== Models == As of September 30, 2024, [[Axon (company)|Axon]] has three main models of Taser [[Electroshock weapon|conducted electrical weapons]] (CEWs) available for law enforcement and civilians where it is legal. Axons also lists the Taser Pulse as a civilian weapon, which runs at a 30 second cycle once fired; this is intended to allow the user to drop the CEW after firing and the escape from the target while they are incapacitated. The Taser X26P is a single-shot CEW. This was the main Taser model during the 2000s and 2010s, today it is intended as a compact model.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TASER X26P {{!}} Axon |url=https://www.axon.com/products/taser-x26p |access-date=2020-04-03 |website=www.axon.com |language=en-us}}</ref> Β The Taser X2 adds dual [[laser]]s and a button-activated warning arc function.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.axon.com/products/taser-x2|title=TASER X2 {{!}} Axon|website=www.axon.com|language=en-us|access-date=2020-04-03}}</ref> When the warning arc is engaged, the Taser CEW will display an arc of electricity at the front of the device without firing the cartridge, which is intended to intimidate an aggressor with the goal of having them voluntarily comply without the officer needing to use force.<ref>{{Cite web |title=MyAxon |url=https://my.axon.com/s/article/Warning-arc-display?language=en_US |access-date=2023-02-16 |website=MyAxon |language=en-US}}</ref> The Taser 7 is a two-shot device with spiral darts that spool from the dart allowing the probes to fly straighter. It also adds the ability to load cartridges intended for different ranges.<ref name="Taser 7 OG TItle {{!}} Axon"/> The Taser 10 device was officially announced by Axon on January 24, 2023.<ref>{{Cite press release |last=Axon |title=Axon Unveils TASER 10 |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/axon-unveils-taser-10-301729592.html |access-date=2023-02-16 |website=www.prnewswire.com |language=en}}</ref> In addition to the functions of the Taser 7, the Taser 10 features an increased probe distance of up to 45 feet, waterproof capabilities, increased probe velocity (205 feet per second), and ability to deploy the probes individually allowing the officer to create their own "spread" unlike previous models, which relied heavily on precise aiming of the prongs at a fixed angle with the assistance of two lasers. The warning arc function was replaced with a high-pitched warning noise upon activating the weapon.<ref>{{Cite web |title=TASER 10 - Axon |url=https://www.axon.com/products/taser-10 |access-date=2023-02-16 |website=www.axon.com}}</ref>
