Re: Spraying Mace...
The rules for attacking have been pointed out (High-Tech, p. 180). The rules for effects are negotiable . . . I'd use those for proper self-defense spray, starting the roll at HT-2 and flipping modifiers for equipment quality (p. B345) to turn them into modifiers to the target's HT rolls. Thus, the TL8 spray would get its HT-4 from the +2 for being fine (becomes -2), while random spray off the bathroom shelf would give full HT from the -2 for being improvised (becomes +2).

Re: Spraying Mace...
Mace and tasers are both written up in GURPS with unrealistic pro-resistance effects. Both are completely effective regardless of your fitness level, but gurps loves to give resistance rolls whether its realistic or genre appropriate.

Re: Spraying Mace...
Really. No one ever fails to be incapacitated by mace or by taser?

Re: Spraying Mace...
You can definitely fight with pepper spray exposure. I have seen it, and more-or-less did it. I've also done calisthenics and push-ups after CS exposure.

* Everyone meets "Bubba" eventually, he's that guy that's taller than you by a foot, meaner then you are by half, and weighs at least x1.5 to x2 times what you do. In my case, "Bubba" was a 450 lb. 7'6" Somaon who really wanted a bag of cheetos from an area that I was guarding and wasn't open to the public at the time. Not only did he ignore being tased, but he proceeded to lick the pepper spray I shot in his face while beating the living hell out of me. When I woke up next it was in a hospital and my boss informed me that they'd caught the guy and asked if I wanted to press charges. I asked to speak to him and apparently I'd been the last straw in a series of straws. I didn't press charges and "Bubba" got himself together, paid my medical bills, and left me a bag of cheetos in thanks. He's working up in Alaska somewheres (I haven't heard from him in years). ** One of the requirements in my state for using a TASER is having one used on you - or at least it was when I got my P.I./Armed Security license.

Re: Spraying Mace...
CC Investigations! No job is too small, no fee is too big! (I'm actually good with fire-houses and beanbag rounds. They hurt, but all they do is irk me off or get me wet. Again, in VA, for non-lethal means you need to experience them to considered to be proficient in them. My training guy was like "We need you on our SWAT team...oohhhh you asthma. Damn!" Teargas exposure sucked, but I got through it mostly intact).
