Do shotgun beanbag rounds incapacitate reliably?
I’m guessing no since they are not something you read about being used regularly...

Usually yes. They hit about like getting beaned by a major-league baseball pitcher +. But I know of one case in Albuquerque New Mexico where where the deranged maniac absorbed 15 or 20 of them without effect as he waved a knife around. They sent in a police attack dog which he also defeated and was in the process of strangling. Ultimately they sent in a cop who ina prior life had been a US Air Force PJ. He handled it *quickly* without using a weapon. (Besides him) Truly, comical. When you mention special forces, never forget PJs. They are often forgotten.

Apparently they work on the elderly.

"The Chicago-area police officer who fatally shot a 95-year-old World War Two vet with a bean bag gun feared for his life when he confronted the knife-wielding man at a nursing home, the officer’s lawyer told a court on Friday."

Incapacity ability probably depends on hitting a sensitive area.
