A net gun is a non-lethal weapon designed to fire a net which entangles the target. Net guns have a long history of being used to capture wildlife, stray dogs and even aircraft.[1][2] A net gun that can subdue humans, and recently, Quadcopters have also been developed.

Historyedit
The net gun was invented by New Zealander Colin Brown in 1969 when he tried to sell the police a net gun to capture robbers.[3] His invention took off in the 70s but was only successful in subduing wildlife and dogs until recently when a net gun designed for law enforcement use was invented.[4]
