<p>A baton projectile comprises a relatively thin case 1 of low density polyethylene, and a core 2 of a soft material such as a thermoplastic gel modified rubber. An air gap 4 is optionally formed at the front end of the baton projectile between the core 2 and the case 1. Upon impact with a target at acceptable, low level, forces the impact shockwave does not cause unacceptable injury to the target. At higher impact forces, the case 1 ruptures and the core 2 spreads out to radially disperse the excess impact energy and to present a larger impact area to the target so that the risk of unacceptable penetration and trauma injury to the target is reduced. <IMAGE></p> |
