One practical limit on the use of firearms was that they were usually lethal. While it was possible to use a firearm to incapacitate rather than kill, this could be done only by inflicting serious injury and pain. While there were forms of ammunition called "less than lethal" intended for incapacitation, such as rubber bullets, they still inflicted great pain, and were lethal under certain circumstances. {{fact}} For this reason, individuals such as [[the Doctor]] and [[Sarah Jane Smith]] often refused to use them on moral grounds ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who (TV story)|Doctor Who]]'', ''[[The Stolen Earth (TV story)|The Stolen Earth]]'', ''[[Journey's End (TV story)|Journey's End]]'', ''[[The End of Time (TV story)|The End of Time]]'', ''[[The Doctor's Daughter (TV story)|The Doctor's Daughter]]'', ''[[Invasion of the Bane (TV story)|Invasion of the Bane]]'') — although there were exceptions.
