"The Enforcer felt well made, felt more substantial in the hand. The PhaZZer Enforcer is equal to and in a few respects better in a side-by-side comparison." — Sgt. Dale Halcomb, Cumberland, KY Police tion studies and guidelines. This automatic three-cycle shutdown technology is used to limit liability that may attach due to too many energy applications. This safety circuit can be manually overridden in the case that additional force is reasonable and necessary. 160-Lumen Light Plus Laser p The PhaZZer Enforcer can fire impact munitions—including OC Pepper, Rubber Ball and Paintball Marking. feature—the Enforcer comes with a rubber grip sleeve, which gives it an excellent feel. The PhaZZer Enforcer comes in Black and in Yellow. The Enforcer also has an integral Picatinny rail at the top of the frame. This allows the mounting of lights or sights, but it especially allows the Enforcer itself to be mounted to a less-lethal launcher or patrol rife. Limiting Less-Lethal Liability With each trigger pull, the PhaZZer delivers a fve-second application of energy. This can be shortened by mechanically turning the device off. The PhaZZer will deliver three such full-cycle applications. Then safety shutdown circuit technology activates, in compliance with current American Academy of Emergency Medicine, Department of Justice, and American Heart Associa- The PhaZZer Enforcer uses a 160-lumen white light. It could easily be used to clear a room. Not too long ago, a mere 70 lumens was considered a "tactical" level of light. The Enforcer LED white light is very bright, and has plenty of reach—up to 45 yards. The powerful light, which rivals a belt-carried fashlight, is one of the Enforcer's biggest competitive advantages. Importantly, the LED white light is activated by its own, ambidextrous switches. The switches are located on either side of the frame, right above the trigger. One is in easy reach of the shooting hand index fnger, while the other is in easy reach of the support hand thumb. Unlike the competition, the white light operates independently of the main power switch—you do not have to activate the energy deployment feature in order to activate the white light. Activate the Enforcer The activating—arming—safety switch is located at the rear of the frame, just below where a rear sight would be. This is a different location from the competition, but was easy to get used to. The TASER switch works like a safety on many auto pistols. However, the Enforcer switch works like the safety on the venerable Mossberg 500 police shotgun. No one had trouble sliding the Mossberg safety off come game day. When the Enforcer switch is turned on, the red laser emanates PHAZZER CARTRIDGES • Dart Pro 15 Foot – uses nitrogen to launch two probes connected to insulated wires. When the two probes connect to the subject and close the circuit, electro-muscular disruptive energy is deployed. This is an optional police cartridge. • Dart Pro 21 Foot – uses nitrogen to launch two probes connected to insulated wires. When the two probes connect to the subject and close the circuit, electro-muscular disruptive energy is deployed. This is the primary police cartridge. • PepperBall 30 Foot – launches a single PepperBall projectile to a maximum effective range of 30 feet. On impact, the projectile ruptures, releasing oleoresin capsicum (OC pepper). • Rubber Bullet 30 Foot – launches a single .68-caliber rubber ball to an effective accurate range of 30 feet. This is intended to distract or confuse the subject, but it will not incapacitate like a traditional impact munition. • Paintball Mark 30 Foot – launches a single .68-caliber paintball to an effective accurate range of 30 feet. On impact, the projectile ruptures and marks the subject, but it can also be used to distract or confuse the subject. • Multi-Target Pepper Powder 8 Foot – blast deploys OC pepper powder with an effective range of 2 to 12 feet, obviously wind direction dependent. The OC powder impairs the sight and breathing of subjects. • Dart Pro Training Cartridge 15 Foot and 25 Foot - uses nitrogen to launch two probes connected to non-conductive, nylon fshing line. The point of impact and dart spread of the Training probes is the same as the duty probes on the 15-foot and 25-foot cartridges. www.lawandordermag.com 47
