ABSTRACT:
A rotatable airfoil projectile comprising a hollow closed circular ring wing surrounding a central open area with a non-lethal riot control agent positioned within the hollow ring. The projectile consists of an aerodynamic lifting body of a thick ring wing geometry which uses spin imparted to it from a launching means for its gyroscopic stability. The combination of aerodynamic stability characteristics and high spin rate (i.e. above 2,000 rmp) results in a flat trajectory and extended range capability.
The projectile ruptures on impact due to centrifugal and impact forces to distribute the non-lethal riot control payload about the target area. The sub-sonic launch velocity avoids bodily harm due to impact with a person even at point-blank range.
