Do you mean superior weapons such as gas grenades?

Guns are the worst, they need line of sight, overpenetrate, protective measures are ineffective, and they might not take the actual target either.

(Only tasers are worse.)

Only tasers are worse at killing people. They're perfectly adequate for their intended use; allowing an officer to halt a person who presents a real danger to the officer, when alternatives are not available.
