Charged projectile assemblies include a housing and an electronic assembly configured to produce an electric field about at least a portion of the housing of the projectile. Cartridge assemblies for use with firearms include charged projectiles. Methods of charging a projectile include forming an electric field about at least a portion of a projectile and extending the electric field at least partially between a forward portion of the projectile and an aft portion of the projectile.

An improved bullet disclosed includes a blend radius disposed between a first tangent thereof intersecting a shank of the bullet and a second tangent thereof intersecting one of a cone ogive and a boattail ogive of the bullet. The bullet also includes at least one dimple formed into a base of the bullet adjacent the boattail ogive, a curved segment joining the dimpled base and the boattail cone and a truncated cone ogive with a meplat end and a shank end, the truncated cone ogive adapted to produce less drag and friction in air than a secant or a tangent ogive. The improved bullet extends an effective flight range and a Coanda effect there around reducing air turbulence and drag on the bullet in flight. A cartridge adapted to receive the improved bullet is necked down and shortened for a COAL (cartridge overall length) nominally the same as conventional cartridges.

A liner includes a plurality of individual projectile cells and a web of joining material holding the plurality of projectile cells in a monolithic and continuous structure. The liner is cylindrical and formed of an additive manufacturing process.

A fragmentation warhead with a flexible liner enables increased control of the warhead's fragmentation pattern. The flexible liner is fixed to a rigid portion of the warhead housing. Explosive material is contained in the housing. A fluid is disposed between the explosive material and the flexible liner to function as a shock transition material. The fluid is contiguous with and bears on an inner surface of the flexible liner. A plurality of rigid fragments or a plurality of explosively formed projectile (EFP) liners are fixed to an outer surface of the flexible liner opposite the fluid. Initiation of the explosive material propels the fragments or EFP liners in directions that may be varied by varying the shape of the flexible liner.

Improvements in a less-lethal force device are disclosed. The less-lethal projectile device generally comprising a projectile, such as a rubber-encapsulated metal block, that is mated to a docking base by way of a mounting pins or base. The projectile may be made with a cavity located in its rearward section for enabling the projectile to fit onto the mounting pins portion of the docking base through compression or interference fit. The projectile captures a fired bullet and is propelled along the original path of the bullet at a less lethal velocity. The disclosed system results in converting a normally lethal weapon into a less-lethal blunt impact system. The mounting pins are configured to provide clearance to the sighting mechanism on the firearm.
