When it comes to personal safety, maximizing distance/range, increases your safety. Easy and safe to use, the launcher's impressive reach allows protection for you and your loved ones at a very safe distance (up to 175'/53m). The greater the distance the greater your opportunity to escape. The projectiles will break on contact up to 175' (53 m) creating a pepper cloud 6' (2 m) in diameter. The area will become saturated with red pepper powder helping to deter the threat.
