Quoted: ever try to hit some moving object while you are moving with a stream oc????

Yes I have, and yes I have sprayed people with it. OC, regardless of pattern, is not a precision weapon. OC starts vaporizing almost immediately after it comes out the nozzle, so cross contamination is a fact of life. A week ago, I sprayed a woman from about three feet away, got her square in the face, and people within five feet of either side were still hacking and yacking from the splatter and vapor. Heck, I was hacking and yacking. It's going to happen.
The point that I (along with METT-T) am trying to make is that one way to reduce that cross-contamination is to go with a stream patter, or at least a very heavy cone like what FoxLabs uses. The finer the spray gets, ie with foggers, the significantly higher the chance of people who you don't necessarily want to get sprayed, getting sprayed.
Whenever I carry OC, I always have a Sudecon wipe in my back pocket. It takes up the same space as a McDonald's napkin, and makes your life much much easier if or when you get OC on yourself.
Woot! 1000th post!
