>>9793031> PeppersprayPuts people out of action for minutes.
> CrossbowVery lethal (illegal here.. but might be legal to buy one in France, dunno).
> A big macheteIntimidating, and good for close quarter combat. Personally I would prefer long range weapons since the risk of injury or death is so big if the threat gets close to you.
> Iron pipe with blade/knife duct taped to itLethal and good for keeping the distance between you and the potential threat.
> An airgun/paintball pistol that looks like a real pistolDont draw it vs someone with a real gun, only vs people without a gun. Its said around 9/10 people will back off when someone draws a gun, so you might not even have to use it. If you have to, a few shots to their face might increase your odds, but these weapons are obviously not lethal.
