    Also worth noting:

    CS gas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CS_gas#History
    rubber bullets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_bullet
    etc etc, all developed in the UK. To be specifically used on civilians.

    The kicker there is that while CS gas was developed in the Porton Down chemical weapons development site, they made an arbitrary distinction for it being a 'riot-control agent', among others.

    They are still chemical weapons.

    Developed by chemical weapons labs.

      CS gas
      The compound 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (also called o-chlorobenzylidene malononitrile; chemical formula: C10H5ClN2), a cyanocarbon, is the defining component of the lachrymatory agent commonly called CS gas, a tear gas used as a riot control agent, and is banned for use in warfare pursuant to the 1925 Geneva Protocol. Exposure causes a burning sensation and tearing of the eyes to the extent that the subject cannot keep their eyes open, and a burning irritation of the mucous membranes of the nose, mouth and throat, resulting in profuse coughing, nasal mucus discharge, disorientation, and difficulty breathing, partially incapacitating the subject. CS gas is an aerosol of a volatile solvent (a substance that dissolves other active substances and that easily evaporates) and 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile, which is a solid compound at room temperature. CS gas is generally accepted as being a non-lethal weapon. History CS gas was first synthesized by two Americans, Ben Corson and Roger Stoughton, at Middlebury College in Vermont in 1928, and the chemical's name is...

      Rubber bullet
      Rubber bullets (also called rubber baton rounds) are a type of baton round. Despite the name, rubber bullets typically have either a metal core with a rubber coating, or are a homogeneous admixture with rubber being a minority component. Although they are considered a less lethal alternative to metal projectiles, rubber bullets can still cause fatal injuries as well as other serious injuries such as blindness or other permanent disabilities. Like other similar projectiles made from plastic, wax, and wood, rubber bullets may be used for short range practice and animal control, but are most commonly used in riot control and to disperse protests. Rubber bullets were invented by the British Ministry of Defence for riot control purposes in Northern Ireland during the Troubles, and were first used there in 1970. Rubber projectiles have largely been replaced by other materials, as rubber tends to bounce uncontrollably. Composition and physical properties Analysis of the composition of the "rubber" pellets used by Chilean police shows that 80% of the pellets...
