What about a pepper spray? What happens if you get caught with that? Or if you use it self defense?
I think the 'full on' stuff the police carry is illegal to carry unless you're a PO.
DrP, when you throw them don't forget to ask them to be returned in number order and a suite order of your choice. It throws them even more!

I think once you create any kind of method of spraying a noxious chemical/liquid it becomes a firearm. UK law really does seem to make it illegal for a law abiding citizen to defend themselves with anything other than their bare hands.
There's a red dye spray you can get, it's a bugger to get off and even when you do it still shows up under UV light.
Spray that and leg it!
Edit: it's completely legal in the uk
Pepper spray is self evidently an offensive weapon in is designed to injure or incapacitate, from memory it is also a firearm so double bad .
I've been in enough fights to know that if I have disadvantaged an opponent by dazzling him I'm going to leg it as fast as I can.

Not sure I would agree with you but regardless, the law does view it as a firearm so that'll deter most law abiding citizens from having it.
Infra-sound is (supposed to be) very good for making people feel uneasy without them quite knowing why
yeah - extremely low-frequency sound creates a feeling of nausea and anxiety. It was used in the film 'Irréversible' and people supposedly left the auditorium feeling unwell - although that might have just been the extreme sexual violence in the film
lol @ 'the brown note' ... I'd forgotten about that! 😆
CountZero - I agree that in the right hands a strike bezel is an effective tool. But in the right hands anything can become an effective tool - from a biro to a credit card to a thumb
But in most peoples hands, like my own, it's just an embellishment on a torch
Pepper spray is under the Firearms Act
The Act prohibits any weapon of any description, designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other substance.
PAVA imho is much better than pepper / capsicum spray.
Problem with infra sound/brown note is its not really directional.
