Description
DPS Black Label Pepper Spray is called X-Stream Tactical Ops for a reason... It drops everybody.
It is a 10+2 OC/CS Blend that was formulated and developed for extreme tactical operations. This brutal mix was initially made for law enforcement and corrections in high threat conditions.
The formulation consists of an evaporate carrier with 10% OC and 2% CS in a full cone or high emission fog pattern. The Physiological effects are extensive. The CS causes acute stress in respiration with coughing, gagging and temporary shortness of breath. The OC has the atypical dermal affect with intensive heat and temporary, involuntary closing of the eyes. This is the ultimate defensive chemical system.
This [fogger] is a "cone" pattern spray. It atomizes into billions of particles and has a reach of 8-10'. With any cone formula there is risk of contamination and blow-back and this is why we push the Ballistic Stream pattern above all else. That being said, Black Label by nature is designed to be inhaled. It shuts people down and keeps them down. They can't fight when they can't breath.
The manufacturer knows this first-hand because he was exposed indirectly (on purpose) in a solitary cell while playing an inmate. He had 5 officers trying to get him out and he able to fight them until his partner Tom fired a 1/4 second burst of Black Label into the air. Within 6 or 7 seconds he shut down and they were able to subdue and drag him out of the cell and belt him up. The spray was fired in the air and reached him over 10' away under a bunk and did its job.
The manufacturer can't say enough about the effectiveness of this combination spray. DPS Black Label is recommended for use ONLY in Extreme situations.
That being said, if someone was within your personal zone during a confrontation, hold your breath, spray and get out of there would be my advice.
Prison inmates hate DPS so much that they call it the "Silver Bullet"...its simply that effective. Here is what a consumer had to say about the Black Label variation:
"This new upgraded formula is insane! I can honestly say, after all of my live testing of multiple brands this stuff is seriously superior to anything I have ever seen! Fox, Sabre, Vexor, Def-Tech are all great effective defense sprays but this stuff is like no other. I can't believe it didn't do any real damage...It's like having the heat of Vexor, the instant reaction of Fox, and the serious CS pain of the Defense Technology's OC/CS Gray Band. I call it hell in a can! It is the best pepper spray available hands down."
