Massive Growth for Non-Lethal Weapons Industry
Non-lethal weapons, also called less-lethal weapons, less-than-lethal weapons, non-lethal weapons, compliance weapons, or pain-inducing weapons, are weapons designed to kill a living target with less likelihood than traditional weapons such as knives and firearms live ammunition. It is often assumed that wherever force is used there is a risk of unintended or accidental casualties, but non-lethal weapons attempt to minimize the risk of casualties (e.g. serious/permanent injury or death) as much as possible.

Non-lethal weapons are used in policing and combat situations to limit the escalation of conflict when the use of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable, when rules of engagement require minimum casualties, or when policy limits the use of conventional force. These weapons occasionally cause serious injury or death; The term "less lethal" has been favored by some organizations as it describes the risks of death more accurately than the term "non-lethal", which some have called a misnomer.
Non-lethal weapons can be used by the conventional military in a variety of missions across the force continuum. They can also be used by military police, United Nations forces and occupation forces for peacekeeping and stability operations.
