Non-lethal projectiles are designed to incapacitate or deter individuals without causing permanent injury or death. Common types include rubber bullets, bean bag rounds, and foam projectiles. These tools are often used by law enforcement and military personnel in crowd control situations or to subdue aggressive individuals while minimizing the risk of serious harm. The primary goal of non-lethal projectiles is to provide a safer alternative to traditional firearms. They can effectively disperse crowds or immobilize a suspect while allowing for the possibility of de-escalation. However, improper use or close-range deployment can still result in injury, making training and guidelines essential for their application.
