Hm, i was wondering which one to get for some "self defence".

I can handle myself against an attacker but if theres like 2 of them or its some huge insane dude i want to be ready. I was gonna get something a little more extreme but most of my ideas were not legal =S

Anyways, my best choices for self defence that are legal are Bear Mace and Pepper Spray

I hear that Bear mace is a little stronger but useless against people under drugs (hence why police use pepper spray) but am not sure to use

Which one do u think i should use?

Bear mace is better. It shoots up to like 30 ft away and it is more potent. But either one will mess someone up pretty badly. I would go with the bear mace due to the effective range.

Bear mace for range damage and a "$1.98" for melee

$1.98 is a bottle filled with cement and a metal stick sticking out as the handle

A Chainsaw Rocket Launcher and a Rawk Rifle work well against large groups.

Why not dual wield both bear mace and pepper spray? And why can't someone out there just combine the two?

Bear Mace is the same as pepper spray (capsicum), it is just designed to shoot a longer distance from the device.

Probably because Bear Spray makes it sound like it sprays bears and Pepper Mace sounds wimpy.

Mace is a brand. If you're gonna call one Mace you might as well call the other Def-tec or ASP or whatever other brand name you can find. But CS sprays are rightfully refered to as mace since Mace was th first and is the most commonly used CS spray.

There's no reason to use bear mace on a person. Being that it's CS and it's designed to incapacitate a bear it would probably kill a person.

I prefer CS over OC any day. Capsicum is just capsicum but CS will take anyone down because that stuff shuts you down while pepper spray just burns.

I think you are confusing bear pepper with riot pepper. Riot pepper comes in a large canister that looks a paint gun and it has far more range than the smaller canisters.

Bear pepper is just a higher percentage of capsicum than what is sold on the civilian market for self-defense. There is person pepper spray that is like 20%-30% and great capsicum but it's not commonly used plus it's restricted. So really they just call it bear spray to tell you that they made it for you to use on a bear or other wild animal. The have found 10% to be more than enough on a human. I remember just getting some residue from the box they game in and not being able to breath well. So I'm sure if a person inhales enough of that stuff they could suffocate.

They've been making 5.5% because 10% has been lethal in the past so nobody wants the liability. Also another reason why they makes streams, gels and foams now. So this way you can get their eyes without the risk of them inhaling too much.

The propper way to use Pepper Spray is to get up close and spray their eyes like your spray painting a wall. But people that don't practice using it don't do it. They spray here and there then run around franticly.
