TASER Bolt 2 Energy Weapon User Manual
Chapter 4: TASER Bolt 2 Energy Weapon and Cartridge Features
that you shoot and miss, you can also use your Bolt 2 energy weapon as a direct contact stun device,
which is designed for pain compliance.
Contact Stun Backup
Contact Stun is the use of the TASER Bolt 2 as a stun gun, rather than by firing probes. You can contact
stun either with an already fired cartridge or without a cartridge installed. Probe deployment is usually
considered more desirable if incapacitation is the desired objective, even at close range, because the
drive-stun is only a pain-compliance use.
When using the contact stun, push the firing button and push (drive) the front of the energy weapon
firmly against the body of the attacker. Simply “touching” the Bolt 2 energy weapon against the person
is not sufficient. The subject is likely to recoil and try to get away from the stun electrodes. If the
drive-stun is not effective, evaluate the location of the drive-stun and consider an additional cycle to
a different pressure point.
