Pepper Spray Comes in Many Forms and Are Appropriate for Different Things

With all of the threats of crime in the world today, it is important to be able to defend yourself. Pepper spray is a [wonderful|perfect|suitable] alternative of self defense. Not only is it non-lethal but it is highly effective. Though the important components may be similar, not all pepper sprays are in fact the same. The things that puts them apart the most is their dispersal patterns and how they are employed.

The first type of pepper spray we’ll look at is actually in the form of foam. Pepper foam works just as well as a normal pepper spray except that it is foam, like shaving cream. The greatest benefit of pepper foam is that it has almost no blow back, so that if it is windy, it won’t get blown back onto you.

Another type of pepper spray is one that is dispersed in a fog form. This type of pepper spray is very unusable for the average consumer. It would only be workable for crowd control or even to operate against several aggressors at once. As it is fog, the chances of the wind carrying it back are extremely high.

A more sensible pepper spray and the most accepted, is one that is dispersed through what is called a “forced cone.” As you can presume, the pepper spray comes out of the can in a cone shaped pattern. This helps to maximize the likelihood of hitting the target. The pepper spray is dispersed in a mist so that it will more effectively saturate the target’s skin and membranes. Blow back is not much of an alarm even though the pepper spray is dispersed in a mist.

Yet another dispersal method for pepper spray is the broken stream. These forms of pepper spray are similar to that of a high powered squirt gun, spraying pepper spray in a stream. This type of pepper spray is great to have in your car in case you need to spray it through a cracked window at a carjacker. Blow back is practically nothing.

As with any pepper spray, it is vital to remember that you try to target the face for the highest effectiveness.
