You are confounding the 'bad lazer' crowd with the folks who tut tut the use of lazers to kill people ~ they really aren't NON LETHAL, just usually less lethal than firearms.

You did know they are lethal weapons, right?

Don't be using it on a baby to make him jump eh ~ you can easily kill babies, the elderly and fat white guys with heart trouble.

BTW, when it seems like it's not working ~ you know, when the target won't get up no matter how loud and often you utter your commands, that means IT WORKED so don't keep chucking them in the crotch with that thing. They are not getting a buzz on.

When did they start making commercial charged-particle laser stun guns? Please let me know who makes them so I may purchase one, I’ve always wanted a laser weapon.

As for the Tazers, they are less-lethal, not non-lethal, and I’ve been careful to make that distinction where appropriate. But again, when you take the nightsticks away from cops, when you take the beanbag rounds away and you issue Tazers then take them away, the only other option is what you see here - shooting the person dead.

Your last paragraph is indicative of a training problem, not an inherent problem of the weapon system.
