Non-Lethal Bursting Projectile Diversionary Device and Method of Use

Abstract

The disclosed non-lethal bursting projectile diversionary device is designed to be used as an offensive device by teachers and other users to deter, disorient, and potentially disarm a shooter or an aggressor. The device is non-lethal and contains a non-toxic composition adapted to plume into the air upon impact of the device with an aggressor or object. The device includes a housing that has a frangible outer cylindrical wall. An inner cavity extends from a proximal end of the housing to a distal end of the housing. The inner cavity is filled with a novel composition which includes dense fly ash, light fly ash, glass beads, and glitter. The device is launched toward an aggressor using an air propelled launcher, and the composition is expelled through a bursting of its spiral seams thereby creating a disorientating plume around the device and the aggressor which disorients and deters the aggressor.
