When Distance Is the Difference
Most personal safety tools work at contact range. That means the threat is already on top of you before your tool is relevant. The TASER Pulse 2 is designed to change that equation — 15 feet of range means you can respond to an approaching threat before it becomes a physical confrontation.
This is a conducted energy device that fires two probes to temporarily override voluntary muscle control for 30 seconds. That window isn’t about causing harm — it’s about creating time and distance to get somewhere safe.
Who This Device Is For
People who want a defensive option with meaningful range. If you live alone, walk to your car after dark, or travel frequently, the Pulse 2 offers standoff distance that pepper spray and stun devices simply can’t match.
Individuals who are uncomfortable with firearms but want something more capable than a close-contact tool. The Pulse 2 occupies a specific space — more range and stopping power than most alternatives, without lethal force. It’s also used by people who already carry other tools but want a ranged option in their overall preparedness plan.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the TASER Pulse 2 if you want:
- 15-foot standoff distance — the longest effective range in civilian self-defense devices
- 30-second incapacitation cycle that provides real time to escape and call for help
- A non-lethal option with stopping capability independent of pain tolerance
Consider something else if you need:
- A lower-cost option — the Pulse 2 is a significant investment compared to stun guns or sprays
- Multiple-use without reloading — each cartridge is a single deployment
- Legal carry in all states — TASER devices are restricted in some jurisdictions
How the TASER Pulse 2 Actually Works
When you pull the trigger, a replaceable cartridge fires two small probes attached to thin wires. These probes deliver electrical pulses that cause neuromuscular incapacitation — meaning the target’s muscles lock up involuntarily regardless of pain tolerance, size, or determination. This is fundamentally different from a contact stun gun, which relies on pain compliance.
The 30-second cycle is automatic. Once deployed, the device continues its cycle while you move away. The built-in laser sight gives you an aiming reference, and the LED flashlight provides visibility in dark environments — parking garages, trails, unlit streets. The rechargeable lithium battery includes a status indicator so you’re never guessing about charge level.
The Pulse 2 also functions as a contact stun device if the cartridge has been expended or you’re in extremely close quarters. Two live cartridges are included, along with a conductive practice target so you can familiarize yourself with the device before you ever need it. TASER’s Safe Escape program replaces your device free of charge if you use it in a legitimate self-defense situation and leave it behind to get to safety.

Practical Details
The Pulse 2 measures 5.25″ x 1.25″ x 4.75″ and weighs 2.3 pounds. It’s constructed from polymer plastic with a soft-touch finish for secure grip. The package includes the TASER Pulse 2 device, 2 live replacement cartridges, rechargeable lithium battery with status indicator, carrying case, and conductive practice target. Covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty from TASER. Legal in most states — check your local laws before purchasing.
The TASER Pulse 2 gives you something most personal safety tools cannot: distance. Fifteen feet of range and 30 seconds of time to get to safety. If that matters to you, this is the device built for exactly that purpose.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the TASER Pulse 2 different from a regular stun gun?
A standard stun gun requires direct physical contact and relies on pain compliance — it hurts, but a determined or impaired person can push through it. The TASER Pulse 2 fires probes from 15 feet away and causes neuromuscular incapacitation, which means the muscles lock up involuntarily. It works regardless of pain tolerance, size, or substance influence. They operate on fundamentally different principles.
What happens after I fire the cartridge?
Each cartridge is a single deployment. Once fired, the device runs a 30-second automatic cycle. After that, you can load a second cartridge (two are included) or use the device as a contact stun tool. This is why practice with the included target is important — you want confidence in your aim since each cartridge is one shot.
Is the TASER Pulse 2 legal in my state?
TASER devices are legal for civilian ownership in most U.S. states, but some states and municipalities have restrictions or require permits. Check your specific state and local laws before purchasing. We cannot ship to locations where TASER devices are prohibited.
What is the Safe Escape program?
If you use your TASER Pulse 2 in a legitimate self-defense situation and leave the device behind to escape to safety, TASER will replace it at no charge. The idea is that you should never hesitate to get to safety because you’re worried about losing an expensive device. You’ll need to file a police report and contact TASER to initiate the replacement.
