Non-lethal and reduced lethality weapons form part of a vast range available for the use of force but it is difficult to reach an internationally agreed definition, whereas internally they have already proved their worth in law and order enforcement. The attraction of these weapons is justifiable on moral grounds because of the intent not to kill but to neutralise an adversary temporarily, and to save men and equipment, but at the risk, among others, of leaving the soldier powerless against conventional weapons.
