Description
- The present invention relates to a non-lethal system for readily deploying a non-lethal weapon measure non-lethal system readily initiating a dispersion. More specifically, the present invention relates to accurately actuating a non-lethal weapon system whilst minimizing health and danger risks to the person or animal against which the weapon system is deployed and minimizing health and danger risks to the surrounding individuals or animals.
- The ability to actuate a non-lethal weapon safely and readily has remained substantially unobtainable by systems known in the art.
- Non-lethal weapons are used by civilians and official personnel in policing and combat situations to limit the escalation of conflict where employment of lethal force is prohibited or undesirable, where rules of engagement require minimum casualties, or where policy restricts the use of conventional force.
- Non-lethal weapons may be used by conventional military in a range of missions across the force continuum. They may also be used by military police, by United Nations forces, and by occupation forces for peacekeeping and stability operations. Non-lethal weapons may also be used to channelize a battlefield, control the movement of civilian populations, or to limit civilian access to restricted areas (as they were utilized by the USMC's 1st Marine Expeditionary Force in Somalia in 1995). When used by police forces domestically, similar weapons, tactics, techniques and procedures are often called “less lethal” or “less than lethal” and are employed in riot control, prisoner control, crowd control, refugee control, and self-defense.
- Until the development of non-lethal weapons, police officers around the world had few if any non-lethal options for riot control. Common tactics used by police that were intended to be non-lethal or less lethal included a slowly advancing wall of men with batons, officers on horses trained to deal with policing situations, or a charge into a riot using the flats of sabers. Other approaches known in the art included shotguns with lower-powered cartridges, “salt shells”, using bean-bag rounds and ricocheting the shot off of the ground. In the mid-20th century, with the integration of fire-control systems into major cities, police found that high-pressure fire hoses could be effective in dispersing a crowd (the use of water cannons and fire trucks has remained a common nonlethal tactic to disperse riots). Trained police dogs were also commonly used to scare and disperse rioters and apprehend individuals. In the 1980s the development of the high-tensile plastics Kevlar and Lexan revolutionized personal armor and shields, and led to new tactics for riot squads and other special-purpose teams. Officers could often stand up against violent rioters throwing dangerous projectiles.
- The introduction of effective non-lethal chemical agents such as tear gas, offensive odor canisters, non-lethal impact rounds such as rubber bullets and “bean bag” flexible baton rounds, riot tactics were modified to rely again on a slowly advancing wall, with supporting officers firing non-lethal ordnance into the crowd to discourage advance.
- Nevertheless, many of the weapon systems and/or ordnance they employ, have proven to be cumbersome, ineffective in very close range, inept for regular Law Enforcement work, inept for self-defense purposes and highly dangerous and/or toxic including possible mutagenic effects, carcinogenic effects, sensitization, cardiovascular and pulmonary toxicity, neurotoxicity, as well as possible human fatalities and thus there is a latent risk in a non-lethal weapon with a wide dispersion of substances on a large and varied population.
- Several attempts have been made to overcome the latent drawbacks and deficiencies of the non-lethal weapons known in the art.
- One such attempt was the provision of Pepper spray (typically in pressurized) canisters, which are often small enough to be carried or concealed in a pocket or purse. Other attempts have including concealed pepper spray in items such as rings, as well as use of pepper spray projectiles available, which can be fired from a paintball gun.
- Obviously, harmful effects of no lethal agents can be mitigated by lowering concentration of agents therein having the drawback of decreased effectiveness against the intended target.
- In use against demonstrators, canisters often also contain dyes, either visible or UV-reactive, to mark an attacker's skin and/or clothing to enhance identification by police.
- Nevertheless, pepper spray is banned for use in war by Article 1.5 of the Chemical Weapons Convention, which bans the use of all riot control agents in warfare whether lethal or less-than-lethal. In the US, when pepper spray is used in the workplace, OSHA requires a pepper spray “Material Safety Data Sheet” (MSDS) be available to all employees.
- Therefore, there is an unmet need for, and it would be highly useful to have, a reliable and effective accurate non-lethal system minimizing health and danger risks to the person or animal against which the non-lethal system is deployed and minimizing health and danger risks to the surrounding individuals or animals, without impairing the incapacitating capabilities of the non-lethal system against the intended target.
- The present invention is an effective and accurate non-lethal system minimizing health and danger risks to the person or animal against which the non-lethal system is deployed and minimizing health and danger risks to the surrounding individuals or animals, without impairing the incapacitating capabilities of the non-lethal system against the intended target.
- According to the present invention, there is provided a non-lethal system including a hand held firearm including a frame, and a slide, a dispersing container accommodated by the hand held firearm, at least one agent situated in the dispersing container, and an actuator attached to or integrally formed with the hand held firearm, wherein the dispersing container is responsive to the actuator being activated.
