Mace Baton Use As Your Personal Weapon
Mace batons are compact self-defense weapons that are quick and easy to use. Just make sure you’ve got your target in sight and no more than five feet away!
Although the words Mace baton calls into mind the steel batons commonly used by law enforcement officers, a Mace baton is actually much smaller than that but just as effective. It’s the perfect self-defense weapon because it’s easy to conceal, simple to use, and very, very powerful.
How to Maximize Use of Your Mace Baton
This product works just like any pepper spray can. Every squeeze releases a burst of pepper spray. Of course, if you want to disarm your offender with just one squeeze, you’ll need to do a bit more than that.
Know the limit of your pepper spray weapon
Under or overestimating the number of sprays that your weapon can discharge could be the greatest mistake you could make. It could make you overconfident or hesitate at the worst possible moment.
For this product, it’s important to remember that your self-defense weapon of choice is capable of releasing six half-second bursts and nothing more or less than that.
Know the spray pattern of your pepper spray baton
Pepper sprays are different from pepper foams and pepper gels and as such, they have an equally different effect from the other two.
Now, two types of spray patterns may be used by pepper spray cans. The Mace baton, for instance, uses a cone spray pattern. Compared to a stream spray pattern, the cone spray pattern has a shorter reach – approximately five feet. If you use your Mace baton and you’re standing more than five feet away from your offender, your attack would be rendered useless.
On the other hand, a cone spray pattern doesn’t require you to have an excellent aim. As long as you point your Mace pepper spray in the general direction of your target, that would be enough. With stream spray, you would have to take its narrow form in consideration and thus make sure that you have excellent aim.
Do not use your Mace baton without thought. Letting fear and anxiety get the better of you could make your hand unsteady and your aim more inaccurate than usual.
Avoid spraying against the wind
If possible, avoid using the Mace baton if there’s any wind at all. If the wind is traveling towards you, this could cause your pepper spray to reverse direction and hit you instead. Just to play it safe, remember to cover your eyes and face – wear sunglasses if possible – when you spray.
