The number of pulses of a stimulus signal provided by a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) between launch and establishing an electrical circuit with a human or animal target may be counted to determine the distance between the CEW and the target and the distance between electrodes launched by the CEW toward the target while positioned in or near target tissue.

A trigger restriction device for use with a conducted energy device (CED) with a trigger well opening having two opposing sides. The trigger restriction device has a blocking member, an optional top member connected to a top of the blocking member and oriented non-parallel to the blocking member, and a non-blocking member connected to at least one of the blocking member and the top member the non-blocking member facilitating one possible means of trigger restriction attachment to the CED. The trigger restriction device is shaped and designed so when the trigger restriction device is attached to a CED, the blocking member blocks access to the trigger well on one side of the CED while the non-blocking member allows access to the trigger well on an opposing side of the CED.

A cartridge for a conducted electrical weapon may comprise a body having a first end opposite a second end and an outer surface opposite an inner surface. A projectile may be disposed within the body. The inner surface of the body may define a plurality of grooves extending from the first end of the body to a location within the body.

A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may deploy electrodes toward a target to electrically couple to the target. The CEW may be configured to detect a connection status of at least one electrode of the deployed electrodes. A positive connection status represents a connection being established between the at least one electrode and the target. The CEW may generate an alert in accordance with the connection status. The alert may one or more of an audible alert, a haptic alert, or a visual alert.

A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) impedes locomotion of a human or animal target by providing a stimulus signal through one or more electrodes and through the target. The CEW includes a handle and one or more removable deployment units coupled to the handle. A deployment unit may include a wad, a tensioner, a guide, and posts to improve accuracy of launch of electrodes form the deployment unit.

According to one embodiment an electric shock self-defence cartridge is provided that includes a distal body in which one or more application means is housed, and a proximal body in which a wire is housed. The proximal body includes coupling means and electric connection means for being joined with the electric shock self-defence device. Compression means is arranged between the distal body and the proximal body for keeping the distal body shifted towards a rest position. The application means is housed in the distal body, such that in use, when the distal body is in contact with an assailant, the distal body shifts with respect to the proximal body from the rest position towards an actuation position in which the application means projects from the distal body to be adhered to the assailant's body.

A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) comprises one or more switch devices and a charge storage circuit for delivering a stimulus signal via a deployed electrode. A charge may be stored in the charge storage circuit. A first switch device of the one or more switch devices may be selectively turned on according to the charge of the charge storage circuit. The stimulus signal may be delivered via a current flow path comprising the first switch device and the deployed electrode according to the charge of the charge storage circuit.

A CEW includes a handle and one or more cartridges. A cartridge may cooperate with the handle to launch one or more electrodes. Launched electrodes fly toward the target to couple to the target to provide a stimulus signal through the target to impede locomotion of the target. Prior to launch, detents may retain an electrode in a bore of the cartridge. The bore may be sealed with a door. Launching the electrode may remove the door from the cartridge. The door may couple to the electrode. The door may remain coupled to the electrode during flight and impact of the electrode with the target. The door may cushion the impact of the electrode against the target. Cushioning the impact may reduce the likelihood of injuring the target. Retaining the door coupled to the electrode during flight may improve the flight characteristics of the electrode.

A projectile component that can be removably attached to a flying vehicle is disclosed. The projectile component includes a net configured in the projectile component, a receiving cavity configured in the projectile component, and a weight attached to the net via a string. The weight can be configured in the receiving cavity in preparation for firing the net from the projectile component. In order to entangle a target flying vehicle in the net, a cocklebur associated with the weight is included. Upon firing the net from the projectile component, and upon the net engaging with a target device, the cocklebur becomes entangled with the net to secure the target flying vehicle. A drawstring structure associated with the net can also be used to ensure that the net envelops and captures the target flying vehicle.

The utility model relates to a non-lethal police and civilian remote-acting electroshock weapon (DESHO). The technical result consists in developing multi-charge DESHO with an increased reloading speed, eliminating the possibility of bypassing the DESHO after the first shot, and providing the possibility of quickly reloading the DESHO with a new cartridge instead of spent one. The remote-acting electroshock weapon with firing cartridges comprises locking mechanisms for firing cartridges with the possibility to unlock the firing cartridges from the frame of the weapon using one user's hand holding the weapon, spring extractors of firing cartridges, and a selector switch for switching the sequence of the firing cartridges initiation.
