Non-lethal weapons, also called nonlethal weapons, less-lethal weapons, [1][2][3][4] less-than-lethal weapons, non-deadly weapons, compliance weapons, or pain-inducing weapons are weapons intended to be less likely to kill a living target than conventional weapons such as knives and firearms with live ammunition. It is often understood that unintended or incidental casualties are risked wherever force is applied. Still, non-lethal weapons try to minimize the risk of casualties (e.g., serious/permanent injuries or death) as much as possible. Non-lethal weapons are used in policing and combat situations to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable, where rules of engagement require minimum casualties, or where policy restricts the use of conventional force. These weapons occasionally cause serious injuries or death; some organizations have preferred the term “less-lethal” as it describes the risks of death more accurately than the term “non-lethal,” which some have argued is a misnomer.[2][5][6][7]

The conventional military may use non-lethal weapons in a range of missions across the force continuum. Military police may also use United Nations and occupation forces for peacekeeping and stability operations. Non-lethal weapons may also be used to channel a battlefield, control civilian populations’ movement, or limit civilian access to restricted areas (as they were utilized by the USMC’s 1st Marine Expeditionary Force in Somalia in 1995). Similar weapons, tactics, techniques, and procedures are employed by police forces domestically in riot control, prisoner control, crowd control, refugee control, and self-defense, where the terminology “less-than-lethal” is often used.
