1) When the weather is below freezing the effectiveness of your OC is diminished. In fact the colder it gets the less effective it becomes-I have sprayed suspects in single digit weather conditions and it has had no effect until they were transported to a heated environment.

2) I see you bought the stream and that is good! Fog is horrible. I have rolled through an OC cloud fighting a suspect more times than I care to mention. Just be aware that when you deploy OC it does not discriminate between sprayer and sprayee!
GP, Thank you for the information. It is good to know about the OC.

longrange...Thank You for the "head's up!"
