Regarding landmines, I'm glad the Hero Rats program exists. It's a handy, cheap, and more effective way of detecting landmines than metal detectors--they sniff out for the explosives and ignore scrap metal, and they're not heavy enough to set off the mines.

It is legal to use flamethrowers as weapons against enemy combatants so long as you do so either away from any civilian concentrations or when the enemy you are targeting is clearly separated from any civilians and you are taking reasonable precautions to protect civilians. Flamethrowers are no more restricted than any other type of incendiary weapon but most militaries choose not to use them as weapons because thermobaric weapons are normally more practical and effective.

That, and I think the person operating the flamethrower had the shortest lifespan of any combatant on the battlefield.

[@patrickokeefe4603]

@@DRAGONFLAIR2008 They were never explicitly banned and whether or not the general ban on weapons that cause unnecessary suffering applies depends heavily on the situation as suffering that is unnecessary in one set of circumstances may be necessary in other circumstances. This means flamethrowers and other indicatory weapons would not ordinarily be covered by the ban on weapons that cause unnecessary suffering if they were used to attack enemies in fortified positions but they might be covered by that ban if they were used to attack enemies out in the open (although it might not be covered by the ban if there was a reason why using indicatory weapons was necessary).

[@patrickokeefe4603]

@@DRAGONFLAIR2008 Civilians can only lawfully buy flamethrowers in countries with lax weapons laws. It is unlawful for civilians to possess flamethrowers in the UK because of the UK’s strict firearms laws (flamethrowers do fall under the UK’s legal definition of a firearm) but in most of the USA it is possible for civilians to lawfully possess flamethrowers. The USA does have laxer weapons laws than the UK but it is possible that the people who write laws in the USA simply did not think to ban flamethrowers as there use by criminals is virtually unheard of.

Small correction : The main reason Tear Gas is technically banned from Warfare is not because it's "unfair to incapacitate soldiers", it's because there is no way to separate it from another combat gas and risk escalation. If armies are allowed to use combat gas, then they are inevitably going to create stronger and stronger gas, which itself will inevitably end up in full blown chemical warfare, like we saw in the horrors of WW1. At least that's how it was explained to me, I'm not an expert.

[@Firenbrimstone]

That makes a lot of sense thanks for the explanation. Hope we never see that kind of warfare again.

[@knoahbody69]

I remember being told if you encounter nerve gas, inject the atropine in your kit. I asked what happens after that. "Wait for recovery". He didn't really explain what was going to happen. Nerve gas is basically a insecticide for people. I later learned about workers making insecticide and what happened when there was an accident. They were told to inject atropine and go down a chute to some kind of vehicle. They woke up in the hospital days later. The only thing I can think of is that the atropine paralyzes you and puts you in a coma so that poison can be removed somehow. The Russians have used nerve gas in Syria. Russians are war criminals. That was in 2010. In 2014 they invaded Crimea, and now we know what they are up to now. If you don't stand up to war criminals and terrorists, they won't stop.

[@theonlineanimal6009]

@@knoahbody69 Russians are warlords for a reason

[@reganator5000]

a combination of escalation and the reason all chemical weapons are banned- they aren't actually very good as weapons. High explosives effect similar areas with a similar payload, and by WW2 chemical weapon defense was so cheap that it was cost effective to just buy everyone in the country a set even without any evidence of enemy intent to use gas. I mean, gas masks are cheap enough that many major protests of recent years, there've been photos of civilians wearing gas masks to get round tear gas, and individual people don't have near the budget of an industrialised military. Politicians like to big up their cruelty so they can look good for conceding that they just don't work, but they started disposing of them even before there was any multi-lateral agreement. Which is not exactly how they reacted to nukes, which they see as waaay worse.

chemical weapons are supposed to be banned in 1925 - yet: In 1997, the National Research Council revealed that the US also used chemicals to test the potential of biological weapons in the 1950s. Zinc cadmium sulphide was dispersed by plane and sprayed over a number of cities, including St Louis in Missouri and Minneapolis in Minnesota. and they are still doing it today. FYI: The United States Gov has 336 bio-labs located across the globe, and even though Co-Vid was an accidental leak, Humanity should aware this was an engineered virus by both the USA+China for the purposes of bio-warfare, information that was heavily censored by major news networks.

Hollow points are legal to use in my place (Germany). It just makes sense for hunting, as you want the animal to die asap. I also never heard of a boar that took as many 9mm bullets as some people in the US from police force (side arms for hunters are only needed in case of a boar charging at you, as a bolt action rifle in .30-06 has stopping power, but is hard to aim quickly and accuratly close range). I guess as our self defense law only allows us to use deadly force in case of a potentially deadly attack (water proof cases), in a place where you are allowed to carry (for example home invasion, the person attacks you with a knife), that isn't really for discussion here.

No studies have ever been done to determine the effects on civilians and others concerning the use of hardball ammunition in warfare.

Now blinding weapons is a weird one, it’s not okay to blind somebody so you would have to shoot them instead?

[@ignaciopizarro2291]

The problem with blinding weapons is that they are easy to use at long distances on multiple targets, and blind thousands of people permanently in a very short time, with a relatively low tech and compact weapon. So it is not the magnitude of the individual effect but the very easy way it leads to mass casualties, both military and civilian, that makes it a technology to avoid. A lethal equivalent of the number of casualties a blinding laser can cause would be considered a weapon of mass destruction, which are also banned.

But I looked it up just now to see if it was the Geneva Convention or the Hague which banned the use. Come to find out...that is a myth. You can indeed use a .50 cal on troops! The idea that you can't has a story going back to Vietnam: Back in the Vietnam era, remote U.S Army posts in the jungle were consistently running out of 50-caliber ammo. The problem was that guards were smoking it off at anything (enemy troops, snakes, etc.) that twitched in the jungle in the middle of the night. This was a real problem, because they really needed that ammo in the event the enemy attacked in any sort of vehicle (engaging vehicles is the main purpose of 50-cal). So, the NCOs and company grade officers started ordering the troops to not use the 50-cal for anything other than vehicles. The purpose was to conserve that type of ammunition, but the story was that it violated the Geneva Convention. And for the next 50 years, the lawyers of the JAG Corps have been trying to stamp out that little military myth. It's perfectly legal to use 50-cal on enemy personnel. But if you are low on that type of ammo, it may be wise to save it for bigger targets.

Banning weapons that are going to cause massive civilian casualties in 21st century sounds like something logical and somethings that only authoritarian goverments or evil alliances would use. But what does it means Weapon is banned? What mechanism do people of the earth have to enforce that rule, and does this rule apply to everyone or does it just applies to countries that are not strong enough to ignore rules? For example, Cluster Weapons mentioned in 1:50 was used in the bombing of Yugoslavia by NATO. A number of domestic animals and civilians were killed by unactivated cluster bombs. To this day there is no evidence of any NATO member being punished for using a "Banned weapon".

[@drewishaf]

It's also important to recognize the fact that, while some types of weapons/ordnance may be prohibited in warfare, these same rules do not apply domestically. Chemical weapons (such as OC/pepper-spray and tear gas) and expanding projectiles might be banned in a military setting, these are commonly used by/against domestic actors. Police routinely use OC (pepper-spray) and tear gas to disperse crowds and as a compliance tool for people resisting arrest. Similarly, the "expanding projectile" ammunition is extremely common in use by citizens and police as the preferred option for self defense. The projectiles are designed so that they expand upon hitting flesh. This makes the projectile expend more of it's energy in the target. When projectiles pass directly through a target, the bullet did not impart all it's kinetic energy into the target. This means the bullet has enough force to potentially cause injury to people around/behind the target. In a civilian setting, those other people are likely random bystanders- innocent people that you don't intend to hurt. Since expanding projectiles are designed to increase the surface area acting on a target, the bullet uses more energy and is less likely to injure others around the target (especially those behind the target.)
