I've used a stun gun once in a nightclub fight I got dragged into when a guy went to punch another guy and the guy ducked and he knocked me over instead. You really have to make a good connection with it to make it effective. The problem is once you make contact with someone they leap back before the charge can nail their nervous system. So its only good if someone is trying to push against you and then it will work to get them off of you.
I used pepper spray only once and it was on a huge Rottweiler that charged to attack my German Shepherd when he was a puppy. He backed off instantly.
I've tested pepper spray by just spraying it into the air and the wind blew it back into my face. It basically makes your eyes close and tear, your throat feels like you've just swallowed one of those nasty mexican peppers, and its hard to catch your breath without making the burning sensation worse.
Again the basic problem with pepper spray is if the wind is blowing the wrong way you're the one going down, not your assailant. Also in a closeup situation, there's no way you're going to spray him without getting it on you also. And the shit lingers on your clothes.
Personally I really like baseball bats. Those really scare people cause you look like a total mafia psycho if you pull one of those out and give them that "I'm gonna bash your fucking head in" look.
I've used my bat 3 times and the minute people see you coming at them you can just tell they're thinking WTF this dude is serious, let's get the fuck out of here.
