In regards to the irritant OC agent used, we rely on a trusted formula and years of experience in testing. Capsaicin has proven to be the most reliable irritant agent when used against assailants under the influence of drugs or alcohol as well as against animals. To be able to make a reliable statement on the required minimum safety distance we have conducted extensive wound-ballistic tests performed by a trusted and wellknown ballistic expert. If you have questions concerning the safety of our products we are more than happy to provide you additional research information (law enforcement agencies only).
