Which type of agents are typically used for incapacitating effects rather than lethal outcomes?

Nerve agents are classified as a category of chemical warfare agents that interfere with the normal functioning of the nervous system. They are potent and can lead to rapid incapacitation of the target. However, while some nerve agents can be lethal, they can also be used in a manner that focuses on incapacitating individuals rather than causing death. This makes them particularly relevant in scenarios where the objective is to disable or control a population or an enemy force without necessarily resulting in fatalities.

In contrast, biological agents can cause a range of health effects, from debilitating symptoms to lethal outcomes, depending on the agent and the dosages involved. Vote agents is not a recognized category in the context of HAZMAT or chemical warfare, and therefore it does not pertain to this question. Radiological agents primarily cause harm through exposure to radiation and typically focus on causing damage or lethality rather than incapacitating effects. Thus, considering their intended use and effects, nerve agents are most aligned with the concept of incapacitating effects rather than aiming for a lethal outcome.
