Many of you have stated that you have seen people sprayed with a WHOLE can of O/C and it had no effect on them.
REMEMBER this "LESS IS MORE".
It is the Pepper in O/C that causes the effects you desire and it must be DRY! The more you spray and the closer you are when you spray the less effect it will have on the attacker. That is why the distance recommended is 4 to 6 feet and you are told to use SHORT 1 SECOND bursts. It allows the O/C to dry in the air and settle as it makes contact with the attacker.
Think of it as a stepping side kick. If don't chamber your knee, drive thru the target turn your hip over and land it on a major target, is it the kick that failed or the person using it? The same applies for O/C.......Thanks Bob Handegan O/C instructor/Defensive tactics
