New Fox Pepper Spray can I got seems empty when I shake it

[Bushman]

I've had a few of these flip top pepper sprays from Fox and Sabre, but they all shake a liquid in them, you can tell there's something in there.

This one, despite having an expiration date for 2028, seems completely empty when I shake it. Could it just be because there's soooo much aerosol in there? Or actually is empty?

We have a volunteer!

Kidding aside, doesn't spraying it cause slow leakage of the aerosol over time after it's been sprayed?

Weigh it, it should be heavier than the advertized load.

Toss it on your powder scale then call/email the manufacturer and see how much a filled canister should weigh.

Hang on...need to grab a beer for this...



Ok...here's what you do...

Grab your shot timer and put the OC in your pocket like you carry it...

Next...Pick your least favorite child...or the one that has screwed up most recently...either way...we don't judge...

Take the little one out back...

Stand back about 7 feet...And wait for the buzzer...

*BEEP!* Aaand GO!

Report back to us whether it was full or empty.

As a side note, my last can from Fox got out of the factory without an expiration date on it. I called them on the phone. They were very nice and quite surprised it didn't have a date on it. Asked me to send them photos to confirm. They were certain it was a fresh can but didn't know for certain how it escaped the factory without a date on it. Their guess was the dating/labeling machine glitched.
