Over the last several years the popularity of self defense sprays, also known as tear gas,
mace or pepper spray (capsicum) has grown tremendously. The rising rate of violent crime,
the publicity and media coverage of such crimes, and the reasoning, 'if it's good enough
for the cops, it's good enough for me," has led more and more citizens to rely on
these devices. It has also caused more and more people to seek out pepper spray training.
The demand for self defense sprays has become so great that today there are literally
dozens of different brands, sizes, sizes, etc., There are three basic chemical
compositions used, only one of which is worth considering for civilian self defense.
Comparative Analysis
There are three basic chemical compounds used in self defense sprays:
· CS (Orthoclorobenzalmalonitrile)
· CN (Alphachloroacetaphenone)
· OC or Pepper (Oleoresin Capsicum)
OC is the newest of the three, by far the most effective, and the best one you should
consider for self defense use. Pepper spray effects everyone differently but it is by far
the most effective
Pepper Spray Effects
CS and CN are irritants to membrane tissues. They cause stinging pain and tearing, and
take from 5 to 30 seconds to be effective. In cases of persons who are drunk, on drugs,
suffering a psychotic episode, or otherwise cannot feel pain, there may be no effect at
all, For years the field experiences of police officers has been riddled with accounts of
total failure of CN and CS products when used as a self defense spray.
OC is not an irritant. It is an inflammatory agent; and this makes all the difference in
the world. When a person Is sprayed with OC, two things happen instantly. First, the
person's eyes clamp shut, hard. Not only that, but if they do manage to force them open
they still can't see because the OC dilates the capillaries and causes temporary
blindness. Second, an immediate fit of uncontrollable coughing doubles the person over
because the OC causes instant inflammation of the breathing tissues, restricting all but
life support breathing. OC has the affect of putting up a brick wall between an assailant
and the sprayer. As one police trainer has put it, "It's like being hit with a flame
thrower!" An assailant who's sprayed with OC stops what they're doing, stops what
they're thinking - period. This is true even for those who are drunk, on drugs, or
psychotic. OC works extremely well on animals, although most versions are not made for
this purpose.
There is no basic difference between mace and pepper spray as Mace is a brand name, not a type.
