Taser devices have been used by law enforcement agencies around the world as non-lethal substitute to firearms for almost two decades. These devices are effective in controlling criminals and unlawful elements with no causing any permanent serious damage. One such device is the M-26 Taser. Manufactured by Taser International, this type of Taser product is designed to look like a police officer's service weapon.
Each M-26 Taser is equipped with laser light for improved accuracy. These devices also use cartridges, which eject a pair of darts joined to the main unit by copper wires. Once triggered to release, these wires can reach distances of up to 21 feet.
M-26 Taser model is able of distributing up to 26 watts of electricity at more than 50,000 volts through the copper wires. This device is also efficient even at close quarters. With no cartridge, M-26 is still powerful enough to stun a target. When used directly to the target's body, the charge delivers enough stopping power to take down a person (this feature is helpful in case the darts fail to spot the target). Either way you use it, the M-26 Taser dumps its electrical charge to the target in a five-second cycle even though when this cycle is broken, the effects would bear off right away. In spite of its powerful electrical charge, the M-26 has not been known to cause permanent injury to persons, even to those with certain health conditions. It works by overriding the target's sensory and motor systems, causing him to be immobilized momentarily.
M-26 Tasers are perfect for law enforcement use due to several reasons. First, the M26 model looks and feels very much similar to a normal service weapon. Designed to be used with ease, any police officer will feel comfortable using this device. Second, this Taser model gives officers with a much safer distance from their target and for deploying the darts, which can be fired up at a distance of up 6 to 21 feet (compared with earlier types of Tasers that are only capable of getting a range of up to 6 to 9 feet). This gives the benefit of controlling a target at a large enough range while giving the officer extra gap for their own protection and safety.
M-26 Tasers are actually great substitute to firearms. Aside from the advantages stated above, M-26 models are also inexpensive, which is lower than the price of getting service weapons.
