Problems
with Competitors' Pepper Sprays
Now,
let’s consider some problems with ordinary
pepper sprays.
-
First, the safety device is too slow because
it is awkward to manipulate. You lose half of your manual
dexterity when you experience the adrenalin rush that comes
with a sudden attack. You waste critical seconds fumbling
with a clumsy safety.
-
Next, accidental discharges occur too frequently
with ordinary pepper sprays.
-
They are not accurate: Ordinary pepper
sprays are notoriously inaccurate. Most people miss the
first shot or two, and then correct their aim by seeing
where the spray went. Again, too slow! The first shot counts.
It could be your only chance!
Also, aiming an ordinary pepper spray is even more
difficult at night, because then the red
pepper spray is practically invisible. Obviously, you
cannot correct
your aim if you cannot see where your shots went.
-
Easily disarmed: You can be easily disarmed
trying to use ordinary pepper sprays. The parties are inside
arms’ reach when most pepper sprays are fired. When
you hold up an ordinary pepper spray to aim at an attacker’s
face, he sees the movement and reacts by grabbing it
away
or blocking the spray.
- Awkward
to shoot behind you: Ordinary pepper sprays are
hard to shoot behind you effectively. Women are often grabbed
from behind with a hand over their mouth to prevent them
from screaming for help. The victim just shoots herself
in the ear or hair with an ordinary pepper spray. A weapon
that is not effective behind you is worthless.
-
Most pepper sprays are just throwaways
because they are not refillable.
-
Many people do not carry pepper sprays because they ugly
and bulky.
