A projectile includes a body containing pyrotechnic material. A rear cap closes a rear end of the body. A pyrotechnic unit includes an ignitor in communication with the pyrotechnic material. A striker is arranged to strike a primer of the pyrotechnic unit. A safety lever is arranged initially to restrain movement of the striker towards the pyrotechnic unit. An external safety keeper is arranged initially to clamp a portion of the safety lever to the body.

As shown in FIG. 1, the system of the first preferred embodiments is a video guided munition including: a body; at least two fin segments attached to the body near the rear of the body; at least two actuators attached to at least one of the fins and the body, where the actuators are adapted to move at least one of A) a control surface on at least one of the fins and B) the fins, where the movement creates aerodynamic forces adapted to control the direction of the flight of the munition; a video camera mounted at least one of I) to the body and II) to another component mounted to the body; a video transmitter in electrical communication with the video camera and adapted to transmit video from the video camera; a control receiver designed to receive electromagnetic control signals, where the control receiver is in electrical communication with the at least two actuators, where the control receiver is adapted to provide control signals to the at least two actuators; a control transmitter, where the control transmitter is adapted to transmit electromagnetic control signals to the control receiver; control inputs mounted on the control transmitter and designed to allow a user to provide control inputs to the control transmitter; a video display; a video receiver in electrical communication with the video display, wherein the video receiver is designed to receive the video transmitted by the video transmitter, wherein the video display shows video transmitted by the video transmitter to the user; wherein the user reacts to the transmitted video on the video display to provide control inputs to guide the video guided munition to a desired target point; at least one of an explosive warhead and a non-lethal weapons payload; a launch system comprising at least one of 1) an elastic launcher, 2) a spring launcher, 3) a compressed gas launcher, and 4) an adapter that allows the munition to be launched by a firearm. The system of the preferred embodiments is preferably designed to provide a low cost, guided weapon that is compact enough that a single soldier can carry multiple munitions, that does not require a significant launcher to be carried, that is inexpensive enough to equip a large fraction of the troops on the battle field, that can achieve hits at 200 meters to 800 meters in range, that can hit targets that are not in line of sight, and that has the power and guidance effectiveness to get hits after only several rounds are expended at most while again being inexpensive enough that this is acceptableno such system or any system with a capability remotely like this exists in the prior art. The system of the preferred embodiments may, however, be used for

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.
