If you're creating a new page for a less than lethal weapon make sure to add [[Category:Gun]] and [[Category:Less-Lethal]] to the page so that it will be listed here.

Note that, when referring to weapons meant to incapacitate targets rather than outright killing them, the preferred term is "Less-Lethal", rather than the oft-used "Less-Than-Lethal" or "Non-Lethal", as the latter two imply that killing someone with the weapon in question is physically impossible; this is most definitely not the case, with everything from tear gas to electroshock weapons to stun grenades being capable of causing death under certain conditions.
