[MCU] *CIVIL WAR SPOILERS* Question about a scene in the big team battle.....

When the two sides fought, it seems like they weren't going 100% "kill the other side." Black Widow and Hawkeye were reaffirming each other that they were still friends, Iron Man and War Machine didn't just shoot up Ant-Man when he became giant, etc..

However, Vision shot a beam at Falcon as he was flying away. Falcon dodged it and the beam was strong enough to destroy part of War Machine's insanely durable armor. Would that beam have killed Falcon if it had hit? If so, why was Vision using lethal force?

Iron Man told Vision about Falcon and said to "turn him into a glider".  

The plan was, presumably, to destroy the wings' rocket booster.  Falcon would have then been forced to glide back to earth.  

However, whatever Vision's beam weapon is, it's not a laser because it travels slower than the speed of light.  Falcon was able to detect it (or anticipate it) and drop out of its path before it struck.
