Stun guns and pepper sprays are on average 86 percent effective. Tasers are nearly one hundred percent effective but are considerably more expensive than other self defense tools.
Stun guns are small devices that fit into your hand that have usually two prongs on one end that conduct an electrical charge ranging from 80,000 volts to four and one half million volts. That charge when applied to an assailant for three to five seconds causes the body to overwork rapidly depleting it of all blood sugars needed for energy so he can't do anything to harm you. It will disable an assailant for up to ten minutes.
