# Less-Lethal and Close Quarters *The Modern Armory, Firearms, Explosives, and Ammunition for Exodus NDS, 1939 to Today. Source: https://exodusnds.com/sourcebooks/modern-armory/less-lethal-and-close-quarters* Weapons for stopping someone without killing them, and the few modern hand weapons that the Fantasy Armory does not already cover.
