Oxymoron

I just read this phrase on Slashdot:

...a nonlethal weapon that shoots lightning bolts

To me, at least, developing a lightning gun that is nonlethal is either pointless, absurd or impossible. Take your pick.

PS - I reckon I'm going with "absurd".
PPS - I'll probably change my mind to "impossible" later.
