Pepperspray or CS-Gas? Pepperspray and CS-Gas are easy to use and effectively, but the pepperspray is even stronger and more effective - therefore it may be used in Germany only for protection against animals. For this reason we still sell you the CS-Gas as an alternative. Both sorts of defence sprays you may only use, if you are 14 years or older. What is pepperspray? Pepperspray contains "Oleoresin Capsicum" or shortened "OC". OC is a natural, environment-friendly and nontoxic agent, made from hot pepper. What is in CS-Gas? The defining component in the CS gas is "O-Chlorobenzylidene Malononitrile". The name "CS" comes from its both discoverer Corson and Stoughton. Widestream or directstream, gel or foam? • Widestream will spray a kind of fog/cloud. It is easier to hit one or more targets in a short distance, even if the target is moving. • Directstream will spray like a liquid stream. These sprays can be used for repelling attackers on a greater distance and the stream is less susceptible to wind. • Gel has nearly the same attributes like a directstream, but is more semifluid. That way it has a long active duration, because it sticks on the skin better than liquid. • Foam is ideal for using inside rooms, because it does not disperse like a widestream. It also sticks on the skin better than liquid, has a long active duration and the affected areas are clearly visible |
