ABSTRACT:

The present invention concerns non-lethal ammunition.
The present invention applies in particular, although not exclusively, to ammunition for dispersing a substance having an incapacitating effect.
The aim of the present invention is to propose new non-lethal ammunition, for example with incapacitating effect, that is reliable, simple in design, and economic.
This aim is achieved in accordance with the present invention by non-lethal ammunition comprising a projectile which includes:
a body which houses:
a container adapted to generate a pressurized gas, and
a nosecone associated with a striker adapted to enable an active agent to be dispersed on impact,
wherein the body is placed in a case and the container or the striker is disposed on a slide guided to slide in the body, means are provided to prevent movement of the slide before the body leaves the case to prevent movement towards each other of the striker and the container, and the body of the projectile comprises a plurality of orifices disposed around its axis to enable the active agent to be dispersed omnidirectionally.
