I’ve gotten it a couple times (never again, I may be a slow learner, but not that slow!), and given it several. I’ve never seen a good hit result in anything but locking up, screaming, and falling.
Taser's not so bad. Mainly because as soon as it's off, you are pretty much ok. Hurts for a few seconds... then done.
Now OC... pepper spray. That shit is horrible. Nasty. Incredible eye pain... breathing... fucked me up for a couple of days. We had to get sprayed -- right in the eyes -- then do retenton drills, armbar takedown and cuffing drills for several minutes before we got rinsed. Just to prove to 'ourselves?' that we could function if we got sprayed or blowback. That sucked. I mean sucked... CS was like aromatherapy compared to OC. Fuck that OC shit...
