I was hesitant to keep the Wildfire pepper spray I got from Sammy. My best buddy swore this was more reliable at repelling attackers, and he spoke from experience. While it is non-lethal just like all self defense sprays, its effects are obviously much more intense.
The eyes respond first once exposed to pepper spray. This clamps shut due to pain. A burning experience on the skin adds to the discomfort. Breathing is affected, resulting in uncontrollable coughing. All these are momentary reactions, and wear off within less than an hour. Defense spray does not cause permanent harm.
I did appreciate the size of my own defense spray early on. This is small at 2 ounces and fits within my very own pocket, or my hand if I opt to hold this. That means much better handling when I have to fire the spray.
Even though it consists of just a couple of bursts, a small pepper spray gives the extra advantage of surprising the assailant since it can be concealed easily.
It was the spray strength that concerned me, however Sammy assured me the 18% pepper concentration just meant I could spray less but still get a quicker reaction. The higher the pepper formulation, the stronger the Scoville Heat Units (SHU) rating is.
The SHU is a way of measuring precisely how hot the pepper formulation is. If it is in the millions (2 or 3 million), it's not surprising to hear screams of pain once the pepper grains sink into the skin.
Even though sprayed on coming from a range of 10 to 15 feet, the target is going to feel the complete effects of oleoresin capsicum, and is going to abandon any thoughts of harming you.
I have practiced handling the Wildfire spray, and hope I can become that alert and fast the second I need to make use of it to fight off an opponent. Sammy stated to bear in mind that making use of the spray is intended to provide time so I'm able to go to safety.
