I can't imagine that it would do anything other than piss off someone that was already a mean bastard.
When I was in college, there was a guy in the next room that had one that looked similar to this.
He used to screw with people with it. I shocked myself a couple of times. It was irritating, but would not disable you (I guess possibly if it hit just the right spot, but seems unlikely to me). I have to think that one would be a tiny fraction of the zap that you'd get out of something more traditional.
