ABSTRACT:
Crowd control projectile and a method of ejecting flash and acoustic shock charges from said crowd control projectile. The projectile comprises a housing containing a fuse acting on a delay charge for igniting an ejector charge and at least one charge which can be ejected from the housing without destroying the housing. The projectile has a lid which is blown off by a slight pressure build-up in the container and at least one flash and acoustic shock charge arranged in a tube which is disposed in the housing together with an ejector and scatter charge which is ignited by the delay charge via a fuse cord. The crowd control projectile may also contain a smoke or irritant substance charge disposed in a tube or separate compartment of the projectile which is adapted to be ignited by said delay charge.
In an alternate embodiment of the crowd control projectile the upper half of the projectile is constructed as described hereinabove and is mechanically connected to a lower half. A delay charge is interposed between the upper and lower half and ignites the lower half after a predetermined period of time. The lower half in turn has an ejector charge which is ignited by the interposed delay charge which in turn ejects at least one charge from the lower half of the projectile.
