I have tried many stun guns/ tazers (not the shootie version)- and do not like any of them-
I am 5'11 and about 200 lbs, and have tested several, from 40000 volts to 200000, (my wife works nights in a drug rehab center, so it seemed like a possible good idea for her to us) and have never been incapacitated by any of them- they hurt, they annoy, but then you beat the shit out of the user- have several cop buddies, all of whom detest tazers and stun guns- they tell me, though I have not checked the stats myself, that the law enforcement models, (far stronger than civilian ones) have less than a 30 % effectiveness rate- also, remember that that 3 seconds mentioned above is a hell of a long time in real life, and the subject will either be moving toward you with intent to harm, or thrashing around and disconnecting the prods- REALY, FROM EVERY PROFESSIONAL THAT I HAVE SPOKEN WITH, THESE ARE IMPRESSIVE LOOKING TOYS THAT DO NOT WORK- they do look VERY scary, and that makes them great for many bouncers that i know, and for anyone that you may need to intimidate into leaving you alone, what pisses me off about them is that they are empty threats, and leave the user up a creek if dealing with a serious bad guy....
mace or pepper spray, in my experience , is a far better idea for a fast grab defence- still no match for the gun, but at least it works more often ( though that one is not sure fire either).
Better by far to teach the kid proper respect for guns and not be killed by an intruder- I and many like me grew up with guns, all were loaded, with rounds in the chamber, and neither myself nor my sibling managed to shoot ourselves or anyone else-
