AN IMPROVED ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE IMMOBILIZATION WEAPON

摘要

An electrical immobilization device (10) with interchangeable cartridge modules (14). By changing modules, the device (10) can be configured for launching a single electrode pair projectile having different distance characteristics. The appearance of the device (10) can also be altered with a module change. Appearance may include a horizontally oriented gun style and a vertically oriented non-lethal style. A module (14) with two contacts (42, 44) spaced apart can be added to immobilize a target located immediately adjacent. The module (14) includes a dual laser sight to provide an accurate indication of the likely impact points for the remotely launched projectiles on a remote target. The device (10) contains an ejection sleeve (16). Actuation of this ejection slide (16) dispenses the fired cartridge to facilitate installation of the next cartridge for firing. The handle (12) contains a removable, chargeable battery pack. The handle (12) also contains a trigger (28) and safety switch.
