Definitions
- the invention relates to a non-lethal weapon, which shoots out bullets with adjustable kinetic energy.
- non-lethal weapons are used by police forces to incapacitate people, but in no way to kill them. Typical distances for the use of such weapons are 10 to 100 m. Ammunition that kills a person, for example, at a distance of 80 m, but does not kill, is fatal at a distance of 20 m.
- ammunition with different propellant charges is used for different distance ranges. If people are attacked at different distances, the type of ammunition must be changed. This requires an ample supply of ammunition. Because of the different ammunition, it can be tuations are confused with the ammunition, so that in the worst case, people can be killed.
- the invention has for its object to provide a non-lethal weapon that requires only one type of ammunition for different range ranges.
- the weapon according to the invention has a barrel for firing bullets, a sighting device for detecting targets and a distance measuring device for determining the target distance, as well as a control device.
- the control device changes the shot energy as a function of a distance signal which is sent from the distance measuring device to the control device. Since the shot energy is changed, one type of ammunition can be used for all distances. Deadly shots cannot be fired accidentally, since the control device adjusts the impact energy of the projectile to the respective distance as a function of the distance signal.
- At least one outflow valve is provided in the barrel, through which, depending on the valve position, part of the pressure generated by the propellant charge, which drives the projectile out of the barrel, can escape.
- the outflow valve is opened or closed by the control device depending on the measured target distance.
- the position of the valve allows the propellant charge Regulate the generated pressure continuously from full pressure (closed valve) to low pressure (wide open valve).
- the shot energy can be infinitely or graduated to the respective one. Target distance to be adjusted.
- the balancing projectile can also be programmed by the control device to set the shot energy.
- the floor has e.g. several propellant charges, which can be selected individually by the control device. If the target is in the lower range, only one propellant charge is ignited. If the destination is further away, several propellant charges are activated by the control device, depending on the distance.
- the sighting device is preferably also set by the control device, so that the longitudinal axis of the barrel and the line of sight of the sighting device intersect at one point on the target.
- the tracking of the sighting device as a function of the distance of the target has the advantage that precise sighting is possible for all distances.
- the distance measuring device can be a laser rangefinder, the wavelength used being in the visible range. This makes it possible to use the distance measuring device as a sighting device.
- the impact energy of the projectile can be changed on a target that is fixed at a certain distance. So it can Impact energy can be adapted, for example, to the clothing of the person who is to be incapacitated.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of a non-lethal weapon.
- the non-lethal weapon 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a barrel 2 for firing balancing projectiles 3.
- a distance measuring device 4 is attached to the barrel 2 and measures the distance to the target 5, e.g. with a laser beam.
- the distance measuring device 4 sends a distance signal to a control device 6.
- the control device 6 opens or closes an outflow valve 7 which is attached to the barrel 2.
- a projectile 3 located in the barrel 2 has a propellant charge which is ignited when the projectile is fired.
- the tube 2 and the projectile located therein form a cavity 8 in which the propellant charge builds up a gas pressure which drives the projectile 3 out of the barrel 2.
- the outflow valve 7 is let into the wall of the barrel 2. With the discharge valve 7, the pressure in the cavity 8 can be reduced and thus the impact energy of the projectile 3 can be set on the target 5.
- the propellant charge is dimensioned such that the floor 3 at least the desired has energy.
- the cross section of the outflow valve 7 is designed in such a way that so much gas can escape at a minimal target distance that there is no danger to persons.
- the target 5 can be detected.
- the sighting device 9 With a swivel device 10, the sighting device 9 is swiveled about a horizontal axis, so that the sighting line 11 can be adjusted in the plane of the drawing.
- the swivel device 10 is controlled by the control device 6 as a function of the target distance.
- the weapon 1 When the non-lethal weapon 1 is used, the weapon 1 is aimed at the target 5.
- the distance measuring device 4 measures the distance to the target 5 and sends a distance signal to the control device 6.
- This opens the outflow valve 7, which is a throttle valve, depending on the target distance, until the required degree of opening for the required pressure is reached.
- the control device 6 pivots the sighting device 9.
- the sighting device 9 is adjusted so that the sighting line 11 intersects with the projectile path 12 in a target point 13 which is located on the surface of the target 5. This enables precise targeting over different distance ranges.
- the shooter can trigger the shot. To do this, he pulls a trigger that starts an ignition mechanism that ignites the propellant charge of the projectile 3.
- the propellant charge builds up a pressure in the cavity 8, which is reduced by the throttle valve 7 at a predetermined distance from the target 5. dependent value is held. This pressure drives the projectile 3 out of the barrel 23 and allows the projectile 3 to hit the target 5 at the target point 13 with a certain impact energy.
- the outflow valve 7 can also be realized as a valve which has only two positions. In a first position, the outflow valve 7 is completely closed. In the second position, the outflow valve 7 is completely open. Depending on the distance signal, the control device 6 calculates the time delay for the opening of the outflow valve 7. The propellant charge of the projectile 3 is activated by pressing the trigger, so that a pressure builds up in the cavity 8. This further increasing pressure propels the projectile 3 in the barrel 2. After a certain period of time, the outflow valve 7 is opened completely, so that the pressure escapes from the cavity 8. The shot energy is thus regulated in that the pressure in the cavity 8, depending on the distance from the target 5, is only present for a certain period of time in order to accelerate the projectile 3.
