Pepper Sprays
What you have heard about are the man made chemical compounds commonly referred
to as CS or CN. These are your tear gases. For example, military personnel are subjected to similar
chemicals in the course of their training to simulate a chemical attack in a war time
situation. After repeated exposure, a resistance is built up so the "gas chamber," as it
is called, does not affect them as much. And it's true that some people are just not as
affected as others are. Other law enforcement personnel, martial artists, and yes, even determined
criminals can fight through the effects of CS or CN chemical sprays.
Chemical Compounds that make up defensive sprays:
- CS (Orthochlorobenzalmalonitrile)
- CN (alphachloroacetaphenone)
- OC (Oleoresin Capsicum)
Pepper Spray, on the other hand, has the effect of putting a brick wall in between
the assailant and the sprayer. When someone gets a full blast of OC pepper spray, they
stop what they are doing. They stop what they are thinking. Even people previously
mentioned that could withstand the effects of tear gas, are very personally affected
by OC pepper spray. This includes people that are drunk, on drugs, or psychotic.
Ok, so how do I decide which one to get?
