1. What do the green blast doors indicate on a TASER cartridge?
a) 21 ft of line, extended probe needle, regular probe weight
b) 25 ft of line, regular probe needle, heavier probe weight
c) 25 ft of line, extended probe needle, heavier probe weight
d) 21 ft of line, regular probe needle, regular probe weight

2. Electricity follows;
a) The path of most resistance
b) From top to bottom following gravity
c) The path of least resistance between the probes
d) Or flows to any metal in contact

3. According to TASER V14, the proper term to describe the TASER Devices is:
a) Propelled Energy Device
b) Conducted Energy Weapon
c) Electronic Control Device
d) Extended Stun Device

4. When illuminated, the Power Indicator LED on the Advanced TASER M26 indicates:
a) The battery level is acceptable
b) Power to the circuitry only
c) The laser sight is functioning properly
d) The batteries need replacing

5. The 15, 21, and 25 foot cartridges propel the probes at a ___________ downward angle:
a) 7 degree
b) 8 degree
c) 4 degree
d) 21 degree

6. Firing the probes into the body of a subject even at close or point blank range is usually a
better option than a drive stun with the cartridge removed because;
a) It allows the person deploying the ECD to disengage and still deliver the affects
of the ECD
b) It allows the person deploying the ECD to drive stun away from the probes with
the cartridge still attached and increase the affects if needed
c) A drive stun with a cartridge removed will usually result in more significant
“signature” marks than a probe deployment
d) All of the above

7. A drive stun with the cartridge removed is sometimes not very effective because:
a) It is usually difficult to maintain contact with a combative suspect.
b) The spread of the contact points on the suspect is generally not large enough to
cause NMI.
c) A pressure point application on a combative subject may be difficult to achieve.
d) All of the above

8. The human nervous system has three main components that work together as a system.
Which of the three components functions to send signals to the brain about such things
as relative body positioning and pain?
a) Central nervous system
b) Motor nervous system
c) Sensory nervous system
d) Century nervous system

9. What nerves are responsible for voluntary skeletal muscle movement:
__________________________

10. According to the TASER V14 training the term used for describing the incapacitating
affects of the TASER ECD is;
a) Electro-muscular disruption (EMD)
b) Electro-muscular incapacitation (EMI)
c) Neuro-muscular disruption (NMD)
d) Neuro-muscular incapacitation (NMI)

11. Which part of the human nervous system functions as the Command Center?
a) Nerve Expressway
b) Motor nervous system
c) Sensory nervous system
d) Brain and Spinal cord

12. The ADVANCED TASER M26 ECD operates at a peak open gap 50,000 volts. A normal
electrical wall outlet in the USA operates at about 110 volts and can be dangerous to a
human. What is the main reason the electrical output of the TASER ECD is safer?
a) Because the amps of the ECD are extremely low
b) Because the amps are extremely high
c) Because the wall outlet is pulsed energy
d) Because the joule output of the ECD is 300 times greater

13. While a violent subject is incapacitated by the affects of the TASER ECD and it is
reasonably safe to do so, cover officer(s) should attempt to control/cuff the subject
under power. Doing so may;
a) Reduce the need for additional cycles
b) Reduce the likelihood the subject will roll during the cycle
c) Reduce the potential of injury to the officer(s) because the subject is
incapacitated only during the cycle
d) All of the above

14. The probes are propelled from the TASER cartridge by:
a) Primer propellant
b) Compressed Argon gas
c) Compressed Nitrogen
d) Compressed blended gas (proprietary secret blend)

15. The ADVANCED TASER M26 high peak arcing voltage of 50,000 volts only occurs
when the arc is required to jump a gap such as between the electrodes on the end of
the ADVANCED TASER M26, or when a probe lodges in loose clothing and must
jump the gap to the body. When traveling across the human body, the peak voltage
drops to approximately;
a) 20,000
b) 10,000
c) 5,000
d) 1,200

16. During TASER voluntary exposures which of the following are required safety rules?
a) Always use two spotters when volunteer is standing
b) Spotters must hold volunteers under the armpit to avoid twisting their shoulder
c) The volunteer may be held up or carefully lowered to the ground
d) All of the above

17. Why is a cartridge deployment, even to close range, more desirable than a drive stun?
a) Both probes make contact for the full 5 seconds.
b) Less chance of multiple “signature marks” on the suspect.
c) NMI can be achieved if the a drive stun is applied over 4” from the darts
d) All of the above

18. The ADVANCED TASER M26 NMI Device affects the:
a) Motor nervous system only
b) Sensory nervous system only
c) Sensory and motor nervous systems
d) Cardiac system

19. The "TASER-Wave" electronic signals of the ADVANCED TASER M26 are effective:
a) Through up to two inches of clothing.
b) Through some types soft body armor.
c) Through lightweight clothing.
d) All of the above.

20. When using the ADVANCED TASER M26 with chemical sprays, the following must be
considered
a) Type of propellant and base of chemical or pepper spray (for flammability).
b) If the threat has been sprayed in the eyes.
c) Whether the chemical spray was O.C. or C.S.
d) All of the above.

21. The 21 foot standard cartridge has:
a) Yellow blast doors
b) Silver blast doors
c) Green blast doors
d) Orange blast doors
e) Blue blast doors

22. When deploying probes, the TASER should generally be aimed at:
a) Face
b) Center of body mass
c) The throat
d) The head

23. After deploying the ADVANCED TASER M26 upon the "threat.”
a) Immediately turn the unit off
b) Be prepared to deliver additional cycles if necessary.
c) Use the unit as a drive stun if the probes miss the threat or reload the TASER.
d) Both B and C

24. The timing cycle of the ADVANCED TASER M26 is for what duration?
a) 1 minute
b) 30 seconds
c) 15 seconds
d) 5 seconds
