Sub: COBRA – Self-Defense Pepper Sprays

Dear Sir
We are a Bangalore-based SSI, in the line of manufacturing a range of industrial aerosol products.

We all understand & appreciate the fact that the police force & other law enforcement agencies across the country are understaffed & have limited resources & as such unable to provide 24/7(round the clock) protection to all the citizens, & as such viloent crimes are increasing at a very high rate.

For the past two years, we have been developing unique consumer aerosol products, which are otherwise not available in India. We are now proud to launch COBRA – a self-defense pepper spray (actual size 1"dia x 4"hight, for graphic illustration,pls view attachment).


This product ,though new to India is extensively used by consumers, particularly women and law enforcement agencies all over the world ,who find it one of the cheapest and most effective self-defense tools.

COBRA sprays a high-irritant chilly extract that causes severe burning sensation (to exposed skin)& temporary blindness alongwith restricted breathing in an attacker, thus giving the user time to get away from a (life)threatening situation. The effects of the pepper spray last for 30 to 45 minutes & have no known permanent side effects .

In case you require any further details, pls contact teh undersigned.


Thanking you,

Regards

Rana Singh

"O.C" is the extract from the Chili, O.C is what is responsible for making chilies HOT.

3) How effective is "COBRA"/ what are the effects?

When sprayed with COBRA, the immediate effect is of severe burning sensation in the eyes (thus shutting them), apart from this the liquid also penetrates the skin pores & creates a burning sensation from within, also the spray causes very heavy irritation in the MUCUS membrane inside the nasal cavity, the over all effect of these factors renders the person completely helpless & in very high degree of pain & burning.

4) How long does it take to effect the inflicted person?

The effect is immediate & on contact.( tear gas takes 15-20 seconds to take effect)


5) How long do the effects last?

For the complete effects to wear off takes upto 2- 3 hrs, however the maximum effect is for upto 45 – 60 mnts when the person is completely helpless & in a very high degree of pain & discomfort.


6) Does it have any permanent effects?

"COBRA" has no permanent effects, the initial 2- 3 hrs of high discomfort & pain is the only effect.

7) Is this an "ARM"?

Yes, "COBRA" is an "ARM". ----Under the "ARMS" act, anything made or designed for the specific purpose of Defence or Offence & machinery used to manufacture the same fall under the category of "ARMS", by this definition even a wooden pole made for the reason of attacking or defending is an "ARM", however if the same is used for agriculture purpose it is not labeled as an "ARM".


8) Is a license required to carry this on person?

Under the ‘ARMS" act, license is required only for "Fire Arms"(containing gun powder & explosive ingredients), hence no license is required for "COBRA"

9) Is it difficult to operate?

"COBRA" has been specifically designed keeping in mind that this is going to be used when the person is under attack & probably one of the hands is already busy in warding off the attacker, hence COBRA has been designed for simple & single hand "draw & fire" action.

10) Does one need to target practice to use this effectively?

All a person needs to do is, aim in the general direction of the face of the attacker & press down the nozzle. This is as easy to use as a "CAN" of room freshener or perfume spray.

Under the law SELF-DEFENCE is permitted.(under IPA sections 96,97,102,105&106)

12) In case of accidental contact/ discharge, what is the remedy?

In case of accidental contact or discharge, do not rub the area of contact. As this will only aggrivate the situation, the only remedy for this is to flush with running water, effects wear off after some time.

13) In a nutshell, how strong is "COBRA"?

In a nutshell, "COBRA" is at least 10 times stronger/ hotter than the chili powder used in our kitchen everyday.

14) What is the range of "COBRA" spray?

"COBRA"has been designed to emit / discharge a "cloud pattern"spray effective upto 6 ft.

15)How much should one spray on an individual?

Usually a half second burst is enough, however if the suspect is under the influence of DRUGS or ALCOHOL (which increase the resistance to pain) keep the nozzle pressed down, till the desired effect is achieved.

How long does "COBRA" last, when fired continuously?
"COBRA" has a high emission rate, the container empties out in 9 seconds when fired continuously (usually a half second burst is enough to put down an individual)

17. Has The Police department approved this product?

"COBRA" is a direct outcome of statments made to press by the Bangalore Commissioner of Police ,H.T Sangaliana & he has himself tested & approved this product
