A review of the Taser C2 Stun Gun by Stinger Defense.
The
Taser C2 is one of the best stun guns we have seen. Unlike a regular
stun gun in which direct contact must be made, the Taser C2 can "stun"
your assailant from up to 15 feet away.
It is easy to use and has features which prevents it's misuse by
criminals. In testing the Taser C2 Stun gun was more effective then our
1,000,000+ volt stun guns in putting a person down. In police studies
it has more instant incapacitation "take down power" then a 9mm handgun.
It also worked through normal clothing (the probes/barbs did not have to make direct contact with the skin). However when wearing thick winter clothing (t-shirt, thermals, sweater and thick winter jacket) it lost its effectiveness. We figure this was about 2 inches of clothing and that was about as much as one would ever wear in winter, so in real world conditions the Taser Stun Guns should have no problems in being effective.
The optional laser is not really an option. If you are in a crisis, with the adrenaline flowing you will need the laser so you will know exactly where to fire. If you are going to purchase this get it with the laser - it is a must. PS - it can not be fitted with a laser at a later time.
Here at Stinger Defense we give the Taser C2 the following:
Effectiveness: A+
Ease of Use: A+
Value/Price: B- ($349.95 with Laser - Replacement Cartridges about $25.00 each).
Ease of Carry: B- (this item is large and suited more for a backup
located in the home, office or car. It is to big to really car on ones
person all day long unless you are a women with a large purse).
Overall: A- to A (my wife liked it a hair more then me). Both me and my wife carry one of these - she keeps her in the front pocket of her purse (remember you must be able to get to it fast and that is not in the bottom of your purse) while I keep mine in the truck. I prefer to carry a small stun gun in my pocket for daily use and mace on my key ring.
