Abstract: A projectile weapon, preferably adapted to fire non- and less-lethal munitions. An elongate tubular body includes a barrel portion and a receiver portion, with a breech assembly disposed in the receiver portion adjacent the barrel portion. A handle is affixed to and extends outward from the receiver portion. A firing mechanism is disposed within the receiver portion adjacent the breech assembly. A trigger is adapted to slide in a longitudinal direction along the elongate tubular body. The trigger extends outward from the receiver portion in a direction generally parallel to the handle. The trigger is slidable between at least a deployed position and a retracted position. In the deployed position, the trigger assembly is adapted to actuate the firing mechanism. In the retracted position, the trigger face is recessed into the handle.

Abstract: The Less Lethal (TM) police baton invention, which is capable of firing projectiles, is presented. The baton has a front barrel body, a rear breech body pivotally coupled to the front barrel body, a handle perpendicularly secured to the rear breech body, a locking mechanism adapted to lock the front barrel body to the rear breech body. It also has a firing mechanism positioned inside the rear breech body and adapted to trigger explosions of the projectiles. It has a safety trigger mechanism coupled to the firing mechanism, the trigger mechanism being adapted to be positioned horizontally for locking. The trigger can be unlocked and positioned vertically for triggering wherein a pulling stop of the firing mechanism is adapted to be urged forward by the trigger mechanism for triggering the firing mechanism.
