Non-Lethal WeaponsThe absence of lethal weapons is not limited to pepper spray and Tasers. No deadly weapon has a reason, but it is more deadly than people make it out to be. This happens as they move forward. No lethal weapons help calm the rioters thanks to the improvements made. There are also injuries that are not associated with deadly weapons. Much progress has been made in the development of non-lethal weapons. These advances have increased interest in non-lethal weapons. Lethal landmines were banned with the Ottawa Treaty; however, new mines are being improved to use rubber bullets, electrical wires, and chemicals (SV; however, SV.) (Nick Lewer). For example, there is a non-lethal weapon that uses three non-lethal weapons in one; he uses pepper spray, electric shocks and video surveillance (SV; SV.). Another non-lethal weapon uses microwaves; it penetrates through the skin; it uses water molecules to vibrate inside the body (SV; SV; SV.). These are just a few of the many developments in non-lethal technologies. No lethal weapons are used for a number of reasons. When faced with civilians, military forces and political decision-makers seek an alternative to deadly force. Police and prison services are also interested in non-lethal arrest and restraint techniques (Nick Lewer). For example, the use of non-lethal weapons on board an aircraft could be used to eliminate hijackers. When dealing with civilians, law enforcement does not want to kill citizens, but to lightly injure them. These are just a few of the many examples of the use of non-lethal weapons. People have their own reasons for using non-lethal weapons. According to Sgt. Crispin Castillo, “If we just kill a criminal, we won't know why he did what he did and we won't be able to find out... middle of paper ...... a challenge for doctors treat. There are advances in non-lethal weapons that could change the future. The reasons for using non-lethal weapons are increasing every day. The effects or injuries from these so-called “non-lethal weapons” make them more lethal than non-lethal. Non-lethal weapons are advancing, and with those advances they are more lethal than non-lethal, but these weapons also serve a purpose.
