"Nonlethal Weapons: Terms and References"

This 1997 report from the Institute for National Security Studies - part of the US Air Force Academy - lists dozens of "nonlethal weapons," many of which are very obscure. Categories include acoustics, biotechnicals, electromagnetics, entanglers, holograms, and reactants.
It was retrieved from the extensive Defense Technical Information Center website here.
The glossary of nonlethal weapons is reproduced below for easy reading, but the full report also contains a section on "concepts" (including ethical, operational, physiological, and theoretical) and an invaluable bibliography with 644 entries. [from TheMemoryHole.org]
