Guys as far as I got the hang of it you are pretty much moralizing about this human test whether it was allowed or legal or humanly acceptable to shoot to an other person, or whatever.
It is for sure that those self defense gas-alarm guns are designed to not cause permanent injury among normal circumstances meaning no extreme close usage, factory made cartridges etc.
Nevertheless I personally took the risk with full responsibility if any unforeseen thing would have happened.But it was not - fortunately.
From the other hand I guess this test was as close to a real situation as it is possible among imitated conditions. This could work much worse or much better in real life. But I think we have bloody done it.
