Point, Shoot, and Put 20 Feet Between You and Trouble
Most pepper sprays top out around 10 to 12 feet. The Mace Pepper Gun 2.0 doubles that to 20 feet, and it delivers OC pepper in a power stream that works from any angle — even upside down. The pistol-grip design makes aiming natural, and the included practice cartridge lets you get comfortable with it before you ever need the real thing.
Who This Pepper Gun Is For
This is built for someone who wants more capability than a canister spray can offer. Home defense, property protection, late-night walks in areas with limited lighting — the Pepper Gun 2.0 gives you range, accuracy, and a built-in flashlight that handles all of those situations.
It’s also a strong option for anyone who isn’t comfortable with firearms but wants a serious defensive tool that’s intuitive to use. If you can point your finger, you can use this.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose the Mace Pepper Gun 2.0 if you want:
- Maximum spray range at 20 feet with point-and-shoot pistol accuracy
- Built-in dual-mode LED flashlight and strobe for low-light situations
- A practice cartridge included so you can train before you need it
Consider something else if you need:
- Pocket-size concealment — this is a full-size defense tool at 1.25 lbs
- More than 7 shots per cartridge — standard pepper sprays offer more bursts
How the Pepper Gun 2.0 Actually Works
The advanced delivery system uses a pressurized cartridge to fire a concentrated OC pepper stream up to 20 feet. Unlike canister sprays that rely on an aerosol propellant and can weaken at distance, the Pepper Gun maintains its power stream at full range. You get 7 one-second bursts per cartridge — enough for multiple defensive encounters from a single load.
The dual-mode LED is a practical touch. One trigger engagement activates a steady flashlight for identifying threats in the dark. A second engagement switches to a pulsating strobe that disorients an approaching threat before you ever fire a shot. The slide release safety prevents accidental discharge while keeping activation simple under stress.
The integrated Picatinny rail lets you mount compatible accessories. The cartridge system is refillable — when you use a cartridge, you pop in a replacement and you’re back in business. The included water practice cartridge is the same weight and spray pattern as the live OC cartridge, so your training translates directly to the real thing.

Twenty feet of range, a built-in flashlight, and the ability to practice before it counts. That’s the kind of preparation that makes a real difference.
How do I reload the Pepper Gun 2.0?
The cartridge system is designed for easy reloading. You release the spent cartridge, slide in a fresh one, and you’re ready. Replacement cartridges are available in OC pepper and water practice versions. It takes about the same effort as changing batteries in a flashlight.
Does the practice cartridge feel the same as the live OC cartridge?
Yes. The water practice cartridge is designed to match the weight, spray pattern, and range of the live OC cartridge. This means your practice sessions translate directly to real-world use. It’s highly recommended to run through the practice cartridge before relying on the pepper gun for defense.
How long do the LED batteries last?
The 3 LR44 batteries that power the LED flashlight and strobe are included and provide hours of intermittent use. Since you’re typically using the light in short bursts rather than continuously, they last a good while. Keep spare LR44 batteries on hand as part of your regular maintenance.
