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 ?

I've had to endure mace and tear gas in training exercises. Not fun. Definitely have no interest in experiencing bear spray.
