Yesterday me and my academy got pepper sprayed and put in the CS gas chamber. Now I have been sprayed with the normal 5% OC spray, and it burns but it\'s no biggie. Yesterday I was sprayed with 18% police grade OC and I thought I was going to die. The tear gas was nothing, it made my eyes water but that was about it, and once I was out of the chamber the pain went away. However, the OC spray hurt immensely for a solid hour. I had to pry my eyes open and run in circles so that I could get a breeze on my eye balls.
Apparently I\'m close to non-reactive to CS gas but highly reactive to pepper spray. All I know is thanks to yesterday if anyone pulls pepper spray on me I will feel justified in shooting them, because if I don\'t they can easily take my weapon from me and kill me, or pull a weapon on me and I wouldn\'t even be able to see it coming.
