Definitions
- PROJECTILE PARTICULARLY AMMUNITION, FOR DEFENSE LAUNCHER
- the present invention relates to a projectile, in particular ammunition, for a defensive launcher, that is to say a projectile intended to disable an adversary without major risk of fatal injury.
- offensive launcher within the meaning of the present invention is meant a less lethal weapon, also called sub-lethal or reduced lethal or incapacitating weapon, that is to say a weapon designed for the target to be not killed or hurt heavily.
- This type of weapon is mainly used for policing riot dispersal and self-defense.
- less-lethal weapons are weapons systems that are explicitly designed and primarily used to incapacitate people or equipment, while minimizing fatalities or injuries. still permanent injuries to these same people as well as undesirable damage to its integrity and its environment.
- the present invention aims both at reducing the risk of irreversible injuries likely to be caused by a less-lethal projectile and at proposing a less-lethal projectile which is of reduced dimensions compared to the less-lethal projectiles according to the state of the art. art, in order to increase the number of less lethal projectiles available in a launcher or weapon and in particular in a magazine.
- the projectiles or ammunition described as "less-lethal" are used by the police to put an end to the disturbances on the public road, in particular during agitated demonstrations or riots.
- a first type of projectile is currently known in the state of the art: these projectiles, fired in the direction of the crowd but towards the sky, release suffocating or irritating gases in order to provoke the dispersal of the demonstrators.
- This first type of projectiles has the disadvantage of releasing their substance in a very large space, because of the nature of the shot and thus to inconvenience a large number of people on the scene, sometimes including people not involved in disturbances, or even the police when they take back possession of the ground previously occupied by the demonstrators at the time of the firing and whose air is largely charged with gas.
- a second type of projectile is known that is intended for law enforcement or the control of individuals: these so-called neutralization projectiles may be of various shapes, such as spherical or stick-shaped, and are generally made of rubber. or equivalent materials. These projectiles are intended to be fired in tight fire on protesters in order to neutralize them by the shock effect produced by the projectile due to the transformation of its kinetic energy during the contact on the target.
- the propellant charge of a munition that initially incorporates such a projectile is theoretically adapted so that the impact of the projectile on the demonstrator creates only bruises without danger to the life of the latter.
- the dimensions of the projectile are also an important parameter so that it can not penetrate without irreversible damage part of a human being, such as an eye.
- shaped projectiles and / or high deformability with a diameter at impact greater than that of an eyeball that is to say typically greater than or equal to 40 mm.
- these projectiles are made by molding a thermoplastic foam and have a substantially cylindrical shape whose length is of the order of 50 to 70 mm and whose diameter is of the order of 40 mm, with an end portion front shaped hemispherical cap.
- the general object of the invention is to meet part of this need.
- a projectile, in particular ammunition, for a defensive launcher comprising a body of elongated shape along a longitudinal central axis (X), the external surface of which is made of a material (x) deformable (s) adapted to absorb the energy of an impact on a target, the body having a central portion and two end portions each extending outwardly from said central portion; and each connected to the central portion, each of the end portions having one or more cross-sections greater than that of the central portion.
- Cross section means the section of the body considered orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the projectile.
- the projectile is preferably a single piece and the two end portions are identical.
- the tilting of the projectile according to the invention may be accelerated by an outgrowth on each end portion and which extends outwards along the longitudinal axis.
- the protrusion may be formed by a flat on a cylindrical section or by a lip projecting outwards.
- a projectile, in particular ammunition, for a defensive launcher comprising a body of elongated shape along a longitudinal central axis (X), the external surface of which is made of material (x ) deformable (s) adapted to absorb the energy of an impact on a target, the body having a central portion and two end portions each extending outwardly from said central portion and connected each at the central portion, each of the end portions having a cross section equal to that of the central portion, each end portion having an outgrowth extending outward along the longitudinal axis.
- X longitudinal central axis
- a projectile is defined in which the widened end portions and / or the protuberances create a large lever arm for the pressure aerodynamic exerted on the exit of weapon or launcher and thus rock the projectile, or in other words makes it rotate around its center of inertia. It should be noted here that this tilting or rotation must not be confused with the rotation at high speed about its longitudinal axis that can be subjected to a projectile according to the state of the art, in particular thanks to a striped tube in helix.
- the projectile according to the invention tilts around its center of inertia and then stabilizes with its length orthogonal to its trajectory, that is to say, parallel to the target, and therefore impact it according to this length, that is to say, according to its largest dimension.
- a projectile is obtained whose impact surface is important because defined by its length, which reduces the risk of penetration and injury to a person, compared to a ball or ball according to the state of the art that will always present a primary impact surface (contact with the target) equal to its diameter, not to mention the limited deformation of its structure (secondary impact surface).
- a primary impact surface contact with the target
- secondary impact surface the limited deformation of its structure
- Flash-ball it is made of foam, which can cause an impact on a living target a phenomenon cavitation, that is to say, a strong penetration and occupation of the space left by the retreat of the eyeball by the foam ball, and a rebound phenomenon with unwanted collateral damage.
- the projectile is initially set up in a weapon or defensive launcher so that its caliber is defined by its widest cross-section, it is possible to size said caliber according to standard gauges of less than 44 mm. .
- the cross sections of the central and end portions are preferably circular sections.

- the core may be metal, for example lead or a mixture of rigid plastics, preferably charged and densified.
- the envelope may be an aluminum foam or a cellular plastic material covered or not with a film. Whatever the chosen material, the envelope must be able to crash on impact without resuming its original shape. The desired impact force depends on the resistance to deformation of the shocks envelope, which is usually called "programmed resistance”.
- the projectile comprises at least one stabilizing stabilizer adapted to deploy from a passive position in which it extends along the body and an active position in which it extends in a transverse direction to the longitudinal axis (X).
