Pepper Gun Spray is common to see in movies, when a woman grabs pepper spray and uses it to spray on their attacker’s face, rendering the attacker clutching his face, and staggering to the ground, helpless.

Pepper spray is also known as oleoresin capsicum, a sort of oil that produces tears when sprayed directly on the face. The element responsible for the heat, pain, and momentary blindness is the capsicum present in the spray, which is a chemical commonly found in peppers. Police force also carries pepper spray to attack off dangerous criminals if they do not cooperate and try to resist arrest.

IS PEPPER SPRAY DIFFERENT FROM MACE?

It is possible that you have heard of pepper spray and mace. While the two are similar, the names are not interchangeable.

Pepper spray is a powerful inflammatory spray that irritates the eyes by dilating the capillaries. Chemical Mace is also a spray but works more like tear gas, and does not produce the desired or exact results as a pepper spray gun. Mace and pepper spray are two separate formulas or products.
