A conducted electrical weapon may selectively provide mechanical interference and electrical interference to a target at a remote location. The conducted electrical weapon may deploy a first projectile. The first projectile may comprise an entangling projectile configured to provide the mechanical interference. The conducted electrical weapon may deploy a second projectile. The second projectile may comprise various types of projectiles. The second projectile may comprise a direct contact projectile. The electrical interference may be provided via the first projectile and second projectile. Methods and systems may also selectively provide different types of interference via one or more deployed entangling projectiles.

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 (CEW) launches wire-tethered electrodes from multiple cartridges to provide a stimulus signal through a human or animal target to impede locomotion of the target. The CEW may detect the quality of the electrical coupling (e.g., connection) of pairs of electrodes with the target. In accordance with the quality of the connections, the CEW may provide pulses of a stimulus signal to the various connections between electrode pairs in accordance with a sequence. The sequence may provide pulses at a first maximum pulse rate to any one connection to increase the likelihood of inducing neuromuscular incapacitation (NMI) and to save energy. The sequence may provide pulses to all connections at a second maximum pulse rate to increase the likelihood of inducing NMI and to save energy.

The electroshock bullet comprises a body, a source of electric energy, a switch, a target-disabling current generator, and electrode-devices for fixing the bullet on the target. The bullet body is made of electrically insulating material with an inner cavity and has prefabricated rifling protrusions or a driving band located on it. On the outer forming shell of the bullet there are conductive protective electrode-tracks connected with electrode-devices for the purposes of fixing the bullet on the target. A cylindrical power source, spring-loaded with an elastic electrically conductive element, is located in the cavity of the body along its axis. The replaceable barrel for firing electroshock bullets contains a polymer case with rifling and an initiation device. The device for initiating low-voltage, high-voltage or shock ignition simultaneously serves as a source of energy for firing an electroshock bullet. The device is located in a high-pressure chamber in the chamber of the barrel. The rifling of the bullet location begins in the barrel zone with the largest wall thickness. A weapon for using interchangeable barrels for firing electroshock bullets contains a body, a trigger or a switch, and a firing initiation device. The body has a hinged or fixed attachment point for individual interchangeable barrels with a fixation of the hinge or the barrels that prevents their movement. The initiation device has the ignition of low-voltage, high-voltage or shock type, and a mechanical trigger mechanism or a source of low-voltage or high-voltage initiation signals are located in the body. The technical result is to ensure the impossibility of removal of the electric bullet by the offender until its full effect, to exclude the false activation of the electric bullet as a result of accidental acceleration, and to ensure the possibility of deactivating the electric bullet.
