Whats the difference between deadly and lethal force?

Deadly force is where I hit you in the head with a pipe. It might kill you, or it might not.

Lethal force is where I put a .357 magnum to your temple and pull the trigger. It is going to kill you.

I am not sure that this distinction makes any difference at all, but that is the difference.
