STUNNING

1).If you dont have stun weapons,  you can keep dumping smoke grenades on
them untill they drop - something thats especially good to do if you have
power or flying suits( they're immune to smoke, duh )

2) Though the stunning weapons have an obvious use in capturing aliens, they
can also be used to bugger up Chrysalids at terror sites.   Though these
enjoy turning civilians into zombies, if  you can get to the innocent first
you can stun them, making them useless to the Chrysalids.   The only problem
with this tactic is they tend to wake up "mad".       ****Note**** I dont
now if its true,  but i heard they can also become enemys after being
stunned ,  could someone please  reply to this .

Yep. They wake up and register as enemies- i.e. You have to stun or kill
them in order to win the battle. The first time I did it, I was running
around looking for this last enemy that I could see on my map screen, but
all I could find in the game window was this dumb civilian. Note that
although they may be mad, they still can't attack.
