Out of all the non-lethal weapons that are available today, pepper spray is probably the most well-known and popular of them all. It contains oleoresin capsicum, so it is often referred to as OC gas or capsicum spray. Although people use the term “mace” interchangeably with the term “pepper spray,” mace refers to the Mace brand. Mace is the most recognizable brand, but there are plenty of generic options as well.
