Should I Use Mace or Pepper Spray?
Summary:
When it comes to self-defense, choosing between Mace and pepper spray can be confusing. Pepper spray, a general term for sprays containing oleoresin capsicum (OC), is designed to incapacitate rather than simply irritate. This makes it effective against individuals immune to pain, such as those under drug influence or highly aggressive.
Body:
Pepper spray refers to any self-defense spray containing oleoresin capsicum, extracted from cayenne or similar peppers. Its primary purpose is to physically incapacitate assailants by forcing their eyes shut and constricting bronchial tubes, making it effective against those impervious to pain.
In contrast, tear gas typically uses CS (orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile) or CN (choroacetophenone) to irritate the eyes, skin, and respiratory system. It relies on causing pain, which makes it less effective against those who don’t feel pain easily.
Mace, once known only for tear gas, now offers a variety of self-defense sprays, including:
- Mace Triple Action: Combines pepper spray, tear gas, and UV dye. The pepper spray incapacitates by affecting sight and breathing, while tear gas induces coughing. The UV dye marks the attacker for easy identification.
- Pepper Mace: Utilizes a 10% oleoresin capsicum solution with UV dye. Though slower to act compared to lower concentrations, its effects can last up to 45 minutes.
- Pepper Foam: Similar to Pepper Mace, but dispensed as foam instead of liquid.
Ultimately, the debate isn’t between Mace and pepper spray, but rather between tear gas and pepper spray. The clear winner for effective self-defense? Pepper spray.
