Does directing tear gas and rubber bullets into a crowd do any lasting harm/damage? How?

    Tear gas and an allergy could result in death.
    A rubber bullet if hit in exactly the wrong place also could result in death.

    But generally No.

    Thank you for your reply m2c. I did not know that. Can a rubber bullet pierce the skin? Happy Sunday m'dear! :)

    Anything can peirce the skin with enough force behind it. I would assume the firearms are adjusted so as not to have that force.

    I imagine a rubber bullet could easily destroy an eye even if "only" causing a deep bruise elsewhere.
