Answer 1

They already exists. The Russians used fentynal in the Moscow Dubrovka Theater incident in 2002. Ketamine is also available.

Both create a neuroleptic effect -- induces state in which reflexes and muscle tone remain intact but patient is tranquilized, sedated, mentally detached, and indifferent

Answer 2

Cute, but not feasible. ADHD is a problem for children and adults who have it, but that doesn't mean they can't function in a lot of environments. Military weapons require one of the following characteristics:

A) Killing or injuring the target to the extent that it cannot return to a combat role or act in support of others in a combat role. (Convential weapons)
B) Disabling the target's ability to function in a combat environment without protective gear (gas, microwave emitter, sonic defense, mines, etc...)
C) Destroying the target's ability to respond to combat or orders (disease agents, nerve agents, blinding, deafening, immobilizing, etc.)

ADHD bomb would fall under C. But like the 'gay' bomb, it's not very practical.

Answer 3

What if the chemical weapon affects your side?

Answer 4

Who knows, the military may already have it.

Answer 5

Still doesn't beat the Gay Bomb.
