When you buy the easy to use TASER C2 you want to become familiar with it so you get the most effective use from it. Remember we all learned that when we buy something new we should read the owner manual. Make sure you do that with the C2. One of the nicest features of the TASER C2 is that it arrives with a training DVD. Take the short time needed to watch the training video. It is very well done. By taking a little bit of time when your C2 arrives and utilizing all the training information you will be able to use the TASER C2 most effectively.
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.
The next thing you need to do is load your air cartridges. Make sure the safety switch cover is closed and that the TASER is pointing in a safe direction. Remove the cartridge cover at the front of the C2 and insert the cartridge until you hear it click. That indicates it is locked in place. Just to make sure, gently pull on the sides of the cartridge. There is not an “up” or “down” on the air cartridges so you don’t have to worry about putting the cartridge in wrong. This is also a nice feature for when you are under any stress so you can reload quickly if needed. Each cartridge carries the probes, wire, and compressed air. Do not try to open these cartridges.
Do not try to imitate the fancy hand positions we see on TV shows when someone is using a gun when you use the TASER C2. Always hold it just like you would a handgun, vertically. Slide the safety cover back so that the firing button is now exposed and aim at the assailant. Every C2, except for one model, comes equipped with a built in laser sighting device. This laser will place a red dot on your assailant when you point it at him. This dot represents the approximate landing position of the top probe. Try to shoot for the chest area. Make sure you are within 15 feet of your attacker. That is the maximum range of the probes.
You do not need a tape measure but always try to shoot your TASER C2 when you are about 7 to 10 feet away from your attacker. This will result in a good spread of the probes, about 16 inches, and deliver the most effect. Try not to have a probe spread of less then 4 inches. Remember, maximum effect occurs between 7 and 10 feet.
You should always practice firing with the unit before you actually need to use it. You can practice across the room at targets to get the best feel for the C2. TASER units 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 device 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. The manufacturer will replace your unit if you send them a copy of the police report of your attack.
