Consumers looking for a discreet and travel-friendly taser may be drawn to the TASER Bolt 2 from Axon. The device can immobilize an attacker for up to 30 seconds and boasts a high lumen light for nighttime usage. In addition, a companion app, upon discharging the Bolt 2, will transmit the GPS coordinates of the fired weapon directly to law enforcement.
In addition to the Safe Escape Replacement Guarantee — which guarantees the replacement of any device that is lost after being discharged in self-defense — the TASER Bolt 2 includes access to a network of certified instructors for training and support.
"We are excited to announce the launch of this next generation personal safety device that will allow customers to protect themselves with confidence," says Matt Angorn, VP of Axon Consumer Products. "The enhancements and safety features of the TASER Bolt 2 non-lethal energy weapon will provide civilians with peace of mind and the ability to safely protect themselves, their loved ones and their communities."
