CS defense spray

It should only be used in an emergency

CS gas is used for self-defense because it scares off opponents in a possible attack situation. It can therefore be very helpful, for example, if a person traveling alone suddenly has to defend themselves. The gas is available in the form of sprays or as ammunition for blank-firing pistols.

The right product for the right application

CS gas is available from ASMC in the form of sprays with and without a liquid jet, but it is also offered for blank guns. A spray should always be preferred because it can be carried discreetly. A blank gun attracts attention more easily, even if it is only kept in a handbag. All of our products have a range and spray duration limit and are officially permitted and approved in accordance with the Weapons Act. This means that it can be used for self-defense. However, it must not be aimed at another living being without a serious reason, otherwise injuries may occur. However, if used correctly, it is classified as harmless to health. Important: A so-called "small weapons license" is required to carry a blank gun.

Expert tip: These defense systems should be equipped with liquid jet

When buying, make sure that the spray works with a liquid jet. These sprays ensure that the wind cannot project the gas back onto your body. This is important to prevent yourself from injuring yourself when using irritant spray devices.
