TASER X2 Review: How You Can Use?
Simply you can move the safety button and use the laser to help you aim at your target correctly and then pull the trigger to shot the cartridge at the attacker to stop him.
Please keep reading to know how it works in details so you will be aware why it is so expensive & why the law enforcement are relying on it beside the firearms while dealing with criminals.
Trigger:
- The trigger is used to discharge cartridges, so that you can stop the attack & survive any potential danger.
- The X2 default mode has semi-automatic selection. When the safety switch is moved to the upper arm position, the cartridges number 1 or 2 are automatically selected.
- When the triggers are pulled, cartridge number 1 “on the left side ” will be discharged. The trigger will then initiate an automatic 5-second cycle with standard PPM “Performance Power Magazine” – will be explained later on in this article.
- The cycle can be prolonged by pressing the trigger continuously.
- The second cartridge is selected automatically on the next trigger press, which will fire the cartridge and start a new cycle of five seconds. This can be stopped by simply moving the safety switch to the safe or down position.
Arc Switch:
It is located In front of the trigger and there’s one on each side of the device the Arc switch allows you to arc across both cartridge bays without discharging any loaded cartridges.
So you can incapacitate the attacker by making it a contact-weapon like normal stun guns.
There are three basic functions that can be performed with the arc switch:
- First you will need to activate the Arc switch by moving the safety button into the up arm position.
- You can perform your daily spark test without needing to unload your cartridge.
- you can also give a warning arc in the field without having to unload your device.
- The Arc switch also allows you to re-energize cartridges that have already been discharged.
Please consider that the Arc switch is only active while it is being depressed as soon as it is released the Arc will cease, so there will be no automatic 5 Second cycle associated with the Arc switch.
Unlike when using a standard PPM the Arc switch will continue to cycle until it is released.
Dual Laser:
- Dual lasers to indicate the approximate point of impact of both probes.
- The top laser is solid and the bottom laser is blinking So, the bottom laser will only appear when a live cartridge is inserted into the taser X2.
- The bottom laser is calibrated to provide the point of impact for the bottom probe for both the 15 and 25 foot cartridges and it is not calibrated to be used with the 35-foot cartridge.
TASER X2 Illumination:
It is a great option in this device to brighten up the dark areas or blind the attackers temporarily, Please follow theses steps to know how to activate the Taser X2 flashlight & the laser:
1- So you will have to use your finger ONLY to press on this area & never use a pen or a pencil as this might break it.
Then choose the sight option from the CID:
2- You can select the sight option with the left-arch switch button.
3- Choose which mode with the right-button of the arch switch – use it as a scroll.
OO = Means No Flashlight & No Laser.
LO = Means LASER Only.
OF = Means Only Flashlight.
LF = Means Laser & flashlight will be On.
What is PPM “Performance Power Magazine”?
One of the most important features I need to mention in this taser x2 review is the Performance Power Magazine Or PPM which is the power source for the taser X2:
- Before inserting the PPM into the X2 first ensure that the safety switches and the down safe position and that your X2 is not loaded
- The PPM has a raised Ridge along the backside this part will go to the towards the rear of the taser X2 handle as shown below:
- To insert it simply depressed the PPM release button located on the side of the handle and insert the PPM into the handle and press it all the way down until you hear an audible click.
- you can see that the PPM released button is flush with the handle the X2 PPM is now inserted.
- The X2 is ready to load and deploy and if you need to remove the PPM simply depressed the PPM release button pull gently on the PPM until it comes out.
What Is APPM “Automatic Shut-Down Performance Power Magazine”?
- Auto PPM is an option that ends the taser 5 seconds cycle, even if you pulled the trigger continuously.
- Audible alarm will sound after three seconds and will continue for the final two seconds of the cycle to as a indication to the officer or the owner of taser X2 that their cycle is about to end to deliver additional Cycles the officer will have to depress the Arc switch.
Reading The CID “Central Information Display”:
Once you start using the device, you would notice that have a nice display to inform you the taser X2 status , is the battery fully charged or not, which cartridge is selected and is in the safety mode or semi-auto mode to start shooting:
- Here are the details:
Battery:
The TASER X2 Batteries are not rechargeable but you are not going to replace them before 5 years or 500 shots.
Semi-Automatic:
- As you can see below, that play icon indicates to the current operating mode of the device.
Which Cartridge has been selected?
- You can notice that the left-cartridge is selected, so this should be one will be discharged once you pull the trigger.
How Much Does A TASER X2 Costs?
- 1300 US Dollars is the price, sometimes it goes down to 1259.99 & it might not be affordable for you based on your security needs.
