I like the idea of avoiding killing people who very much need to be incapacitated, but is it going to make life easier or harder for soldiers? One extra decision: shoot to kill or shoot to disable?

It depends on whether or not there's information to be obtained from the target.

It depends on whether or not there's information to be obtained from the target.

And whether or not there are people around the target that you don't want to kill.

Plus, imagine the psychological effects of a weapon like this. I imagine it would freak out the average third-worlder.
