ABSTRACT:
A bean bag (15) installable in a cartridge for use as a less-lethal projectile in striking a target without killing or seriously injuring the target. A doubled-back open-sleeved configuration (27) of the fabric-constructed material includes a compartment in a shorter portion (33) interiorly disposed to a longer portion (36) of the opened-sleeved configuration (27), pellets (23) pre-measured by weight substantially filling the compartment (22). The length (26) of the open-sleeved configuration of the material for the bean bag15is determined by weight rather than by its length. The shorter portion (33) and longer portion (36) are fastened together as at (34) thereby determining the size of compartment22for the weighted pellets (23). A flowing structure (24) is included in the longer portion (36) to provide stabilization in flight of the bean bag15while a peripheral curl or roll (25) along the open end of the flowing (24) provides accuracy to the target as the bean bag15is propelled from its cartridge detonated in a gun weapon.
