I read recently that pepper spray is actually more effective than a taser many times.  Some people will be able to keep going after being hit by a taser, but pepper spray almost always puts them out of commission within a few seconds.

Pepper spray is pretty effective if it gets into the eyes.  Taser failures are typically due to one probe not penetrating.  Tasers are sometime effective simply by pulling it out and the subject becoming compliant just from the threat of it being used.  If the taser hits properly you aren't fighting anything, you will have complete muscle lock up.  Some people are unaffected by pepper spray.

 

I've had one pepper spray failure.  That was due to only getting one eye.

I've had three partial failures with the taser.  Two were due to doing what is called a drive stun where no probes are deployed.  Did not have the desired effect.  The third I only got one probe in the guy.  He had baggy clothing and the second probe got caught up in the clothing.

About how frequently do you use pepper spray compared to using a taser?
