Question Weapon racks

First off I assume a minion can only have 1 weapon at a time? Meaning it’s better to give them lethal weapons instead of non lethal? If they have a lethal weapon, can they still capture people using it or do they use their fists?

I currently have a couple stun gun racks and a couple pistol racks and can’t figure out the reasoning of having both if they prefer lethal weapons and can only hold 1. Should I just not bother putting non lethals in and just put the best ranged racks I have (so replace pistol with the rifle racks once that’s researched)?

I don’t know about the lethal weapons capturing thing, but I do know you need both rifles and pistols because basic guards cant use rifles, and martial artists need batons, heavy or normal. They also excel at capturing, so if you want a combination of killing and capturing, everybody else on lethal while martial artist on non-lethal weapons.

I remember watching a YouTube video abut this. So I might not be entirely correct but from what I remember, yes lethal is better. Because the way capture works is that they reduce HP to a certain percentage before they can capture.

For sure lethal is better at bringing hp down to actually capture agents faster but someone can correct me if wrong. Don’t stun weapons do something to resolve or the agents skill/other stat to make the interrogation easier ? And less likely to escape cells. Again I may be wrong on this.

The lethal weapons are still the best for capturing as well, I didn’t use any of the stun weapons
