A projectile deployment system includes an entangling projectile having a pair of pellets and a tether connecting the pellets. A projectile casing includes a pair of sockets, each socket sized to carry one of the pellets, the sockets being oriented at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the projectile casing such that the pellets travel apart from one another as they are expelled from the projectile casing. A launcher carries the casing and includes a selectively activatable pressure source capable of expelling the entangling projectile from the projectile casing toward a subject.

The present invention concerns a cartridge for firearms comprising a cartridge case with a crown of wings. The wings themselves are fused or glued to one another so as to form an ogival closing element of the cartridge case. The invention also concerns the process for manufacturing the cartridge and the relative equipment.

An apparatus is disclosed including a bore cleaning device configured to clean a bore of a firearm. The device includes a propellant providing a force to push the projectile down the bore of the firearm, a fibrous cup, a dense material within the fibrous cup, and a frame including a bore forward disk configured to press against a bottom surface of the fibrous cup. The dense material includes one of a dense granulated material and a dense, viscous paste. The dense material is configured to deform and press radially outwardly against the cup as the propellant provides propelling force to the dense material.

A bore cleaning projectile cleans a bore of a firearm as the projectile is propelled down the bore. The projectile includes a frame including a lower charge cap, a tapered cone-shaped center shaft portion, and an end cap. The projectile further includes a propellant providing a force to push the device down the bore of the firearm and at least one cleaning agent situated around the tapered cone-shaped center shaft portion. The center shaft portion includes a narrower diameter at a longitudinally forward portion of the center shaft portion and a wider diameter at a longitudinally rearward portion of the center shaft portion. The cleaning agent is forced to move along the center shaft portion toward the longitudinally rearward portion of the center shaft portion as the frame is propelled down the bore. This movement along the center shaft portion causes intimate contact between the cleaning agent and the bore.

The invention provides a long range bullet. The bearing surface of the body of the bullet is provided with one or more annular narrows of which the combined length is at least one third of the length of the bearing surface of the bullet and which depth is between 0.005 mm up to half of the groove depth of a barrel in which the bullet is intended to shoot.
