Do you have to shake it before use? Like spray paint or other aerosols? Or can it sit on a shelf for 2 years and work fine with trigger pull?

To keep it reliable it does not hurt to shake monthly to avoid separation/settling, similar to a fire extinguisher. Do not need to shake before use like you do spray paint.

I bought this for my mom, and before buying it, I did a little online research, and most of it I see says that pepper spray containers should remain use able as long as the container seals remain intact. If it stays in an environment with average humidity and temperature, then 2-3 years is not unreasonable. As to shaking it, I'm not sure, but the capsaicin should remain in suspension, and the pickup tube where the product comes out of the can should be at the bottom of the can. The dye in the spray (some have it, some don't), would be the big question whether it would remain in suspension.

I have used 3 different brands of pepper spray & none of the label directions suggest shaking the container. The only reason to do so would be to possibly mix what may have settled over time (as per spray paint directions as the pigment separates from the base it is mixed with at the factory). So in short I would say no not necessary.

The product directions does not mention about shaking before use. However I would shake it gently once in awhile to ensure the chemicals inside (pepper spray ingrdt & dye) are well mixed, in case of condensation, in case those compounds may saturate/weight differently.

Yes - clean it like a gun. The barrel needs lubrication. P.S. don't dry fire it. I accidentally did in my back yard and it sounded like a real gun fired, not to mention it's really not good on the compression seals. I love mine. Best powerful pellet gun ever - Not for minors though!!

The best way to use this, if you want it to linger for a very long time, is to spray a couple sprays into a cup and place the cup near your target. It stays around for a looooong time when left in its liquid form.

In my case excessive vacuum inside the bottle has been the culprit. If you notice the walls of the bottle collapsing in on itself, the pump of the sprayer may not be able to refill itself before the next trigger pull. Usually happens when the fluid level within the bottle is low. Just pull the bottle back out and loosen the cap to vent air back inside (tighten cap before reinserting).

Use clear nail polish. I didn't the first time and the dog on my gun fell off after I shot it.

That is going to depend on the date of manufacture. The one currently in my pocket which was purchased late 2014 to early 2015 is labeled 6/2018. The expiration date, if I remember correctly is for the propellant, or the pressure in the can. Once it's used its a good idea to just replace it. In my opinion same with the expiration date. You bought it for protection and "just in case" you don't want to take a chance of it failing. I've used pepper spray from the company past the expiration date in training. Sometimes it worked other times it wouldn't fire. I hope this helps.

On mine you can NOT push it once to hold it on spray. You have to hold the trigger for spray. Arghh. My old one was the same way. Inconvenient when you want to have the spray on and use both hands for washing.

It does have to be "bumped" in order to shoot the gun. The trigger can not be pulled and nails start shooting out. This is the safety factor for this nailer. You have to push the nailer and pull the trigger at the same time for this to work.

It will last for a long time. I use it on all of my M&P's, and I had one sit for a year without use and when I took it apart it still looked fresh. Another good thing about the Slip 2000 EWG IS, it doesn't collect debris from shooting, I take most of my M&P's out weekly to the range, because I'm an instructor so I'm always at the range. Last week I put 500 rounds of TulAmmo through my 9mm M&P Shield and at the end of the day when I disassembled the pistol for cleaning, all of the parts were still well lubricated unlike regular oils that burn off, this stuff is great. Can't beat it in my opinion and not messy clean up either. Another good choice is Slip 2000 EWL synthetic oil, also great for the non grease parts. Hope I was a help to you sir.

After every shot. It is also recommended to pump it 1 time and leaving it pumped while not in use. That is unloaded & not cocked of course.

I have had no issue with it at all. I have it on a 9mm AR pistol build I did. I keep it in what I call a "loose zero" Meaning it does not need to be dead on where the bullet hits, just within 2 inches or less. It does this with no problem. I put it on the gun and really never touched it. The laser is just about 1 1/2" left of where bullet impact occurs and that is at 10 to 15 yards. It has never shifted. Around 2000 rounds with this laser on the gun so far.

Only pump it one time & use Crosman pellgun oil on the felt disk when the pump handle is all the way open & only when you touch the felt & don't get any oil on your finger, about every 500 shots & very important be sure & shoot it with one hour or you can damage the seals per owners manual ( I always shoot mine with in 5 minutes to be safe)

It is reliable. When you run out of spray and u buy another bottle u get new one, so I guess it doesn't even matter. I figure I can use holster with something else!

I like the heaviness of this as it stays where I put it rather than run all over. The trick is not to use gobs of it. A few dabs on the friction surfaces of my AR and my S&W; 9MP and spread it around for a thin lube layer and I can put 200 rounds through my AR or S&W; without a hitch. My one 4oz bottle has lasted for over 2 years. I would have gone through a lot more of a lighter weight product. My guns look brand new.

I haven't had a single issue with this rifle, and ive had it for about 7 months now. Fired over 10,000 rounds easy. That burst function eats bb's. I've always used clean ammunition fresh out of the container, never any reused rounds. It may just be jammed. Have you tried cleaning it at all? Or even using some air rifle oil?

It stays fast. The only issue is when you're changing the sheets. If you pull the corner up on the fitted sheet the weight of the gun can make the whole thing fall on the ground. Take the gun out prior to fitting the sheet and then put it right back. Isn't an issue, just FYI. Drawing the weapon is easy and seamless, but I use a Glock 23 so there's nothing for it to catch on. Still, I don't foresee any issues with a different gun.

It's up to you. I took that approach, put a small amount of Loctite on the end of the key, and it worked very well. Without Loctite (or equivalent product) no matter how you attach the unit it will shake loose after a couple of hundred rounds. As I regularly put 500 rounds of copper solid slug through my Remington 870 in a session, shaking loose wasn't a desirable trait. By the way, the buttstock I put on to replace the stock unit has a recoil spring that does a fabulous job of absorbing the recoil, otherwise my shoulder would be rather sore after a day's tactical session. With the spring stock I end the day without any discomfort at all. It's up to you. I took that approach, put a small amount of Loctite on the end of the key, and it worked very well.
