Abstract
The present invention is a non-lethal shot gun round. The round includes an outer plastic hull inserted into a metal base to form a round casing. Inside the base is a propellent charge. Positioned over the propellent charge is a wad. Above the wad is an elastomeric bag filled with a packed particulate load. In addition a dye may be added into the elastomeric bag to allow marking of the targeted object.
Claims16
A non-lethal shot-gun round, comprising:
- a first cylindrical casing;
- an ignitable propellent charge rearwardly disposed with said first casing;
- a wad disposed as a barrier within said first casing forwardly disposed over said propellent charge;
- a sealed elastomeric bag composed of a uniform material disposed within said cylindrical casing forwardly located from said wad;
- a packed, high density particle load packed within said sealed elastomeric bag;
- a dye contained within said elastomeric bag;
- and
- a membrane separating said dye from said packed, high-density particle load within said elastomeric bag.

A non-lethal shot-gun round comprising:
- a first cylindrical metal base, said base having a closed bottom surface and an annularly open top;
- a plastic hull annularly inserted into said base through said annularly open top extending from the bottom of said base to a crimped end distal from said base;
- a power propellent charge located with said base;
- a wad located on top of said power charge, said wad confining said charge within said base;
- a primer located on the closed bottom surface of said base;
