I was unwilling to bring the Wildfire pepper spray I received from Sammy. My closest chum swore this was a lot more proficient at repelling enemies, and he talked from experience. While this is non-deadly like all pepper sprays, its effects are apparently far more intense.
The eyes react first once exposed to self defense spray. This clamps shut due to pain. A burning sensation onto the skin contributes to the discomfort. Breathing is affected, resulting in uncontrollable coughing. All these are short-term reactions, and disappear within less than 1 hour. Pepper spray does not bring about long-term harm.
I did appreciate the size of my defense spray in the beginning. This is small at 2 ounces and fits in my own pocket, or my hand if I want to carry this. That means better handling whenever I need to fire the spray.
Although this has just a few bursts, a small pepper spray gives the added advantage of surprising the assailant since it may be concealed easily.
It was the spray strength which concerned me, however Sammy assured me the 18% pepper concentration just meant I could spray much less but still have a faster reaction. The greater the pepper formulation, the more potent the Scoville Heat Units (SHU) rating is.
The SHU is a measure of how hot the pepper formulation is. If it is within the millions (2 or 3 million), it's not unusual to listen to screams of pain once the pepper grains penetrate the skin.
Even if sprayed on from a range of 10 to 15 feet, the target will feel the complete effects of oleoresin capsicum, and is going to drop any thoughts of harming you.
I have trained using the Wildfire defense spray, and wish I can be that alert and swift the minute I have to make use of this to fight off an opponent. Sammy stated to remember that using the spray is designed to buy time so that I can run to safety.
