Chapter 4 Cartridges & ECD Operation
If the drive-stun is not eective, evaluate the location of the drive-stun, consider an additional cycle to a
dierent pressure point, or consider alternative force options in accordance with your agency's policies.
When using the drive-stun, push (drive) the front of the X26P ECD rmly against the body of the subject. Simply
“touching” the X26P ECD against the subject is not sucient. The subject is likely to recoil and try to get away
from the ECD. It is necessary to aggressively drive the front of the ECD into the subject for maximum eect.
Recommended Drive-Stun Areas for Maximum Eect
Only use the X26P ECD pursuant to your agency’s policies and guidance. Drive the X26P ECD into the following
areas for maximum eectiveness:
• Carotid (sides of neck) (see warning below).
• Radial (forearm).
• Pelvic triangle (see warning below).
• Outside of thigh.
• Tibialis (calf muscle).
WARNING
Use care when applying a drive-stun to the neck or groin. These areas are sensitive to mechanical injury
(such as crushing to the trachea or testicles if applied forcefully). However, these areas have proven
highly eective targets. These areas should only be targeted when users are defending themselves from
violent attacks. Refer to your department’s policy regarding drive-stuns in these and other sensitive
areas.
