A "blinding dart" is a type of projectile designed to temporarily impair the vision of a target. Often used in various forms of entertainment, such as video games or fantasy literature, these darts can create a visual effect that disorients opponents. They are typically depicted as being shot from a bow or thrown by hand. In real-world applications, similar concepts are found in non-lethal weaponry, where devices aim to incapacitate without causing permanent harm. These can include items like flashbang grenades or stun guns, which are used by law enforcement to control situations without lethal force.
