Rubber bullets are non-lethal projectiles made from rubber or other materials designed to incapacitate a target without causing permanent injury. They are often used by law enforcement and military forces for crowd control and riot situations. Unlike traditional bullets, rubber bullets are intended to minimize the risk of fatality while still providing a means to disperse crowds or subdue individuals. Despite being classified as non-lethal, rubber bullets can still cause serious injuries, especially if fired at close range. Their use has sparked debate regarding safety and appropriate application, particularly in situations involving protests or civil unrest, where the potential for harm can be significant.
