they don’t accidentally discharge in your purse or holster. Not all state governments allow civilians to carry cell phone stun guns, so check that detail before you buy.
