TEAR GAS AND PEPPER SPRAY are two distinct types of less-lethal chemical irritants. Tear Gas (CS/CN) is a synthetic compound that affects mucous membranes, causing tearing and respiratory distress. Pepper Spray (OC – Oleoresin Capsicum) is a natural derivative of chili peppers that causes an intense burning sensation on the skin and in the eyes, temporary blindness, and difficulty breathing. Both are used for crowd control, personal defense, and subduing aggressive individuals. While effects are intended to be temporary, proper deployment training and an understanding of their differing chemical actions and toxicological profiles are essential for safe and effective use.

  • Tear Gas (CS/CN): Synthetic, affects respiratory system and eyes, used for area denial.

  • Pepper Spray (OC): Natural inflammatory agent, causes intense burning and temporary blindness, used for point defense.

  • Both are less-lethal options for law enforcement, correctional staff, and civilian self-defense.

  • Deployment methods include handheld canisters, foggers, and launched projectiles.

  • Understanding their differences is key to selecting the right tool for the situation.

  • Proper decontamination procedures (air, water) are required after exposure.

Choose the right chemical tool. Understand and source both Tear Gas and Pepper Spray from Tactical Supply Pakistan for controlled effect.
