Sorry, but no. You are adding words, otherwise it would be "less chances than lethal" and that wouldn't make any sense anyway, because bullets aren't 100%
No, he is correct. "Less than lethal" is an accepted term that is in use in Law Enforcement, and applies to a wide range of weapons, from impact weapons to weapons that use electricity. It is understood that there is a CHANCE, however small, that the use of the weapon can kill the target. Rubber bullets are a good example: properly used, they will only incapacitate the target. There have been cases of improper use (for example, headshots) that have caused a lethal injury.
Hope this helps---it can be a somewhat confusing topic.
