Definitions

  • This utility model is an immobilizing projectile firing device that is magnetically attached to virtually all of the short-range weapons within the area where the projectile is fired, trapping the projectile in a muzzle and obtaining several functions from the moment of firing, for example: reducing the lethality of the shot by retaining the projectile, increasing its mass, its volume and reducing its speed, since this device utilizes the kinetic energy of the projectile to compress an internal chamber, which, when reduced in volume, violently forces the release of a secondary projectile due to the effect of air compression contained in that chamber, such as: electronic incapacitation modules, disabling chemical capsules, tranquilizer darts or simply considerable mass bodies designed to only hit the target in a non-lethal way, always utilizing the inertia and kinetic energy of a potentially lethal shot, offering a wide range of possibilities to the user without modifying the weapon or its ammuniti on in any way.
  • the invention proposed here is a medium attached to any active short-range weapon, whereas in the American document it is confined to a medium that is introduced within the shotgun or el ectrifi ed weapon that propel s it at the target.
  • the main difference between the invention presented here and the American document lies in the fact that the invention proposed herein is a means capable of attaching itself to any active short-range weapon on the part of the user in a simple and quick way, while in the American document it is limited to a medium that is inserted into a shotgun.
  • the invention recommended here is also differentiated by the fact that, being an external element or means, it is the agent that makes the decision regarding its use when necessary; in addition, it is not necessary to modify active weapons of state bodies and security, so agents will not have to carry two differentiated weapons and will not need a high economic disbursement, since it will only be necessary to buy the device in order to employ it.
  • the solution proposed in the American patent also differs in that its immobilizing means will be exclusively an electric shock, whereas in the case of the invention proposed here it may be either an electric shock, a paralyzing gas or any other similar means.
  • the technical problem this invention solves is obtaining a device that can be attached to a firearm (mainly a short-range weapon) to fire an immobilizing projectile at a target and to paralyze the target reducing the risk of permanent damage upon impact
  • the immobilizing projectile launcher which is the object of this utility model, is characterized by the fact that it comprises a neodymium crown or ring, which is the same as a non-permanent bond between the weapon and the device.
  • It also includes a body, which incorporates a series of fins that open up to stabilize and slow it down once it is in free flight so that the secondary projectile and the body itself move at different but parallel speeds and trajectories.
  • the device can be attached to any type of short-range weapon, where, thanks to its magnetic union, a sufficiently durable union is generated so there is no risk of possible incidents during its use. This include detachments due to violent movements when the agent is under stress.
  • the user will be able to convert a potentially lethal shot into a shot of reduced or negligible lethality because, unlike conventional electric pistols, the shot only causes a controlled shock and does not allow the user the possibility of increasing or decreasing the intensity of the discharge.
  • the user will be able to dismantle the device and use their short-range weapon in a conventional manner. This means the user is properly armed in critical situations.
  • the use of the device presented here will allow the user's weapon to not go unused after having used it against a target, since the weapon is completely free to be used against another target under normal use. This can be vital in dangerous operations, where the user decides to use the immobilizer immediately upon encountering a target, and if that did't not enough, or there are other targets, they can use their active weapon normally (or by attaching it to another device such as the one presented here).
  • the immobilizing projectile firing device which is the object of this document, is characterized by the definition of a body (1) that attaches to a weapon (2) through its crown (3) or ring made of a high-performance magnetic material, such as neodymium or alnico.
  • the body incorporates a series of fins (4) that will open up to slow down the body (1) once it has been fired from the weapon (2).
  • the body (1) presents a series of strips or fibres of a ballistic material (5) such as, for example, Dyneema ⁇ or similar, housed in an internal cavity (6) that slows down the propulsion of a primary projectile (7) fired in the weapon (2) using a dock-like effect
  • a ballistic material (5) such as, for example, Dyneema ⁇ or similar
  • the action of the primary projectile (7) in the cavity (6) will activate the device, and when the fibres (5) have completely contracted, the propulsion of the secondary projectile (8) will be activated and released to be able to act against the target.
  • the secondary projectile (8) is located at the opposite end of the crown or ring (3) which joins the body (1) to the weapon (2).
  • This secondary projectile (8) may be an electric shock, a paralyzing gas, a dart, or a similar medium.
