Report Overview
Plastic bullets, also known as kinetic impact projectiles (KIPs), are non-lethal or less-lethal munitions primarily used by law enforcement and military forces for crowd control, riot suppression, and other situations where minimizing fatalities is critical. These projectiles are typically made from hard plastic or rubber-coated materials and are designed to incapacitate or deter individuals by delivering blunt-force trauma upon impact, rather than penetrating the body like conventional bullets. While marketed as a safer alternative to live ammunition, plastic bullets have been criticized for causing severe injuries, including fractures, organ damage, and even fatalities, particularly when fired at close range or aimed at vulnerable body parts. Their use remains controversial, with debates centered around their effectiveness, human rights implications, and the balance between maintaining public order and ensuring civilian safety. The market for plastic bullets is driven by demand from security forces worldwide, regulatory frameworks governing their use, and advancements in less-lethal technology aimed at reducing collateral harm.
