The TASER X26^C and TASER M26^C Electronic Control Devices (ECDs), like our law enforcement-grade TASER X26 and TASER M26, are equipped with field-tested TASER technology and give you the same unprecedented take-down power trusted by thousands of police officers every day.

The X26^Cand M26^C ECDs deliver an incapacitating pulse that overrides the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system. This powerful Neuro Muscular Incapacitation (NMI) technology can stop even the most aggressive individuals, including those under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol.

TASER ECDs use replaceable cartridges containing inert, compressed nitrogen to fire two small probes that are attached to 15 foot (4.5 meter) insulated conductive wires. Energy is sent over the wires into the probes, which can penetrate up to two cumulative inches of clothing. The charge is transmitted between the two probes, jamming sensory and motor functions, and inhibiting muscular control. This NMI effect continues in 5-10 second cycles each time you press the trigger. The X26^C and M26^C ECDs can also be used in direct contact stun mode.

The X26^C ECD is also software upgradeable via its integrated Digital Power Magazine.

Effectiveness

TASER ECDs are the ONLY devices that can consistently incapacitate aggressive, dangerous people. They bring incredible stopping power that has been field-tested by thousands of law enforcement officers around the world. They are safer and more effective than other options, such as sprays or direct contact stuns, that require potentially dangerous chemicals or close range to an attacker and often prove to be ineffective on individuals under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. TASER ECDs allow you to take control of your personal safety.

Easy To Use

Unlike other self-defense options, a TASER ECD can be used and is effective on any area of the body. This is critically important if youre in a highly stressful, dangerous situation that requires you to quickly to defend yourself and/or your loved ones. Its as easy as point and shoot.

Legal To Carry In Most States

TASER devices are not considered firearms by the U.S. Government. They can be legally carried (concealed or open) without permit in 43 states. Use of TASER ECDs is prohibited in DC, HI, MA, MI, NJ, NY, RI, WI and certain other cities and counties. Check local laws before purchasing or carrying ECDs.

Protecting your LIFE is our PRIORITY.

*Applies only to incidents that occur in the United States.

Responsible

We at TASER International are strongly committed to protecting life and truth so go to great lengths to encourage responsible use of our products. Each TASER cartridge is equipped with an Anti-Felon Identification (AFID) program. Tiny, serialized markers are loaded into each and every cartridge we make, and each cartridge is bar-coded to match that serial number. These serial numbers are recorded in our shipment tracking system at the time of sale. Once a cartridge is fired, the AFIDs are expelled from the cartridge and provide a mechanism for police to identify the registered owner of the device. This accountability system helps prevent misuse of our devices and protects you.

No other self-defense device in the world - guns, knives, sprays, or electronic defense units - can be traced from evidence at the scene to the registration of the user. It all comes back to registration, verification, tracking, and responsibility.

The innovative AFID program was developed and implemented at our own cost. It is not required by law; its just the right thing to do.

Yes. It is legal in the United States except in Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia. Additional cities, counties, and countries might have other restrictions on the use or possession of the TASER ECD device so check all applicable laws and regulations carefully. Federal law prohibits carrying or shipping TASER devices out of the U.S.

Yes. You need to register it with TASER International and pass a felony background check, either online or by phone, prior to purchase. Some states and cities might have additional requirements so check your local laws carefully.

No. TASER ECDs are not classified as firearms by the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (BATF) because TASER cartridges use compressed, inert nitrogen gas to launch the probes instead of gun powder.

Different people have different reactions, but its definitely uncomfortable. Some people compare it to touching a live electrical outlet except that its not localized to the point of contact; it has more of a full body effect where muscular control is limited for the duration of the charge cycle. We describe it as muscle lock up because you are generally unable to move. The NMI effect is not about pain compliance but incapacitation in order to keep someone down and away from you. That said, it is generally mildly to moderately painful.

There really is no effect because unlike with firearms, there is no recoil or kick when you shoot your ECD.

Think of the NMI effect as a light switch its either completely on or completely off. During the cycle time, the sensory and motor function signals are confused, which inhibits muscular control and causes incapacitation. Once the charge cycle ends, sensory and motor functions resume normally and allow signals to be transmitted to the muscles - the NMI effect is off.

TASER ECDs are not risk-free, however, as injuries can result from falls, drug/alcohol-related complications, or other external circumstances. More detailed safety and health information concerning the use of ECDs can be found here.

The X26^c and M26^c ECDs were designed to balance accessibility with safety. You need to be able to reach and fire quickly if necessary but also feel confident that your ECD won't be accidentally discharged. For this reason, the safety switch must be in the OFF position before it can be fired.

The X26^c and M26^c are self-defense devices, and like other options, should be kept out of reach of children at all times. Both are equipped with a safety switch that must be deliberately moved to the OFF position before the device can be fired. Lastly TASER ECDs use medically tested, field-proven technology that when adopted by law enforcement agencies, has significantly reduced injury and fatality rates of suspects, police officers, and innocent citizens. TASER ECDs are designed to save lives by resolving dangerous situations without escalating to lethal means.

No. TASER ECDs are not permitted in carry-on luggage for domestic U.S. flights. They can be packed in checked baggage if you are traveling to a state that allows possession, however. Federal law prohibits carrying or shipping TASER devices out of the U.S. so international flight restrictions apply.

Yes, both are the same body style and use the same technology as the police version. The only difference is that the consumer model (the X26^c model) has been engineered with a longer cycle time than the X26 law enforcement models. This is so you can keep your attacker down and get yourself to safety.

As with any self-defense option, its a good idea to understand how it work and how to operate it safely and effectively. Training materials are included with your ECD and cover everything you need to know about it. Other training resources might be available in your local area if you need them. Its also beneficial to practice shooting your ECD in order to get comfortable with how it feels, sounds, and aims. Extra cartridges and practice targets are available for purchase.

You must be 18 years old or over in order to buy a TASER ECD.

In the event that you shoot and miss, you can use your ECD as a direct contact stun device.

Each cartridge fires once so its a good idea to keep extra cartridges on hand.

The Digital Power Magazine for X26^c ECD can supply about 150 applications. As with all power sources, environmental conditions, such as extreme heat or cold, can impact battery life differently. For the M26^c ECD, battery life will vary by manufacturer and environmental conditions.

We at TASER International live and work to Protect Life. One of the ways we do live is by doing all we can to keep our life-saving devices out of the hands of criminals. We will not activate any TASER ECD without a clear felony background check. Its the right thing to do because it protects all of us.
