It has lower oleoresin capsicum content than human spray. I’d guess that’s offset to a large extent by the far greater quantity and greater range. And the fact that you’re firing a bear or man encompassing cloud, not trying to his a forehead. And marking your assailant orange. But the canisters are big, and could be more difficult to deploy in close contact. You’d be in the cloud as well. Don’t know about wasp or oven spray, I can see where that could be a problem. Fortunately when traveling where all these things are illegal, I usually carry my wife’s hair spray for her. Again unprofessionally, intent can be anything. If you are carrying bear spray for defensive use on humans, that could be a problem. I only carry it for bears.
When I went to youtube & wrote in “pepper spray” I found a vid of the spray you describe being used in a riot. Large cannister and abundant wide spray which colored the rioter’s face orange.
He advances menacingly on police shouting “I’m right here!!” and then his entire face is whooshed with orange spray & lots of it. Instead of screaming or cursing, the orange faced rioter is strangely subdued; he stands there quietly until pulled to the pavement by his dreadlocks. Afterward he is cuffed & carried off like overstuffed luggage.
You had mentioned that bear spray has less capsicum; maybe that explains the rioter’s silent acquiescence.
