Tasers, which use long wire tentacles to deliver electric shocks that produce intense muscle spasms, as well as other technologies, including guns that shoot giant nets, guns that shoot rubber bullets, and lights that can temporarily blind a suspect, are known as .

Less-lethal weapons.

Explanation:

Less-Lethal weapons are those weapons that are less likely to kill any living being. They are less harmful than the conventional weapons. Less-lethal weapons are also known as non-lethal weapons, less-than lethal weapons, non-deadly weapons or pain-inducing weapons.  

These weapons are used in the cases where using of lethal weapons is not permitted and to make the situation less chaotic.

Taser, as described above, is a weapon that is used to deliver electric shocks and thus do not possess the ability to kill a living being. So, it is a less-lethal weapon.  

Thus, the correct answer is less-lethal weapon.
