👉 A lesser weapon, also known as a non-lethal weapon or less-lethal weapon, is a tool designed to incapacitate or deter an attacker without causing permanent harm or death. These weapons are often used in law enforcement, military, and security contexts to subdue suspects or threats without resorting to lethal force. Examples include tasers, pepper spray, batons, and rubber bullets. While they are intended to minimize harm, their use can still result in injuries or discomfort, and their effectiveness can vary depending on the situation and the target's resistance.
