What’s this? A Modern Rogue on a Tuesday?? Introducing Desperate Defense Week, featuring a minisode every single day this week!!
You find yourself in a barren room, a lone can of hair spray at your feet. You do not remember how you got there. After a brief pause, a klaxon blares throughout the room and an aggressor emerges from a shadow-engulfed corner of the room. Do you use the hair spray to defend yourself?

Running is the best option imo, but if you are cornered I can see the flamethrower as viable. You would have to light their clothes so they get distracted then you could blind them with the flame. Maybe light their hair and attack while distracted. I would give it a solid 6
As someone whos been in several fights with hairspray I can say its a five at most. Even with the flames if someone is way bigger then you (and they probably are thats why your using fire.) They will probably get scared and a bit burnt but really you can just push through that and grab the can/lighter.
Is 10 suppose to be an actual home defence weapon…Like a shotgun or taser or something? Cuz if thats the case, i would give a can of hairspray a 2 or 3.. honestly, if people broke into my house i wouldn’t think “oh, Im good .. I have a can of hairspray and thats a 7… i can try to carve his ear off if he doesn’t see me coming and leaves his head completely exposed at point blank range” … especially after seeing Murphy barely blink when it was sprayed directly into his eyes… might work ok to surprise someone if you can catch them off guard and definitely gives you more utility than your bare hands alone… but, sorry guys I just don’t think its higher than a 3, tops… definitely not a 7
I'm giving it a 7 as far as using it as a blunt object of attack combined with maybe spraying them in the eyes. Lighting it on fire looks as if it would be too clumsy and would only be useful given that you can hide around the corner….
Brian… you looked way to excited to spray Jason in the face a second time hahaha Jason… Props for being a man and just being like "Yeah, just spray me in the face"

lol "I have emerged from another intellectual property to destroy you."
but hairspray is a fuel, i dont think you'd burn someone, this is like lighting fuel on your hand on fire, you dont get burned (easily)
A solid 4 by itself, with a lighter, I would give it a 5.
Close you eyes and s
Listen at 2:49
Modern Desperate Hairspray Rogue
5 it’s not something that could kill immediately but it will definitely stun them
You'r how to basic
Dark Souls Combustion spell comes to mind.
I would say 8 or 9
I say like 7 or an 8

See, If you don't have a means to light the hairspray, it becomes drastically less effective.
With a lighter or match, I'd say a 6 or 7. Without, 2 or 3.
using your fists would rate 11 if you knew CQC

I think guys should carry hairspray
wasp spray is better
If you used bug spray instead of sunscreen the it would hurt your eyes much more also the bug spray does burn
3 at best. keep in mind there are a ton of range weapons and blunt/sharp weapons to go before Guns/BFGs! =
9 definitely there are probably more uses somewhere
WD-40 is a major upgrade in the fire area. There may be something even better in a spray can – but WD-40 is pretty damn common.
