👉 A binding weapon is a type of non-lethal weapon that uses physical restraints to incapacitate an individual without causing permanent harm or death. These weapons are designed to immobilize the target, preventing them from escaping or causing further harm, often through the use of chains, ropes, or other binding materials. Unlike lethal weapons, binding weapons aim to subdue and control the victim, typically for situations like crowd control or de-escalating confrontations. They are generally used in law enforcement, military operations, and private security contexts to manage potentially dangerous situations while minimizing risk to both the victim and responders.
