Choosing pepper spray
for self-defense
Pepper spray is a self-defense
product which, when sprayed in an attacker’s
face, causes the eyes to shut, and causes intense
choking and coughing. It can be used to disorient
or disable your attacker for long enough for you
to escape. Pepper spray is used by many police
departments as well for subduing subjects who
are out of hand. There is a wide variety of pepper
spray products on the market today. This article
will briefly discuss some of the products available
from americansecuritywarehouse.com.
Pepper Shot is a 10% pepper spray
with an extremely fine grain for better penetration
to the eyes and skin. It is rated at 2 million
Scoville heat units, which is a relative measure
of the burning sensation it produces. Available
in ½, 2 and 4 oz. containers. The ½
ounce container contains enough pepper spray for
5 one-second bursts. The 2 ounce version contains
10-12 one-second bursts, while the 4 oz. model
contains enough for 18-20 one-second shots. The
½ oz. version is effective from up to 8
feet away. The 2 oz. version from 10-12 feet,
and the 4 oz. version from 15-18 feet.
Another fine pepper spray product
is the Pepper Pager. Disguised as a pager, it
is designed to be clipped to your belt for easy
accessibility. It contains a 10% spray of Pepper
Shot, which in addition to causing the eyes to
close causes the mucous membranes to swell, making
it difficult to breathe. A highly effective product,
each Pepper Pager contains two ½ oz. canisters
that release at once. It contains enough pepper
spray for 10-12 one-second bursts and is effective
between 8 and 12 feet.
Wildfire 18% Pepper Spray is
another excellent choice. It produces 3 million
scoville heat units and comes in 5 different sizes.
It is available in ½, 1-1/2, 4, 9 or 16
oz. containers. One of the hottest sprays on the
market.
The Pepper Pen is the most discrete
pepper spray device we carry. Disguised to look
like a normal fountain pen, it actually contains
a small pepper spray mechanism. The 10 gram stream
unit contains enough pepper spray for 5 one-second
bursts.
