NON-LETHAL PROJECTILE SYSTEMS

摘要

A non-lethal projectile system for non-lethally inhibiting a living target, multi-functional launching devices for delivering the non-lethal projectile systems to a target, methods of assembling the non-lethal projectiles, and tactical methods of the use of the non-lethal projectile, the non-lethal projectile (10) consists of a projectile body (12) to be impacted with a target and a substance (11, 611) comprising a pepper-derived substance within the projectile body (12), wherein, upon impact with the target, the substance (11, 611) is dispersed on and about the target. In a variation, the projectile body (12) comprises a frangible projectile body, wherein upon impact with the target, the frangible projectile body ruptures, dispersing the substance (11, 611). In another variation, the substance (11, 611) comprises a powdered substance. In yet another variation, the pepper-derived substance comprises oleoresin capsicum or capsaicin.
