Kind of like tazers but better? Like it still in a gun form and it will completely take out the person but in a non lethal dangerous way?

No because that's not as reliable and take out a shooter or person of interest.

Any time you're launching a projectile of any kind at anyone there's a chance that it becomes lethal.

They already exist, and have been used extensively throughout the protests. They shoot rubber bullets.

More advanced non-lethal tech is... well, it's not a good look. It's painful and often leaves a person disabled. The optics are bad and you just left a person alive to file a lawsuit.

Not saying it shouldn't be used, but that's likely the rationale for not using it on citizens.

Because tranquilizers aren't gonna stop someone from shooting you before it actually kick in.

Cuz criminals use real lethal guns so it would be silly to fight that with a nonlethal gun that doesn't reliably subdue someone >_>

If were never going to develop personal forcefields then we need to start working on guns that just kill you for five minutes.

Just use the super soakers to spray gas. They'll stop at the thought of being burned alive

Because tranquilizers don't work even remotely similar to how you think they do.

Which is why they're called less than lethal

that label is part of the reason why people minimize the amount of harm that one of those bullets can do.

(another reason is that they're misleadingly called "rubber bullets" in the first place)
