Less-than-lethal kinetic impact round

A less-than-lethal kinetic impact round, comprising:

• a cylindrical casing having an ignitable propellant powder charge disposed therein;
• and
• a projectile nested within the casing forwardly of the propellant powder charge, the projectile having a cylindrical elastomeric bag portion with a self-supporting cylindrical shape, partially filled with particulate load material therein and sealed at a back end thereof and with a deformable hollow nose cap forwardly attached to a front end of the cylindrical elastomeric bag portion, with a thicker forward impact zone relative to its thickness where it attaches to the cylindrical elastomeric bag portion.

A less-than-lethal kinetic impact round, comprising:

• a cylindrical casing having a metal base and a plastic hull annularly inserted into the base, an ignitable propellant powder charge rearwardly disposed in the base with a wad forwardly disposed as a barrier over the powder charge, and a percussion-actuated primer fuse on the rearward outside of the base for igniting the propellant powder charge;
• and
• a projectile nested within the plastic hull forwardly of the wad, the projectile having a cylindrical elastomeric bag portion of uniform material with a self-supporting cylindrical shape, partially filled with particulate load material therein and sealed at a back end thereof and a deformable nose cap forwardly attached to a front end of the cylindrical elastomeric bag portion, with a thicker forward impact zone relative to its thickness where it attaches to the cylindrical elastomeric bag portion.
