First, no I didn't just spray myself.
My wife & I carry FoxLabs Sabre in the keychain size. I choose this because its mixed with CS and having been through the gas house back in '74 when I enlisted, I know first hand what the effects of CS are.
I also picked up the inert training spray. If the real thing sprays like the trainer I have several concerns.
1. Advertised effective range is eight feet.
Observation: Not quite so far.
Are there any similar sized containers with a bit more reach ?
Seems to me eight feet is far too close.
2. Disbursal pattern, this stuff lets random drops fly off underneath and to the sides.
Would a gel based spray be more effective ?
My concern here is with wind drift or a random splatter hitting myself or worse, my spouse if either of us needs to deploy this spray. this leads to...
3. What is the best decontamination method ?
Sooner or later it's gonna be needed. I've found several varites of decontamination wipes / sprays available but does one work better than the others ?
IIRC decon for CS was "turn and face into the wind" - at least that's what we were told to do. Wouldn't water only enhance the burning sensation associated with CS ?
