Guess it depends where you get hit with either. I know that they both hurt or at least get your attention rather quickly.

Every police officer that I've ever talked to (including myself) that has experienced both says that the taser is by far the worse. It is true that the taser only lasts a few seconds while the OC or pepper spray lasts significantly longer, but there are few if any, that can withstand the taser. The pepper spray has no effect on about 6% of the population. I've utilized the taser on people who defecated on themselves as a result of it, no one that I've pepper sprayed has ever done that. I've not only experienced both personally, but have used both in the line of duty numerous times. The taser is more effective. If you've ever watched the training videos of the taser, you'll see full grown steers that are totally incapacitated with a taser. OC will not do that.

No brainer, the tazer. CS gas wears off quickly in the open air.

taser involves wires that are shot out of the taser that hit your body and attach by hooks! then zap. extreme pain but over a relatively short duration controlled by the officer. on the other hand ther is cs gas? do you mean oc spray. oc spray is a chemical irritant based on the resins of cayenne pepper oils that you spray in someones face to incapacitate them. the spray will in a matter of seconds irritate your skin, eyes and nasal passages. it will put most people down and in most instances incapacitate you for several minutes (upwards of 20 + in some cases) until you decontaminate yourself by blotting the chemical off with a dry towel and then repeatedly rinsing your skin. its a toss up.

I had a friend who was training to be a policeman.
To be certified to use a tazer, you had to have it used against you.
He said he will not seek re-certification for the tazer and that the cs gas you get over after carefully washing your eyes & sinus passages.
So he said the gas was easier for him to deal with.

CS gas or OC either one are worse than a Tazer. When a Tazer is over, it's over - the others just keep on and on.

CS gas because it takes awhile for the product to dissipate from your system versus the taser after the zap you feel fine.

Taser. Hands down.
Watch the video all the way to the end. Listen to what this tough guy says about the taser and how he compares it to other "motivational" techniques.
