TASER X1 with Integrated Laser Sight, Battery and 2 Cartridges

TASER X1 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the TASER X1 rechargeable?

   • No, the TASER X1 is not rechargeable. However, the batteries are user-replaceable and provide sufficient energy for numerous applications. TASER X1 replacement batteries are available for purchase.

2. Are the cartridges reusable?

   • Each cartridge can be fired only once but can deliver multiple electrical cycles. While the darts can project only once, subsequent electrical cycles can be engaged if the darts remain in the target after the initial 5-second electrical cycle.

3. Can I buy cartridges longer than 15 feet?

   • No, civilians are limited to purchasing 15-foot cartridges. Cartridges of other lengths are available exclusively for Law Enforcement agencies.

4. After the cartridge is fired, are you completely defenseless?

   • No, all TASER energy weapons are equipped with backup stun gun features to be used after the cartridge has been deployed.

5. Do the probes need to hit a specific area to be effective?

   • As long as all conditions for Neuromuscular Incapacitation (NMI) are met, including probe connection and spread, a current can flow through muscles, causing the attacker to lose control.

6. Will a TASER X1 be effective on an attacker in thick clothing?

   • Yes, the darts can penetrate clothing, and the electricity can jump up to two inches of combined distances between the probes and the skin.

7. Will TASER X1 incapacitation effects work on larger, stronger people?

   • Yes, a TASER energy weapon may be equally effective on a 300-pound man as it is on a 150-pound woman.

8. Will a TASER X1 work on an attacker who is high or intoxicated?

   • Probe deployment's ability to induce NMI does not depend on the target's mental state, as long as probe connection and spread conditions are met.
