or even something like a baton. I think the best thing less than the pistol is the chemicals. I'd really like to have an CO2 powered OC pistol. You could make it so small, nice and flat, and a lot more powerful and aimable than a normal pepperspray can. Then you could make a duckfoot model. But I'd have mine set up slightly radial off parallel with about 5 jets. 1 at point of aim, the others slightly to the sides with 2 above and 2 below, kind of like a GSSF Glock-M pattern. It would be even cooler if you could load something like a magazine with more CO2 and spray. But I think posture, awareness, and forceful vocals are most useful defense. A few times people have thought about messing with me but when they saw how aware of them and assertive I was they went away. If they didn't respond to that immediately the pistol would have came out.
