How come Bear spray is weaker than Pepper spray?

Why do people say bear spray is weaker than the pepper ones I dont get it. When you go buy a bear one they say it is twice as concentrated and 50% stronger than a pepper spray (Nato brand) and it is supposed to bring down a bear so why in a human is less efficient? Why dont use a pepper human spray against a bear then? Can someone explain it to me cuz I am really not following that logic

I almost found myself in that situation and though I'm done.

I've got 2 pepper sprays, one in each hand. Three people are trying to jump me.

What odds do I have?

Country's Poland, btw

Less Lethal 11 Joule any good for home defence?

Hi all,

I recently found some less lethal .50 launchers/guns like those made by Umarex. Unfortunately there is little information online about the actual effectiveness of those tools when it comes to stopping power etc.

Where I live, models are limited to 11 joules and I wonder if such a piece could ever stop an intruder or attacker - some folks posted clips online in which they test these pieces and easily knock out an attacker, others do the same experiment with virtually zero effect on the attacker.

I am curious about your experiences: Do you think these pieces do work? If so, why? Or if you don’t - why?

Looking forward to hear from your experiences.

Thanks in advance.

A scary thing that happened a few years ago

This happened a few years ago, probably around 2021, i originally posted it to a sub for creepy people encounters but it got no traction, probably because there was very little interaction.

​

I was walking through a bit of an alley that connects a square or sort of courtyard with the street (not the stereotypical dark alley but enough of a jack the ripper vibe to get you thinking, especially at night when this took place) as i walked out some guy entered on the right and walked past me (can't really remember him so i can't give a description, but before he walked past me we made eye contact, then laughed and continued on.

​

I know it's not a super scary encounter where violence was threatened (though i have one of them i may post it at some point) but what kind of person laughs at random people on the street? i probably did the right thing by not escalating and walking away from the person, although i do regret not having my head on swivel mode afterwards, after all i have no idea what this guy saw in me or thought of me to make him laugh.

​

MS Paint drawing, the red path is the path the creep took and the green path is me.

​

Also does anyone use body worn video as part of their strategy? these days i often have a few hidden cameras that i like to alternate between, the legality of it is probably a subject within itself but it's fun watching the footage back and then i delete it if nothing happened.

Alternatives to pepper spray bad tasers?

Hi! I’m looking for something for self defense but I’m kind of at a loss for what to do. Everyone’s been telling me pepper spray and tasers but I can’t use pepper spray because I’m severely asthmatic, it could kill me. Taser options are severely limited in my state and the best ones don’t do much other than cause a bit of pain. My mom got one and my brothers tried it to test it out and they both were perfectly capable of continuing what they were doing. A gun isn’t possible because my state does not allow anyone to have a gun or register a gun under the age of 21. Not sure what other options I have that would be easy to carry or keep in my car.

Self defense against group of animals

What is the best defense against a group of pack animals, like dogs or monkeys?

Something that will make them run away and has a long range so I am not putting myself at risk when defending.

Are some newer paintball guns powerful enough and effective in this way that I described?
