Guns and rifles have been the traditional modern weapon for protection and police or security force intervention. However, the bullets utilized are prevalently lethal. The technology described in this Proposal converts the standard gun and rifle bullets to smart non-lethal bullets. 0x9D These novel bullet types are non-lethal over their entire range, from muzzle to max range (100 m). This contrasts with present-day non-lethal ammunition, which can severely injure or even kill an individual if the target is at close range or if a bystander accidentally comes in the close line of fire. Furthermore, no customization of the firearms is necessary. The design of these bullets includes tailored explosives and propellants and a booster/projectile design with miniaturized mechanical components, where the energetic part or booster drops off on emergence from the gun, and a soft nose persists in its trajectory with high kinetic energy to impinge on the target with a strong blow or punch effect. The nose can be automatically deflated on target impingement, releasing malodorants, irritants, laughing gas or other chemical agents. Essentially this non-lethal weapon will allow the military to
Benefit: The conversion of standard bullets to non-lethal bullets has a great potential for rapid progress of non-lethal weapons by adaptation of standard bullets using the same guns and rifles already in the hands of the police forces, security forces, military etc. and requiring no alteration or customization of the standard weaponry. Such a technology will provide great benefits to the Security Forces since during their interventions incapacitation of individuals will be induced with no injury or body damage. Furthermore no new weaponry is required providing for a simple and smooth transition from lethal to non-lethal. Once the action/ idea of this new technology is widely presented, demonstrated and accepted by the Police Forces, Security Personnel and Security Forces, a vast ammunition market will open up. This provides for a great commercial opportunity, which can later extend to the entire ammunition world market. Different designs and optimizations can be developed to produce a new line of non-lethal bullets serving all needs and scopes.
