Embodiment Construction

[0040] In operation, a fired bullet travels forward through the barrel towards the disclosed device. The bullet then exits the barrel of the firearm, where a portion of the excess gas and energy generated during ejection is harmlessly expelled, and immediately enters the mounting pin of the attached device. As the bullet leaves the mounting pin and is captured in the bullet catcher portion of the projectile, the bullet decelerates based on the increased mass between the projectile and the bullet catcher.

[0041] The remaining kinetic energy of the bullet is transferred to the projectile, which is propelled forward, separates from the mounting pin and moves forward along the same line of travel as the fired bullet. The projectile is now traveling at a lower velocity and with less kinetic energy than when the bullet exited the barrel of the firearm. The relationship between velocity and kinetic energy is accounted for in the design of adjustable vent washers and vent holes on ...

Abstract

Improvements in a less-lethal force device are disclosed. The less-lethal projectile device generally comprising a projectile that is mated to a docking base by way of a spherical shaped projectile ball in a retaining spherical sockets or base. The projectile ball may include a locating / orienting that locates the projectile ball in the docking base. The retaining socket has one or more wings that partially wrap around the projectile ball. The material, thickness and splits in the socket adjust the retention force placed on the projectile ball. The projectile captures a fired bullet and is propelled along the original path of the bullet at a less lethal velocity. The disclosed system results in converting a normally lethal weapon into a less-lethal blunt impact system.

Description

technical field [0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] Not applicable. [0003] This invention relates to improvements in non-lethal force devices. More specifically, disclosed are accessories for use with law enforcement firearms to convert lethal projectiles to non-lethal force projectiles. Background technique [0004] Non-lethal weapon systems are well known in the art. Most non-lethal weapons require a full weapon with the projectiles included in the weapon. Examples include rubber bullets, electronic restraint devices, etc. Many existing non-lethal systems do not allow the immediate use of non-lethal weapons by law enforcement officers. [0005] Non-lethal devices are designed for use in critical situations, such as outdoor crowd control operations, or when an assailant must be restrained in a residence or public place, including public transportation. Few devices in the prior art can be used in such a wide range of environments, allowing them t...
