A less-lethal ammunition comprising:
- a case having a first end, a second end, and an interior;
- a primer located at the first end;
- a powder charge located in the interior, adjacent to the primer;
- a gas seal located in the interior, adjacent to the powder charge;
- a buffer material located in the interior, adjacent to the gas seal, wherein the buffer material comprises walnut grit;
- a first projectile located in the interior, adjacent to the buffer material, wherein the first projectile is formed from a weighted plastisol that comprises plastisol having a weighting substance dispersed within the plastisol;
- a first over-the-shot card located in the interior, adjacent to the first projectile;
- a second projectile located in the interior, adjacent to the first over-the-shot card, wherein the second projectile is formed from the weighted plastisol;
- and
- a second over-the-shot card located in the interior, adjacent to the second projectile and adjacent to the second end.
