Net Launcher

A compact launcher, mounted at the wrist or shoulder, firing a tightly folded weighted net that expands rapidly in flight and envelops a target on impact. It is among the most reliably non-lethal ranged tools available, capable of restraining a target outright rather than merely wounding or slowing them.

Its effective range is short and a single canister is one-shot, so it tends to be reserved for a specific, planned capture rather than general combat use, and is largely ineffective against a target with a blade already in hand to cut free quickly.
