Abstract: A cartridge assembly that includes a non-lethal projectile and a carrier configured for retaining and launching the non-lethal projectile. The carrier includes a housing including a combustion chamber, at least one escape aperture, a primer, and a case connected to the housing. The case encases the non-lethal projectile. The case and the housing collectively define a launch chamber that is fluidly connected to the at least one escape aperture. The launch chamber is configured for launching the non-lethal projectile out of the case. The at least one escape aperture is configured for metering pressurized gas from the combustion chamber to the launch chamber for launching the non-lethal projectile.

Abstract: A training method and apparatus are disclosed. The training method may include converting a firearm capable of firing live ammunition to a pneumatic training device incapable of firing live ammunition. The training method may further include cycling a pneumatic training device through one or more cycles. Each of the cycles may simulate an actual firing of the firearm. Each of the cycles may also include triggering a trigger assembly of the pneumatic training device, using a charge of a pressurized gas to reset the trigger assembly, and advancing a counter of the pneumatic training device. After a certain number of cycles have been completed, a next cycle may be attempted, but not completed. Accordingly, the training method may enable a user to safely and realistically practice reloading, jam or malfunction clearing, or the like.

Abstract: A pneumatic engine for metering or controlling of flow of compressed gas. is disclosed. In certain embodiments, the flow may be used to sound a whistle. The engine may include a body comprising a first chamber having an exit aperture, a second chamber having an entrance aperture, and a bolt aperture connecting the first chamber to the second chamber. A bolt may be positioned within the bolt aperture and extending into the first chamber and into the second chamber. The bolt may comprise a conduit extending therewithin. The conduit may place the first chamber in fluid communication with the second chamber. The bolt may selectively travel within the body through a range of motion. The range of motion may comprise a first position wherein the bolt blocks the exit aperture and a second position wherein the bolt does not block the exit aperture.
