pepper spray Effective Deterrant

A pepper-spray projectile, also called a pepper-spray ball or pepper-spray pellet, is a projectile weapon made up of a powdered chemical that irritates eyes and nose (see best pepper spray). These non-lethal weapons launch a fragile ball which breaks upon impact and releases an extremely effective super irritant, a powder called PAVA (capsaicin II) pepper. The launchers are often slightly modified .68 caliber paintball guns. Most of these guns are Tippmann pro-carbines or similar and are set to fire in the 350fps range. The systems are generally contact safe and target accurate within 60 feet and has an effective range that provides area saturation with PAVA within a 200 foot range.

Pepper-spray weapons systems are used by law enforcement, military and other organizations, and individuals. The weapon is used generally in the role of stand-off weapons, where physical proximity to a suspect is deemed dangerous but deadly force is not warranted.The systems are not limited to classic standoff situations and allow agents to apply as many rounds as required to bring individual suspects, multiple suspects, or crowds into compliance.
