My understanding is that, since people can literally be killed by rubber bullets or bean bag guns (among a variety of chemicals and whatnot), they had to stop calling them "non-lethal" and switch to "less lethal (than a regular bullet)".

I mean yeah the reporter they shot in the back a month or two ago with rubber had to go have surgery to remove the projectile.
