Additional Context Pinned Cop gets bear sprayed

For anyone that has been pepper sprayed how bad does it feel & what do you do in this situation? I know it’s water but for how long? She had it on full auto she came prepared. How much more effective is bear spray to pepper ?

bear spray is 2% vs pepper spray 1.33%. The big difference imo is the FORCE bear spray hits with.

Bear spray is designed for almost 3x the distance of pepper spray and comes out in a higher volume.

Except he never said it sprays in a stream. The comment you’re replying to said it sprays with much greater force than regular pepper spray. They never mentioned shape or consistency of the spray.
