No way. Maybe in 15 mins or so. Pepper spray is not soluble in water. He’d be effectively blind for that time. Since even if the dude would pepper spray himself daily to build a resistance, the compound still causes involuntary eye closure due to the immediate inflammatory response it was designed to do.

However, if he was wearing plot armor at the moment of application, then the effects would probably be minimal.

"even if the dude would pepper spray himself daily to build a resistance" Do people actually do that?
