Less-lethal force device impact ratio

摘要

Improvements in a less-lethal force device are disclosed. The less-lethal projectile device generally comprising a projectile, such as a rubber-encapsulated metal block, that is mated to a docking base by way of a mounting pins or base. The projectile may be made with a cavity located in its rearward section for enabling the projectile to fit onto the mounting pins portion of the docking base through compression or interference fit. The projectile captures a fired bullet and is propelled along the original path of the bullet at a less lethal velocity. The disclosed system results in converting a normally lethal weapon into a less-lethal blunt impact system. The mounting pins are configured to provide clearance to the sighting mechanism on the firearm.

主权项

1. A less-lethal force device comprising:
a docking station having a rear portion and a forward mounting portion, the rear portion being adapted to removably attach the base to the barrel of a firearm and receive a fired bullet from a firearm along a path defined by a travel of a bullet; said forward mounting portion having mounting pins that are forward of said docking station for clear passage of said bullet along a path defined by a travel of said bullet; a projectile having an interior cavity and enveloping said mounting pins of said forward portion along said path defined by a travel of a bullet; said projectile being configured to capture said fired bullet into said interior cavity in a bullet trap, and detach from said forward portion mounting pins as a result of kinetic energy transferred to said projectile from said fired bullet, and be accelerated along said path defined by a travel of said bullet to impart a less-lethal force upon a target, and said projectile is selected from a group comprising of a flash bang, a smoke grenade, a bullet grenade, a bullet propelled grenade (BPG), a bullet propelled device (BPD), a grenade launcher, a tear gas grenade, a door breaching device and Taser prongs.
