I think the purpose of the led is not only to illuminate your target in the dark but also to get the attacker to momentarily focus on the light, opening their eyes and allowing you to dose them pretty good.
@@igotothemimestripclub6248 As someone who has the upgraded version of this gun, trust me this theory is completely false. The light is so damn bright it actually makes anyone looking to it, either shut, squint their eyes or look away completely, making it harder to hit them with the spray...Its mainly for seeing someone who might invade your house at night. I carry it in one hand, and my knife in the other tactical style, in case I somehow miss all the shots or the guy gets too close.
I have this one. I think it is the best in class for the price. I carry it and some mini self protection"purse" pepper sprays and Bear spray. I also live in bear country and have the big $35 bear spray. The differences and comparisons. First, Bear spray is not as potent. It puts out a lot , but, not as strong on the pepper heat. It is a deterrent meant to allow the bear to get away. Second , bear spray can is very bulky and heavy. Each has it's place. The tiny "Purse" stuff is potent and best if you are face to face, or being assaulted. The bear spray has around 20' shot and is very fine mist that the wind will effect greatly. So you can drift it to the bear. This Mace gun is the "get it done" for everything. While hiking or biking with my dog I am able to stop attacks on myself or my dog from a greater distance with accuracy. The LED light is a bit weak, yet, it works great in very dark times to help with the aim. I do not carry a firearm anymore. The legal ramifications of even pulling a firearm, as defined by law, make it a liability to even carry a firearm. With a firearm you are all in, or not. With pepper sprays I can protect myself without such actions as that result in death and injury to the attacker. Legally much better than anything.
Thank you! I'm reading on a local forum (CalGuns) where a guy pumping gas was rushed by a mugger wielding a knife. He produced some Saber Blue Dye OC sparay and dossed the mugger. I'm going to take a look at that spray as well. The idea of a super strong non-washable dye is a serious bonus when the police are looking for the assailant.
My concern would be that the gun like appearance would be an immediate tell and a potential escalated threat signal to someone who is packing the real thing. Might be ok for a critter attack or a REAL last resort (VERY last).
Exactly my thought, you are pulling a gun on someone, and you are carrying around a gun-shaped object. You pull a typical OC can, or better yet one of the concealed models and you don't immediately turn things into a fire fight, they may know you're going for OC or they might not, but they're not going to immediately assume shootout at the OK Corral. Then there's the obvious problems of carry. A co-worker notices it on you, or sees it in a purse or pocket and next thing you know you're fired for carrying a firearm at work. A cop sees this in your center console in your car, or, yes, on your bike, and you are ending up in the back of a squad car attempting to explain that no, you're not carrying a firearm. If it doesn't get you shot.
Yes.your right This looks like a small "Derringer" / Small caliber pistol. which could be mistaken by assailant or cops as a firearm. Depending on the situation, I say this mace pistol is a back up because of its shape. A lot of criminals carry guns now days. Match with similar weapon , is always better. And any pepper spray is good to have for last resort for non-lethal situations.
Aside from the video GWebs put out on the pepper blaster where he shot pretty true to target none of the others could hit a target on the first shot. And while I'm sure the pepper blaster has a more "forceful" blast, being limited to two shots does not seem like a good idea. With controlled quick bursts we got well over seven shots per canister.
I tested a similar looking one outside with the real stuff in it. I fired it away from me but here was a light breeze blowing towards me, I caught a wif no liquid landed on me just a light little bit of atomized spray came back, I couldn't even see it. I started coughing uncontrollably until I puked, so there are two messages here 1) If you get this stuff sprayed all over you, you will probably end up in hospital. 2) If you use this weapon hold your breath and run away as soon as you have fired or you may end up the floor as well.
This is not exactly a true statement. I can definitively say, having had to restrain countless people during my EMS career who were high on drugs or alcohol, they would not be nearly as susceptible to pepper/mace as you were..You would be very surprised and frankly all you really have to do is watch videos of people still fighting after multiple taser administrations to understand my statement.
@@chrish4483 I have been sprayed with pepper spray, and can say for a fact. It does not stop you from moving, or slow you down. It's really no different than closing your eyes. Gaining distance and changing your location as you spray, are as important as anything else you do. In my opinion
@@csettles1841 no offense taken..but.if you read my statement above you might understand that my first hand experience with countless individuals over 30 years begs to differ
@@chrish4483 sorry brother, but if I'm 10 or 20 yards away from you, headed your direction, pepper spray will not stop me from reaching you. All I have to do is duck my head, I can still see the ground, and if you stay still??? Sorry brother, my experiences are different than yours. No offense intended
@@csettles1841 this was exactly the point to which I was referring..thank you for confirming my point about less than lethal methods..seen them not work or work marginally too many times and if I'm protecting myself or my family I won't be relying on less than lethal methods
CCW are issued by the county in Ca. Some counties are much less onerous. However I live in LA county which don't give out CCW licenses to almost anyone.
Except you can go to prison if you shoot someone, even if they are in your home. They need to be armed as well for you to not be tried with murder. Sad that gun owners don't know that.
I think your better off with the regular pepper spray because it needs to be used as a surprise attack. The regular spray can be more easily concealed. Also, when a gun is pointed the natural reaction is to turn around, or shoot If they have a real gun. In that case you just turned a bad situation into possibly your last situation...
I like that. Didnt know they make em. My favorite tool/ defense weapon is a big screwdriver i carry on me mostly. I ride motorcycles most ofvthe time. So its good to have some tools. This macegun is easier i bet than shanking somebody with a screwdriver.
I really love the man being so thrilled by the fact that the mace gun has actually some acuracy and the woman just says "yeah like on of those waterguns". If you think of it, the acuracy is not all that spectacular. good testing!
Well that's only half true. If you spray someone with pepper spray or tase somoene they can still sue you even if it was legitimate. Further, I don't really advocate going for the spray first over gun in all cases. There are instances when you really should pull the gun first and use it if you really are going to die. Appreciate you watching/commenting!
Cool...I might get this for the wife. She works in downtown Baltimore and likes to carry pepper spray when walking to and from her car. Looks like it would be easier to use than the Kimber Pepperblaster and easier to aim than traditional pepper spray cans.
The water makes it hard to tell. However, it was a broken stream at 20'. It was very clear I was making contact though. 10' Was much tighter and was more accurate.
this is a good defensive non lethal weapon. I keep it easily accessible in my truck all the time.I have almost felt like i have needed it a few times so it was worth the $40. The advantage of the pappergun is the range. These shoot so much farther than traditional sprays, and with regular pepper spray you could accidently spray yourself. There are advantages and disadvantages to both, but i prefer the mace pepper gun.
You could get killed for holding a gun without the benefit of a gun. I have my bicycle lock key on a mace key chain so that the mace is in my hand frequently and does not look like a firearm. My bicycle light is a Fenix PD35 which comes off for hand use as a 850 lumen strobe in my left hand. My mace does not bother cashiers when I pull it out of my change pocket at the counter either. Do not get yourself killed turn your back to a gun.
There are still 20 something states that don't offer "shall issue" for CCW. I'd love to have a CCW, but it's not an option here, so we keep lobbying for it.
Check out the Cold Steel Inferno spray. It has a really tight stream of foam. I've seen some videos of people getting shot with it, the foam looks sticky, greasy and effective.
pepper sprays main value is as a compliance torture device, or as the lasd calls it, a "pain persuasion" device. thesubjectis typically already rendered nonthreatening, and the officer needs to get the suspect off the ground, or needs some measure of compliance on the part of the subject. a threat is usually uttered beforehand, such as "you"re fixin to get a face of liquid fire, buddy" as the officer shakes his canister. a determined assailant will only be enraged by pepper spray. be aware.
+Matthew Kimball Maybe for law enforcement... For a 99 pound female for example on a jog, I assume they're going to use it different. Spray the attacker and run away. Lets not over-complicate things.
Hi, Hoshnasi. Great video. I did a ton of research before I bought the Mace Gun. Just shared you're demo video to educate a friend. I live in Detroit and it's more common for me to run into some insane and/or hallucinating drug addict that thinks I'm a "White Rabbit trying to steal his Lucky Charms" (or something like that) than a criminal who actually wants to Kill Me. I think it's a great Secondary LTL weapon. The pencil stream is strong and accurate and I can use it without hesitation for possibly being charged with Murder. If they blind side me and use it against me, I'm still going home. Thumbs up from the streets of Detroit.
I applaud you for this as many people like the one above seem to enjoy the destruction of life. Pepper spray/Tasers are or should be first use if one cannot disengage a violent situation. This also helps insulate you better from lawsuits but most important gives piece of mind one did all they could to prevent disaster.
Yeah, every demonstration video I have seen with the pepper blaster has someone shooting the first shot in a wild direction because aiming is a bit tough.
From your neighbors point of view: Wow! What a beautiful day, I thnk I'll go pull the weeds by our wall-fence.. La la la la- Oh look its our neighbor, I wonder what hes up- OHHH GOD WHAT THE FUCK MY FACE WHY WHYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!? IT HURTS IT HURTS!
Fox pepper spray has 5 million SHU and Vexor has 15 million, both of these sprays are like an A-bomb when used. I have received back blast from both and was hating life when it happened. thanks for the vid btw!
These are indeed good, though if you point something that looks like a gun in a tense situation and the assailant has a "real" gun, you made a big mistake.
Keep in mind the Tueller drill when preparing yourselves for a self defense scenario. Anyone less than 21 feet/7yds can get a drop on you in seconds. It's further than you would think. Has anyone tried practicing deploying the real thing to know what to expect when you get the pepper on you too? Not saying shoot your self in the face, but have an idea what over spray feels like?
I was going to say, as practical as the design is, I am leery of people freaking out and thinking you have a gun if they just saw the handle. I would not worry about it too much where I am because PA has open carry, so even if people think you have a gun, it's not a big deal.
I have tried Cold Steel back in 09 (working security), the guy was on fire for 2 hrs even after being doused with over 2 gallons of cold water. I have had both Cold Steel, Fox get on me, it truly sucks. Vexor, is super fierce and a guy that used to be a chemical guy at the prison thought he would be cute and huff some Vexor, it kicked his arse
This seems like a really bad idea to me. You do not want people confusing a "less than lethal" weapon with a gun, whether it be an armed bystander trying to help, a cop just pulling up to a situation who doesn't know who the players are yet, or a bad guy who perhaps has a gun but hasn't put it in to play.There is a reason Tazers are bright yellow. This is a good way to get yourself shot when you pull out your pepper spray.. and other than the "cool factor" it really offers no real advantages to a regular can of pepper spray.
Thanks for making this video! It looks kinda big to carry around in the front pocket of my jeans, but maybe a pair of cargo pants at Walmart would work 'cause those have big, loose front pockets. Again, thanks!
I bought one of these a couple years ago when they first came out, but they are illegal here in Hawaii because it looks like a gun, lol. I now carry the 3oz Fox Labs 5.3 Million SHU pepper spray with the green identification dye in it myself.
I really like your review and seeing the inert spray is helpful. It seems pretty straightforward to use but I see where the inert spray could perfect aim and give you familiarity with the trigger pressure, etc. Tell me, does the real pepper spray have a dye in it to mark an attacker? I had one that also sprayed a bright pink ink which I liked. It was expired and I recently just bought another one. It is just a small hand held canister but would be awfully helpful for roaming dogs, and/or assailants up to 10 feet. I prefer a farther spraying one but honestly there's an aiming issue the farther away your target is. For me, a gun shape isn't subtle enough which is why I prefer a hand held but on a bike, I can understand why you would need something you could palm and grip in a hurry. Thanks for this wonderfully informative video!
This gun is great! I just had to use it two days ago. A guy came to my camp to assault me. Worked great! Got it all on camera. Buying a couple more. Video is on my channel if interested in seeing the gun in action.
Your best off just carrying your S&W all the time no need for the spray it might be good for someone that can't carry maybe like under age that can't carry a gun yet or for dogs when you are out biking or out for a walk but I always carry my gun everywhere.
I've always wondered if the pepper potency expires vs. just the propellant. I had an old plastic canister spray that still spewed 10 feet after 10 years, but I didn't test the potency of the pepper.
I got one that looks just like a real gun. I wore it like a real gun on my hip & a manager of a gas station immediately ran out the second he saw it when I was walking outside his gas station. I wore it hoping people would be like "oh shit, they got a gun! Don't fuck with them!" I WAS WRONG!!!!!!! You will freak some people out & how you wear it could get you attacked or (ironically) get shot. If you're going to carry even a fake gun, ask a professional how to do it correctly, safely & legally. It's not as easy as you think. I'm lucky I wasn't tackled from behind. A few people standing outside stared & laughed when I walked by but then looked at each other & suddenly ran into their car & sped off "just in case it was a real gun". They acted tough & tried to look like they were mocking me but the second I turned my back they got the hell outa there. I don't want to scare innocent people, I just want people to know that they shouldn't mess with even the short people. But I did the opposite, I made 4 perfectly innocent strangers just innocently standing around & having a good time, fear for their lives. NOT what I wanted. 😔 I don't want to look like a fuckin bully. If you want to carry a real gun, fake gun, taser or even a little mace gun, go into a gun shop & ask the staff how to safely & legally carry a gun in a way that won't scare everyone. It's awkward but they will probably show you. & it's not their job but most will have no problem teaching you.
I have no idea what UT laws are regarding this device. It would not be wise for me to give out any legal advice. You might want to search Google and maybe event contact a defense attorney. Best of luck!
If you reach in your pocket for anything at the wrong time while dealing with police it can get you killed. If it looks like a can of pepper spray or a small flare gun isn't relevant.
I agree with the thoughts a about this looking like a fire arm and escalation of fight to a potential lethal one. but that range is pretty awesome... as a gun guy though.. I personally would not shoot some one who maced me but I would be as fast as possible to be the first to shoot if I thought it was a real gun that may take me face off....
I hope that's what your not counting your life's safety with that, because as a former marine and a current weapons trainer who has worked(trained) with several people such as Chris costa, Travis Haley, and Kyle Lamb they have and so as I said that not all advisories that you will meet will react to pepper spray. My brother used to be a police officer and one time when he was on duty he had to use pepper spray in order to stop a threat. However the advisory did not react ( he infact got angrier and more violent)thus my brother had to stop the threat by using a lethal round. So please do not count on pepper spray as your go to saving life situation.
+Shooter Ready I think you meant "adversary". The video is just an unboxing and demonstration. I didn't make any points other than to show the product. If I had my way, everyone would be allowed to carry whatever they wanted to protect themselves.
+Shooter Ready I always count on my hands but i also have the same exact mace.I never had a chance to use it,thanks God but if i have to,do you think the pepper gas or whatever inside there,will work or there are choices from the pepper stuff than this one?
+Shooter Ready As a 4.0 private investigation certified and soon to be licensed fugitive recovery agent. I've learned pepper spray is an absolute life saver. If you're a Marine I'm sure you've been hit with pepper spray or tear gas in some shape or form before. Not fun stuff. Pepper spray is one of the leading self defense products that has stopped muggings and rapes more than any other "LESS THAN LETHAL" self defense products. Even if the adversary doesn't react, it forces the eyes to close whether the person wants them to or not blindfolding them and making breathing difficult which means less oxygen to the muscles, therefore weakening their strength. Even if not, not all of us can drop 1K on a pistol. It's only $50 for one of these things at my local gun shop. Not to mention, you can use these whenever a threat is present including unarmed threats. You can't go smoke checking people who try to beat you up unless you feel you're seriously going to die. Even then, the defendants attorney will give you one hell of a time in court.
Shooter Ready That's very true, but there are options to counter wind currents such as gel spray. Which is much more accurate than regular spray and prevents bystanders from getting hit with it.
I'm not sure where to begin… Why would I pull this on an undercover cop? Is an undercover cop mugging me? Your logic makes no sense. Further, I'm in Los Angeles county of California. Most here don't have carry permits. This is about as close as I can get as a defensive item. Having the range of the pepper gun is preferred over a knife or cane for defense in many cases. Don't be so negative. Stupid? Really?
Was gunna get my wife a derringer, but she'd hesitate to use it. At least she would actually use one of these. I will spray paint it orange so it doesn't look like a real gun though.

I think it's a great Secondary LTL weapon. The pencil stream is strong and accurate and I can use it without hesitation for possibly being charged with Murder. If they blind side me and use it against me, I'm still going home. Thumbs up from the streets of Detroit.
Does this really work? Is it better than the saber red gun?
One piece of advice, don't use the mace gun in strong wind.
It may back fire on your face.
+Wisely Go I only use it in front of a insanely powerful fan blowing directly back at me.
I applaud you for this as many people like the one above seem to enjoy the destruction of life. Pepper spray/Tasers are or should be first use if one cannot disengage a violent situation. This also helps insulate you better from lawsuits but most important gives piece of mind one did all they could to prevent disaster.
Yeah, every demonstration video I have seen with the pepper blaster has someone shooting the first shot in a wild direction because aiming is a bit tough.
on the other side the neighbour on the deckchair is crushing the wall oneself :)
From your neighbors point of view:
Wow! What a beautiful day, I thnk I'll go pull the weeds by our wall-fence..
La la la la- Oh look its our neighbor, I wonder what hes up-
OHHH GOD WHAT THE FUCK MY FACE WHY WHYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!? IT HURTS IT HURTS!
+Jake LOL, the wall backs up to a road, but I like you're hypothetical example better!
cool man
Fox pepper spray has 5 million SHU and Vexor has 15 million, both of these sprays are like an A-bomb when used. I have received back blast from both and was hating life when it happened. thanks for the vid btw!
nice Smith & Wesson by the way is at 3.57 or 38. special
.38
" pull it hard"
" i am pulling it hard"
"let it all shoot"
+gooni goo goo what can I say. I've got a heavy trigger pull.
ha ha ha :)))))) did you hear yourself saying that :)) too funny..just kidding about first comment
+gooni goo goo no problem bro. I don't take things to seriously. 🍻
These are indeed good, though if you point something that looks like a gun in a tense situation and the assailant has a "real" gun, you made a big mistake.
***** You don't pull this to "point" it. You pull it to shoot it immediately. This isn't an imitation weapon or some kind of stand-off thing.
As soon as she said like those water guns ... SUBBED!
lol
great review! This is an overlooked option that everyone should have.
Keep in mind the Tueller drill when preparing yourselves for a self defense scenario. Anyone less than 21 feet/7yds can get a drop on you in seconds. It's further than you would think.
Has anyone tried practicing deploying the real thing to know what to expect when you get the pepper on you too? Not saying shoot your self in the face, but have an idea what over spray feels like?
I imagine the light is good to get the assailants eyes open and looking directly at the barrel, I could be wrong though.
Try to change the LED for a more powerful one. Radio Shack have them.
I was going to say, as practical as the design is, I am leery of people freaking out and thinking you have a gun if they just saw the handle. I would not worry about it too much where I am because PA has open carry, so even if people think you have a gun, it's not a big deal.
nothing beats a real one. Glad I live in a open carry state
V.2 gun just came out, it's pretty nice looking
I have tried Cold Steel back in 09 (working security), the guy was on fire for 2 hrs even after being doused with over 2 gallons of cold water. I have had both Cold Steel, Fox get on me, it truly sucks. Vexor, is super fierce and a guy that used to be a chemical guy at the prison thought he would be cute and huff some Vexor, it kicked his arse
i have one gonna order another love it such a long range. easy to use
This seems like a really bad idea to me. You do not want people confusing a "less than lethal" weapon with a gun, whether it be an armed bystander trying to help, a cop just pulling up to a situation who doesn't know who the players are yet, or a bad guy who perhaps has a gun but hasn't put it in to play.There is a reason Tazers are bright yellow. This is a good way to get yourself shot when you pull out your pepper spray.. and other than the "cool factor" it really offers no real advantages to a regular can of pepper spray.
thats why i live in Arizona
Outstanding review thank you sir
Thanks for making this video! It looks kinda big to carry around in the front pocket of my jeans, but maybe a pair of cargo pants at Walmart would work 'cause those have big, loose front pockets. Again, thanks!
I tried to protect myself during a beach walk and I could see how the wind sends it backwards
Which is better... this model or the Mace Brand Pepper Spray Gun 2.0?
I bought one of these a couple years ago when they first came out, but they are illegal here in Hawaii because it looks like a gun, lol.
I now carry the 3oz Fox Labs 5.3 Million SHU pepper spray with the green identification dye in it myself.
Wow, illegal in Hawaii? That is kind of ridiculous.
Yeah, I thought so too, lol. Commie state.
That's a pretty heavy stream. Can it knock someone out?
I really like your review and seeing the inert spray is helpful. It seems pretty straightforward to use but I see where the inert spray could perfect aim and give you familiarity with the trigger pressure, etc. Tell me, does the real pepper spray have a dye in it to mark an attacker? I had one that also sprayed a bright pink ink which I liked. It was expired and I recently just bought another one. It is just a small hand held canister but would be awfully helpful for roaming dogs, and/or assailants up to 10 feet. I prefer a farther spraying one but honestly there's an aiming issue the farther away your target is. For me, a gun shape isn't subtle enough which is why I prefer a hand held but on a bike, I can understand why you would need something you could palm and grip in a hurry. Thanks for this wonderfully informative video!
This gun is great! I just had to use it two days ago. A guy came to my camp to assault me. Worked great! Got it all on camera. Buying a couple more. Video is on my channel if interested in seeing the gun in action.
Reminds me of the cop that mistook her gun for her taser and capped a fool by mistake. A different form factor is probably a good idea.
Id change that led out for a laser light
Brent S how do u do that?
They gave my wife the pink model and I they sell a bright silver one too. Might help get rid of that "gun" look.
Your best off just carrying your S&W all the time no need for the spray it might be good for someone that can't carry maybe like under age that can't carry a gun yet or for dogs when you are out biking or out for a walk but I always carry my gun everywhere.
I've always wondered if the pepper potency expires vs. just the propellant. I had an old plastic canister spray that still spewed 10 feet after 10 years, but I didn't test the potency of the pepper.
how many squirt bursts can you get before it runs out?
Is the release the same as the safety?
Nope.
I just bought one from Amazon, and tried to operate it with the water cartridge, but it does not work????? What am I doing wrong?
Squeeze hard.
I will always prefer my pepper spray in the 357Magnum flavor.
I think the LED should be replaced with LEAD. Other then that, great review! 👍🏽
Hah. yes!
I got one that looks just like a real gun. I wore it like a real gun on my hip & a manager of a gas station immediately ran out the second he saw it when I was walking outside his gas station. I wore it hoping people would be like "oh shit, they got a gun! Don't fuck with them!"
I WAS WRONG!!!!!!! You will freak some people out & how you wear it could get you attacked or (ironically) get shot. If you're going to carry even a fake gun, ask a professional how to do it correctly, safely & legally. It's not as easy as you think. I'm lucky I wasn't tackled from behind.
A few people standing outside stared & laughed when I walked by but then looked at each other & suddenly ran into their car & sped off "just in case it was a real gun". They acted tough & tried to look like they were mocking me but the second I turned my back they got the hell outa there. I don't want to scare innocent people, I just want people to know that they shouldn't mess with even the short people. But I did the opposite, I made 4 perfectly innocent strangers just innocently standing around & having a good time, fear for their lives. NOT what I wanted. 😔 I don't want to look like a fuckin bully. If you want to carry a real gun, fake gun, taser or even a little mace gun, go into a gun shop & ask the staff how to safely & legally carry a gun in a way that won't scare everyone. It's awkward but they will probably show you. & it's not their job but most will have no problem teaching you.
Love this
@hoshnasi Can you fill the pepper canister with another pepper spray after you empty it.I mean using fox 5.3 pepper spray in this gun?
I doubt it
There is a person on the other side of that wall who just had a bad day.
Lol, I was using the inert charge.
very good info. Thank you
I have one I like it it easy to carry has nice range it goes everywhere I go on my belt on right side nice and concealed under my shirt🤘
I'm underage and in today's society, I feel that this is a good investment for me. Is it legal for me to carry this in my state? (Utah)
I have no idea what UT laws are regarding this device. It would not be wise for me to give out any legal advice. You might want to search Google and maybe event contact a defense attorney.
Best of luck!

gooni goo goo
it comes in pink lol, if that helps
If you reach in your pocket for anything at the wrong time while dealing with police it can get you killed. If it looks like a can of pepper spray or a small flare gun isn't relevant.
I agree with the thoughts a about this looking like a fire arm and escalation of fight to a potential lethal one. but that range is pretty awesome... as a gun guy though.. I personally would not shoot some one who maced me but I would be as fast as possible to be the first to shoot if I thought it was a real gun that may take me face off....
thumbs up on the video kind sir!!!
it reminds me of a flare gun
I hope you have the S&W as a back up.
This is why I cary a glock 23, I don't have to reload after three shots. Not to mention the fact they wont get back up.
Alex Michaud I support CCW. For those that live in less-free states pepper spray is something that might work if needed.
hoshnasi itd be time to move my brother
Chad Gatter not everyone has the luxury of moving states just to be safe
alexandra xx you're *
Strike Eagle this is also why you will be in prison for murder one day, for that exact reason smdh
Cool looking but I would hate to see someone get shot/killed by someone else mistaking it for a real gun (at a fair distance) once it's pull out.
I hope that's what your not counting your life's safety with that, because as a former marine and a current weapons trainer who has worked(trained) with several people such as Chris costa, Travis Haley, and Kyle Lamb they have and so as I said that not all advisories that you will meet will react to pepper spray. My brother used to be a police officer and one time when he was on duty he had to use pepper spray in order to stop a threat. However the advisory did not react ( he infact got angrier and more violent)thus my brother had to stop the threat by using a lethal round. So please do not count on pepper spray as your go to saving life situation.
+Shooter Ready I think you meant "adversary". The video is just an unboxing and demonstration. I didn't make any points other than to show the product. If I had my way, everyone would be allowed to carry whatever they wanted to protect themselves.
+Shooter Ready I always count on my hands but i also have the same exact mace.I never had a chance to use it,thanks God but if i have to,do you think the pepper gas or whatever inside there,will work or there are choices from the pepper stuff than this one?
+Shooter Ready
As a 4.0 private investigation certified and soon to be licensed fugitive recovery agent. I've learned pepper spray is an absolute life saver. If you're a Marine I'm sure you've been hit with pepper spray or tear gas in some shape or form before. Not fun stuff. Pepper spray is one of the leading self defense products that has stopped muggings and rapes more than any other "LESS THAN LETHAL" self defense products. Even if the adversary doesn't react, it forces the eyes to close whether the person wants them to or not blindfolding them and making breathing difficult which means less oxygen to the muscles, therefore weakening their strength. Even if not, not all of us can drop 1K on a pistol. It's only $50 for one of these things at my local gun shop. Not to mention, you can use these whenever a threat is present including unarmed threats. You can't go smoke checking people who try to beat you up unless you feel you're seriously going to die. Even then, the defendants attorney will give you one hell of a time in court.
true, but theres still one thing tht turns me off on spray, wind currents. What are your thinkings on that sir?
Shooter Ready
That's very true, but there are options to counter wind currents such as gel spray. Which is much more accurate than regular spray and prevents bystanders from getting hit with it.
To be fair, If I had a ccw I would carry a handgun and no get off killing anyone. Until then, pepper spray is an option.
Where can I buy it
I'm not sure where to begin… Why would I pull this on an undercover cop? Is an undercover cop mugging me?
Your logic makes no sense.
Further, I'm in Los Angeles county of California. Most here don't have carry permits. This is about as close as I can get as a defensive item. Having the range of the pepper gun is preferred over a knife or cane for defense in many cases.
Don't be so negative. Stupid? Really?
Was gunna get my wife a derringer, but she'd hesitate to use it. At least she would actually use one of these. I will spray paint it orange so it doesn't look like a real gun though.
The led is to blind the person so they don't grab it from you
Nicholas Holland No one would be blinded by that light
Kimber PEPPER BLASTER II vs mace pepper gun?
Well done, Hoshnasi. Stay safe.
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for the review. Do you know how long a loaded cartridge could remain effective without being used?
Giustino Del Guercio I’ve had a cartridge for goin on 2-3 years and it expires this year June
