A safety switch for a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may be configured to operate between at least one fixed position and at least one momentary position. In response to the safety switch being operated into the at least one momentary position, the safety switch may return to the at least one fixed position. In the fixed position, the safety switch may be configured to perform a firing mode operation. In the momentary position, the safety switch may be configured to perform a non-firing mode operation.

A conducted electrical weapon may deploy a single electrode. The single electrode may be deployed in response to a first activation signal of a sequence of activation signals. The conducted electrical weapon may deploy a second electrode in response to a second activation signal of the sequence of activation signals. A signal generator of the conducted electrical weapon may provide a stimulus signal between the single electrode and the second electrode. Deploying the single electrode may include deploying fewer electrodes than a minimum number required by the conducted electrical weapon to provide the stimulus signal at a remote location.

A system for a practice electrode (e.g. dart) for a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”). An officer issued a CEW is required to practice with the CEW in order to maximize its safe and effective use in a stressful situation. Preferably, training is performed using equipment as similar as possible to the equipment an officer uses in the field. Training with a CEW against a live target may be improved, at least from the perspective of the target, by using a practice dart that is similar in weight and flight to a conventional electrode, but that does not pierce target clothing or tissue or deliver a high voltage current through the target. A practice dart may be similar to a conventional electrode but include additional structure (e.g. cap) that prevents piercing. The additional structure and/or a non-conductive filament may reduce a likelihood of or preclude delivery a current through the target.

A system for generating an optical beam array includes a laser light source capable of generating a primary beam of light. An array generating optical element is capable of receiving the primary beam of light and splitting the primary beam of light into a beam array. The beam array can include at least two distinct pattern beams that divergently extend from the array generating optical element at a non-zero angle relative to one another. A void region is formed between the at least two pattern beams, the void region being devoid of any portion of the primary beam.

A conducted electrical weapon may deploy a single electrode. The single electrode may be deployed in response to a first activation signal of a sequence of activation signals. The conducted electrical weapon may deploy a second electrode in response to a second activation signal of the sequence of activation signals. A signal generator of the conducted electrical weapon may provide a stimulus signal between the single electrode and the second electrode. Deploying the single electrode may include deploying fewer electrodes than a minimum number required by the conducted electrical weapon to provide the stimulus signal at a remote location.

The present invention provides a taser alarm system that comprises a taser housing that includes laser sights, a red light, an alarm system, and a circuit board, a cartridge system, and a remote lock communicatively connected to the circuit board included in the taser housing, the remote lock includes a button that, when pressed, sends a signal to the circuit board to remotely turn on or off the taser alarm system.

A warning system for a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may be configured to alert a target that deployment of the CEW may be imminent. The warning system may include a visual output system and an audio output system. The visual output system may be configured to output a visual warning. The audio output system may be configured to output an audio warning. The visual output system and the audio output system may be activated in response to a control interface of the CEW being operated to an active mode. The visual output system and the audio output system may be deactivated, or not activated, in response to the control interface being operated to a safety mode.

Magazines of conducted electrical weapons (CEW) comprise a set of magnetic elements having positions, polarities, and magnitudes corresponding to a type of magazine. The CEW uses sensors to detect an indicator magnet indicating that a magazine is inserted into a bay of the CEW. The CEW additionally uses sensors to detect information about the set of magnetic elements and determines, based on the detected information, a type of the magazine.

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 cartridge inner assembly may be removably disposed within the body. The cartridge inner assembly may comprise a propulsion module, a plug, a piston, and/or a retaining clip. The cartridge inner assembly may be configured to cause deployment of an electrode. The electrode may be mechanically and electrically coupled to the piston.

The invention relates to a multiple-charge remote-acting electroshock weapon with electrical stunning means for use primarily by law enforcement agencies and also for civilian self-defence. Field of use: Multiple-charge remote-acting electroshock weapon for law enforcement services and civilian self-defence. Technical result: The creation of an electroshock weapon for effectively immobilizing several targets simultaneously, with more rapid reloading and a corresponding increase in overall operating reliability and efficiency. The present electroshock weapon comprises a housing, a source of electrical energy, an electronic circuit for generating a high stunning voltage, several firing cartridges, several mechanical cartridge locks with a human-powered actuator for deliberately unlocking a firing cartridge from the housing of the weapon, said actuator being activated by a finger of the user holding the weapon, and an electromechanical high-voltage switch for supplying a high stunning voltage to the firing cartridges.
