Non-lethal ammunition refers to projectiles designed to incapacitate or deter individuals without causing permanent injury or death. Common types include rubber bullets, bean bag rounds, and tear gas canisters. These alternatives are often used by law enforcement and military personnel in situations where lethal force is not warranted. The primary goal of non-lethal ammunition is to control crowds or subdue suspects while minimizing harm. While they can still cause injury if misused or fired at close range, they are generally considered safer than traditional firearms. Proper training and guidelines are essential for effective and responsible use of these munitions.
