Abstract
A less lethal projectile system is revealed. The less lethal projectile system includes an outer shell and a projectile. A rimfire blank mounting slot is arranged at a rear end of the outer shell and offsetting a center of the outer shell. A rimfire blank is mounted in the rimfire blank mounting slot. A firing pin of a launcher strikes an edge of the rimfire blank eccentrically to push the projectile out. When the projectile is fired and reached a target, the projectile is broken and effective compositions loaded therein is scattered. The projectile is less lethal and getting broken easily for allowing the effective compositions loaded in the projectile to be spread out within a certain range.
Claims10
A less lethal projectile system comprising an outer shell and a projectile;
- wherein the outer shell is a cylindrical case made of injection-molded polymer and including a projectile mounting area located on a front end of the outer shell and used for loading the projectile, a rimfire blank mounting slot arranged at a rear end of the outer shell and being offset from a longitudinal axis of the outer shell, and a rimfire blank mounted in the rimfire blank mounting slot;
- wherein a part of an edge of the rimfire blank is disposed in correspondence with and overlaps with a firing pin of a launcher so that the firing pin strikes the rimfire blank eccentrically;
- wherein the rimfire blank mounting slot communicates with the projectile mounting area;
- wherein the projectile includes a capsule tube and a sealing member;
- the capsule tube is an injection-molded polymer tube used for loading non-lethal compositions and having one end which is closed and rounded, and an opposite end open with an opening;
- the opening being closed with the sealing member;
- wherein the projectile is broken and the non-lethal compositions loaded therein is scattered when the firing pin of the launcher strikes the edge of the rimfire blank for firing the projectile and the projectile hits a target.
