Any thoughts on the effectiveness of electronic stun guns?

For example, do they usually work against an intoxicated person or a mentally ill person in a rage?

Are the higher voltage ones more effective?

I remember seeing the Rodney King video when he was hit with a taser, which I believe was 50,000 mV. I thought that it momentarily staggered him and he nearly went down.

Our dept. had stun guns for awhile but they were only issued to supervisors. I saw one used once, the guy yelled real loud but he still fought. I hear some of these new tazers are pretty effective.

But so is hadaka jime. (judo strangle)
