saw something about this a year or 2 ago. has about a 7 foot radius of spray

good idea, but also bad. good because it has range, bad cos it can still blind

This is just like a paintball, only when it breaks you get pepper spray or something similar, cs maybe.?

yeah, its a hard shelled paintball (like an egg type shell) and when it hits, the gas comes out in a cloud

edit:
its pepper spray inside. ive seen them being shot from those PT pistol things too

Who needs pepper spray or cs?.....one or two hits in the face with a paintball would actually cause blindness/death....that's why we wear face masks????
