They considered using L.S.D. as an aerosol on enemy troops, but IIRC there were problems with using it, don't remember exactly what. It would also incapacitate friendly troops or some agreement was signed forbidding its usage. Long time ago since I went down this rabbit hole last time...

I guess the non lethal option lowers the risk of friendly fire? If nothing else, the double edged sword application of chemical weapons was well known at this point.
- foxyv 4y agoThe ideal scenario for a weapon is immediate, non-lethal, incapacitation. The holy grail of weapons technology is the stun setting on the Star Trek phaser. Making an incapacitated enemy dead: Easy. Making a dead civilian/ally un-dead: Necromancy.
