What is the recommended Tactical Movement for deploying a defensive spray?

• A. Sprint and advance while spraying.
• B. Spray move assess.
• C. Move quickly then assess at distance.
• D. Hold spray until contact, then assess.

Answer: (B)

Spray, move, assess. The idea is to use a short burst to deter and buy yourself time, then quickly break contact by moving away to a safer distance, and finally stop to evaluate what’s happening and decide your next step. This sequence leverages the spray’s temporary effect while keeping you in control: you create space, reduce your exposure to an attack, and regain the ability to observe the situation before deciding whether to retreat further or seek help. Moving while spraying or waiting until contact before acting can leave you exposed or reduce your control, so the order of spray, then move, then assess is the safest and most effective approach.
