The main task of weapons in the modern world is the protection and safety of life. Unfortunately, not every weapon is designed for peaceful solutions. In the world, most of it is lethal weapons.
The media regularly inform us about lethal weapons, without making it clear exactly what they are. This is especially acutely discussed in the light of recent military events.
It is not always possible to accurately classify weapons into lethal and non-lethal. Even a simple electric shock can cause such harm to human health that will be incompatible with life. However, it is the weapons for self-defense that are most easily identified, since their design is intended only for partial destruction.
With lethal weapons, things are a little more complicated. There is no single classification that could classify this or that type of weapon as lethal. Therefore, it is possible to declare 100% that a weapon is intended for destruction only if its main task is to defeat a large territory or a large number of people.
If non-lethal weapons are used most often in law enforcement spheres, then lethal ones have become widespread in the military field. These include, first of all, various rocket launchers, weapons of mass destruction, firearms and even nuclear weapons. The range of applications and varieties is really very large.
Often, non-lethal weapons can become lethal if the design is changed, which is used by many criminals. However, you need to know that this is a criminal offense. Remember that people are not killed by weapons, but by other people.
