Le PAVA, une version synthétique de la capsicine oléorésineuse, est de plus en plus utilisé pour les activités de maintien de l'ordre car il est plus puissant que le produit naturel. Il existe toutes sortes de cartouches, grenades et de pulvérisateurs pour diffuser les agents de lutte antiémeute et les dernières études s'intéressent à de nouvelles méthodes comme des projectiles de type paintball remplis de PAVA, de capsicine oléorésineuse ou de poudre de CS, que peuvent lancer les systèmes PepperBall et FN 303. 2, record 3, French, - PAVA
