Abstract
A cartridge for use in non-lethal applications comprising an anterior portion and a posterior portion. The posterior portion includes a recycling mechanism, which can be initiated upon activation of a primer, and the anterior portion has a nose portion which is suitable for receiving a projectile. The cartridge also includes a source of energetic material which can be activated by the primer to cause propulsion of the projectile from the cartridge. The energetic material source is disposed toward the anterior end of the cartridge and can be conveniently initiated by the shock or pressure wave associated with propellant gases used to propel a moveable member against a breech block of a gun.
