A COMMON SENSE APPROACH
The S-200 is the newest wave form technology in the marketplace. Unlike, older discharge technologies, the S-200 takes advantage of new microcomputer technology to manage the flow of current (current is what is dangerous to humans). This technology allows for less initial current and spread the waveform over a longer period of time to immobilize one's muscles. Makes much more sense, doesn't it?
The two-dart hand-held Stinger S-200 is a projectile stun device that combines state-of-the-art features and strategic capabilities with the rugged look and feel of a professional tactical weapon.
Among some of its revolutionary features is an ambidextrous button to release the cartridge. Officers now can eject a cartridge with a single hand. This will allow an officer to quickly reload, if necessary, by obtaining an additional cartridge without having to use that hand to pull the spent cartridge out. Allowing a faster reload than its competitors, the Stinger S-200 allows and officer to have a free hand faster. That time may be the difference between a difficult situation and an arrest.
Other great features include cost-effective, off-the-shelf batteries. Why wait for proprietary batteries to be delivered when you can get S-200 batteries virtually any where. Also innovative is a trigger firing sequence which is programmable. The trigger can be configured to operate in manual mode (fires only when the trigger is depressed), semi-automatic mode (fires automatically for two seconds), or automatically (fires automatically for four seconds). The S-200 has a recessed bolt safety which cannot possibly break off. Another feature that was on an officer's "wish list" included a recessed cartridge so the cartridge would be protected from dislodgement in a holster, a fight, or from vibration from motorcycles.
Because the S-200 uses revolutionary technology, the cost to produce is less. Therefore savings are passed on to the departments and ultimately, the taxpayers.
Stinger anticipates releasing the TruVu ™ audio video camera for the S-200 in the summer of 2008.
