Abstract: A non-lethal projectile having a nose component, a driving band adjacent the nose component and a body component wherein one or more of the projectile components comprises densified materials such as elastomers and foam that incorporate a dense filler material. The dense filler material is a heavy metal powder. The body component of the projectile includes a stabilizing component such as fins, drag stabilizing tails or streamers, or rifling bands for spin stabilization.

Abstract: An ammunition cartridge for an electrical discharge weapon having at least one dart positioned within a dart chamber in the housing. The cartridge has at least one adjustable barrel for selection between close and extended ranges and a joint and port for adjusting pressure in the barrel. In another form the cartridge has two fixed barrels and a retractable deflection ramp for selection between close and extended ranges.

Abstract: A non-lethal impact munition or projectile having a nose composed of a frangible, rigid, polymer foam material such that the nose crushes upon impact with a target to disperse energy, thereby reducing the kinetic energy transferred to the target. Most preferably, the munition or projectile is provided with a cavity to retain a payload, such as marker agents, lacrimators, irritants, inflammatory agents, odorants or inert powders, such that the payload is laterally dispersed upon impact to further dissipate energy transferred to the target.
