I hit a charging dog with my dog spray (same stuff just a 15 foot streamer)and it dropped like a stone and started running around in a circle with its face in the dirt. I knew how he felt...
I put on a gas mask at a surplus store and felt the burn that I felt in boot camp...again! that stuff is nasty. Imagine yourself in a tent with that stuff cooking on a hot plate in the middle. Its so foggy in there you can barely see the other side of the tent. Now you got your mask already on and your sweating buckets under there until the fully masked instructor tells you to take your mask off and yell your name, your series and your senior Drill Instructors. Then you put it back on, 'don and clear' (like a scuba mask). If you do it right your feeling like your face is on fire but your breathing. If you don't, your coughing tear gas, filling your mask with snot and your on your way out to do it again.
