The term used when the spray hits the subject's facial area and the subject responds to the effects and verbal commands is called what?

• A. Successful hit
• B. Direct hit
• C. Partial hit
• D. No hit

Answer: (A)

Direct hit is the term used when the spray makes direct contact with the subject’s facial area and the subject responds to the effects and verbal commands. This label emphasizes that the spray hit the intended target directly and produced the expected reaction, confirming proper delivery and compliance. A partial hit would imply only partial contact or effect, and a no hit means there was no contact at all. While some informal language might use “successful hit,” standard training uses direct hit to describe this precise scenario.
