The TASER 7 Close-Quarters Cartridge delivers reliable neuromuscular incapacitation at distances under 12 feet. This specialized cartridge addresses the critical gap between contact stun capabilities and standard 21-foot cartridges, providing law enforcement and security professionals with enhanced tactical flexibility in confined spaces.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard TASER cartridges designed for maximum range, the close-quarters variant features modified probe deployment optimized for encounters within 12 feet. The cartridge maintains the same 50,000-volt output as standard units while delivering improved accuracy and penetration at reduced distances. This configuration reduces the risk of probe spread issues common with standard cartridges used at close range.
Key Features
- 12-foot maximum effective range with optimized probe spread pattern
- Dual-laser targeting system for enhanced accuracy in close encounters
- Compatible exclusively with TASER 7 conducted electrical weapons
- Nitrogen propulsion system delivers consistent probe velocity
- Barbed probes designed for reliable clothing penetration
- 5-year shelf life when stored in original packaging
- Serialized cartridges for accountability and tracking
Field testing demonstrates consistent neuromuscular incapacitation effectiveness across various clothing types and environmental conditions. The close-quarters design proves particularly valuable in building searches, vehicle extractions, and crowd control scenarios where standard cartridge ranges exceed tactical requirements. Temperature stability from -4°F to 122°F ensures reliable function across operational environments.
