Pepper Blaster - How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love It

Pepper Blaster - How I Stopped Worrying And Learned To Love It

By:


By now you've probably heard about the Pepper Blaster, by Kimber pepper spray. If you want you can find the reference to the introduction below.

Let's say I want to buy a pepper spray for myself or my daughter, which one should I choose: a can of Mace or the Pepper Blaster?. If you might know a Mace will cost you about $13-$18 while the Pepper Blaster sells for $42-$50.

The answer seems simple: "the Mace is cheaper" but we've just compared apples and oranges. This is why:

Point 1: Under the weather.

Let's see what we've got. Pepper Blaster uses the same active ingredient as Mace does: the OC, Oleoresin Capsicum that is. Long time ago when Mace, the manufacturer, created first defensive products, they used different main ingredients but right now it's mostly the same liquid pepper extract.So they are the same? Nope. Pepper Blaster uses pepper gel versus regular mace canister using pepper spray. Spray is much lighter, and when sprayed from a canister, it is affected by weather factors, like wind or rain.

Blow-backs and self-contamination comes to mind. These are industry terms meaning simply that a gust of wind can divert or even revert the flow of your defensive spray. You can miss your target or get it on yourself. Gels are much tougher to propel but 1 they do not stray from their trajectory because they are heavier and thicker.

Point 2: Stickiness
Pepper gel is not just heavier but also stickier1. Pepper gel glues to the skin of the assailant and is much harder to wash off. It means that the gel from Pepper Blaster will disable your attacker for a longer period of time. If Police gets involved then they also have more time to find the attacker.

# 3: Safer Longer Range
Regular aerosol pepper sprays, including those by Mace, reach as far as 6-8 feet. PepperPepper shoots 13 feet as a straight shot. As you can appreciate when in danger every extra foot between you and the attacker counts.

# 4: Runners and Dodgers
Remember maybe playing with a water squirt gun near the pool? Although the stream from a squirt gun is fast kids could duck it or block it with a hand, or just run away from it. It's the same deal with the stream from an aerosol can. The spray's speed is slow enough for human to see it and react to it by dodging it or avoiding it in some other way.
Not so with the Pepper Blaster. It shoots its charge with 90 mph velocity. One can not see the charge because it is a small transparent blob tht travels with the fast ball speed. So there is no running away, or dodging the shot. The Pepper Blaster wins this one hands down.

Point 5. Speaking of Money
All aerosol based sprays have one big problem: they have their spray inside under pressure at all times. The pressure is necessary to propel the pepper liquid out of the canister. A canister consists of many parts put together so sometimes there is a microscopic, invisible leak develops at the seams. The propellant gas escapes out of the canister from this tiny hole. It's never detected because it is so small but over the course of several months the pressure could be completely depleted. When you press on the release button, the canister just sputters and stains your finger. Zero protection when you need it the most. This happens quite often, so considering such a risk, it is generally recommended to replace your old canister of pepper spray/mace every 10-14 months.
Just replace it, like a battery in the smoke detector. Over the course of 3 years, the running cost of a Mace adds up to $35-$55.
The Pepper Blaster does not have any internal pressure to loose and it just can not leak anything out. It will fire its charge 3 years from now as efficiently as it would do today. So comparing 3 cans of Mace over 3 year period with only one Pepper Blaster scores just about even money wise but with much less hustle and risk. That's a no-brainer - I'd choose the Pepper Blaster.

Whether you dismiss all 5 arguments as biased and over optimistic or agree with them you should buy some self-defense protection for yourself. If you choose to dismiss them then buy a can of mace but if you consider all these points above you will get yourself a very nice dependable safe PepperBlaster.
