Recommended Drive-Stun Areas for Maximum Effect
Pursuant to your agency's policies and guidance, when operator safety is at risk, drive the X26 ECD into the
following areas for maximum effectiveness.
• Carotid (sides of neck) (see warning below) .
• Radial (forearm).
• Pelvic triangle
(see warning below) .
• Common peronial (Outside of thigh).

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 effective 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.
