why aren’t tranquilizer guns used on humans during stand-offs

Like, instead of tasers, live ammunition, etc, why isn’t there some sort of investment in making tranquilizer guns to incapacitate criminals?

Likely the same problem they have with using Tasers.

Weight of the individual and natural tolerance can affect the effectiveness of the tranq dart. Which, like tasers could lead to the assailant aggravating the situation.

Tranquilizers, like tasers, don’t work like they show in hollywood. It takes time to take effect. The same goes for knocking someone out with chloroform.
