A projectile syringe has a barrel, a spring loaded power assembly with an attached plunger, a notched plunger shaft terminating in a knob and a breach plug secured to the barrel. The spring loaded power assembly has a cylindrical sleeve with four dissected fingers, two projections on the sleeve's outer cylindrical surface securing a compressed compression spring. A cylindrical weight is captured within the sleeve by four fingers. The user attaches a needle and draws a desired amount medicament. The plunger shaft is broken flush against the breech plug. The user attaches a stabilizing tail to the breech plug end and the projectile syringe is aimed at a target animal. Stopping the syringe displaces the cylindrical weight, allowing the four fingers to displace. The proximal projections move inward, allowing the compressed compression spring to expand to the fixed breech plug, pushing the piston to deliver medicament to the animal. |

1. A projectile syringe system, comprising:
a) a syringe appointed to be fired from a delivery gun towards a target animal for delivering injectable medicament or tranquilizer, said delivery gun comprising a spring, compressed gas or explosive fired gun; b) said syringe having an extended needle receiving portion, so that when a needle enters the animal on impact a rear needle attachment feature does not penetrate the skin of the animal; c) a plunger shaft of the syringe that connects to a medicament expelling plunger having a plurality of notches at regular intervals so that the shaft can be broken off, after a desired amount of the medicament is drawn into the syringe, at a breech plug location that fits securely on a proximal end of said syringe; d) a spring loaded power assembly having a cylindrical sleeve, the exterior of which carries a compressed compression spring held between two projections, a first projection being located at a proximal end and a second projection being located at a distal end and having a central aperture, the cylindrical sleeve being dissected from a proximate end to thereby form four fingers extending about three quarters of the length of the cylindrical sleeve; e) said plunger being secured to said spring loaded power assembly; f) a slidable cylindrical weight with a central aperture larger than the plunger shaft diameter, the weight being held within the cylindrical sleeve aperture by four fingers having interior projections and having a close fitting tolerance between an outer surface of the cylindrical weight and said interior projections, thereby holding proximal end projections to secure the compressed compression spring at a proximal end; g) the slidable weight being adapted to maintain substantially the same velocity as the projectile syringe prior to impact on an animal, the projectile syringe being caused to decelerate upon impact, whereupon the slidable weight is moved towards the needle by inertial forces, releasing the proximal end finger's projection towards an interior of the cylindrical sleeve, thus releasing and allowing the compressed compression spring wound on the outer surface of the cylindrical sleeve to expand to its full length; h) the compression spring having a length greater than the overall length of a barrel of the injection syringe, and being about 1.2 to 1.5 times the barrel length so that, upon expansion, the compression spring pushes against a breech plug inserted at a proximal end of the barrel; and i) said compression spring pushing the plunger towards the needle to thereby release the medicament or tranquilizer into the body of the animal that has been targeted. |
