    I see. I bet you get some serious respect if you raise your hand to get the prongs.

    Did you take the full ride? If so, it was the longest 5 seconds of your life wasn't it.

    It lets you know what it's like, so you are more likely to bust it out earlier and more often.

    I'd rather get tazed then pepper spray and darted before the training clips. Been there, done that and got video.

    I've been OC'd a half dozen times or so. I react immediately to it but recover pretty quickly...less than 5 mins. I've never been tazed...don't really want to be tazed.

    +1 for taser. Worst pain but it goes away however the OC doesn't. Although it feels good, washing your face with water only keeps the particles plastered to your face. Your supposed to let it dry and fall off, with a fan. Well I thought I was GTG and took a shower. I screamed bloody murder after it reignited the effects and continued to burn as it ran down south.

    As far as doing it for training, I was incapacitated for the full 5 seconds. I will use that training to justify why I shot somebody with my handgun who had a taser pointed at me. Scenario: bad guy shoots you with taser, runs up and pulls your gun and your done. Hopefully I will never have to face that situation.

    I just heard someone else tell me that as well.

    Got the OC when I was training up for Bosnia because I was on the list for arms room access since I had taken the armorer's course. The MP's convinced us that since we had access to the OC and beanbag rounds we had to know what it was like to be hit by them. So in the course of about 15 minutes I took a beanbag from a 12 gauge to the right thigh and a good dose of OC up the nose because I'm 6' even and the MP who hit me was 5' 2". Found out later it was all a line of by the MP's that we had to do that.

    Then at Drum my 1SG volunteered me for a MP demonstration of a tazer to see if a bigger guy could handle the ride more than a smaller one. I think I just had more muscle mass to clench up on me than the other guy, and it was more weight for the other two MP's to hold as I fell over.

    I got the prongs and.....MOTHER OF GOD. I was seriously scared that when the ride stopped I would crap my pants from the release of tension. I can report that I did not crap my pants!

    OC took me a full 24 hours to recover and I would sign up to ride the lightning any day over the OC. I don't even carry that crap anymore.
