Any stats on the effectiveness of less lethal kinetic rounds?
There seems to be data on how often tasers and pepper spray manage to successfully stop an attacker, although different sources name different numbers.
I wasn't able to find such data on less lethal impact/kinetic rounds, be it about CO2 paintball markers or shotguns loaded with bean bags. I (and probs many other people) wouldn't want to depend on a weapon that hasn't been proven to be effective, and it seems like the arguments you see online in favor of the effectiveness of less lethal guns are mostly theoretical.
You can find footage of law enforcement using them, but those are anecdotes.
Does anyone have any statistical data on the matter? If so, could you share it?
