Remote activation of a magazine for a projectile launcher

A method comprising:

• detecting, by a handle of a projectile launcher, an activation event;
• in response to the handle being electrically coupled to a magazine:
• deploying, by the handle, a projectile from the magazine;
• and
• transmitting, by the handle, an activation signal to the magazine, wherein the activation signal comprises instructions for the magazine to provide a stimulus signal through the projectile, and wherein the activation signal comprises a local signal and a remote signal;
• and
• in response to the handle being electrically decoupled from the magazine:
• transmitting, by the handle, the activation signal to the magazine, wherein the activation signal comprises the remote signal.

A conducted electrical weapon comprising:

• a magazine comprising:
• a signal generator;
• and
• a plurality of projectiles;
• and
• a handle comprising:
• a propulsion module;
• a processing circuit;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processing circuit, wherein the tangible, non-transitory memory comprises instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processing circuit, cause the processing circuit to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a first activation event while the magazine is electrically coupled to the handle;
• deploying, by the propulsion module, a first projectile from the plurality of projectiles;
• transmitting a first activation signal to the magazine, wherein the first activation signal comprises a local signal and a first remote signal, and wherein in response to receiving the first activation signal the signal generator is configured to provide a stimulus signal through the first projectile;
• detecting a next activation event while the magazine is electrically decoupled from the handle;
• and
• transmitting a next activation signal to the magazine, wherein the next activation signal comprises a next remote signal, and wherein in response to receiving the next activation signal the signal generator is configured to provide a next stimulus signal through the first projectile.
