Shop Pepper Guns for Non-Lethal Self Defense
Pepper guns give you the stopping power of OC pepper spray delivered from a distance — up to 20 feet — with pistol-grip accuracy that a standard keychain spray can’t match. Whether you’re walking to your car after a late shift, looking for home defense without a firearm, or want something more precise than a canister spray, a pepper gun puts distance between you and a threat.
Every pepper gun we carry uses refillable OC cartridges so you’re never stuck with a single-use device. Comes loaded with an OC pepper spray cartridge and a water trainer so you can practice before you need it for real.

How Pepper Guns Differ from Standard Pepper Sprays
A keychain pepper spray works at arm's length — you're close to the threat when you deploy it. A pepper gun changes that equation. The pistol-grip design lets you aim like you would a firearm, and the pressurized OC cartridge fires a targeted stream up to 20 feet. That distance matters. It means you can respond to a threat before it reaches you, not after.
Choosing the Right Pepper Gun for Your Situation
If you're carrying daily, the Mace Pepper Gun 2.0 fits in a bag or holster and includes a built-in LED strobe that activates on the trigger — useful for low-light situations. The refillable cartridge system means you're not throwing the whole unit away after one use. If you want to practice before carrying, use the included water trainer cartridge to get comfortable with the grip, safety, and trigger pull before loading live OC.
What You Get with Every Pepper Gun at Variety Products
Every pepper gun we sell ships with an OC pepper spray cartridge and a water training cartridge — so you can practice with the exact same device before you carry it for real. The 10% OC formula includes UV marking dye that can help identify an attacker later. These aren't toys, and they're not one-size-fits-all gadgets. If you have a question about which model fits your needs, our customer support team actually picks up the phone.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pepper Guns
Q: Are pepper guns legal to carry?
Pepper guns are legal in most U.S. states, but laws vary on concentration limits, age restrictions, and where you can carry them. They are not classified as firearms — no license is required to purchase. Always check the current laws in your state and city before carrying any pepper spray device.
Q: How far do pepper guns shoot?
The Mace Pepper Gun 2.0 fires an OC stream up to 20 feet. That range gives you a significant advantage over standard canister sprays, which typically reach 6–10 feet. More distance means more time to respond before a threat gets close.
Q: Can I refill or reload the pepper gun after use?
Yes. The Mace Pepper Gun uses replaceable OC cartridges — you pop out the spent cartridge and load a fresh one. Replacement cartridges are available separately so you don't have to replace the entire unit. This makes it a more practical long-term defense tool than single-use sprays.
Q: What is OC pepper spray and how effective is it?
OC (oleoresin capsicum) is derived from hot peppers and causes intense burning, involuntary eye closure, and temporary breathing difficulty in an attacker. Our pepper guns use a 10% OC formula — a maximum-strength civilian concentration. The UV marking dye in the formula can also help law enforcement identify an assailant after the fact.
Q: Do I need to practice before carrying a pepper gun?
Definitely. Every unit includes a water training cartridge so you can practice with the real device — actual grip, actual trigger pull, actual safety mechanism — without deploying live OC. Familiarizing yourself with how the safety engages and how much trigger force is required makes a real difference when it counts.
