The authors review the wide range of non-lethal or, as some experts refer to them, less lethal, weapons that are being developed or made more effective. These weapons might be used by either terrorists and other non-state forces or conventional police and military. They include electrical weapons such as stun guns, electrified nets, landmines, grenades and electrified water cannons. Acoustic weapons, which use audible sound, infrasound, or ultrasound, are also being developed, as are directed energy weapons such as chemical and diode lasers and high-powered microwaves. Other categories of weapons include biochemical incapacitating weapons that work like sedatives, and malodorants. These technologies can be combined with each other or with already developed weapons.
