An arrow with a first body having a cylindrical member with a first outside diameter, a first outer surface, a first inner diameter, a first proximate end, and a first distal end, where the first proximate end is configured to accept an arrowhead, a second body having a hollow cylindrical member, where the second distal end is configured to accept fletching, and a nock, and a connecting means to couple the first body to the second body, wherein the arrowhead is a hollow coring arrowhead configured to cut a volume of material through a target, and where mass and fluid passes through the coring arrowhead to the first body, and where one or more rods are positioned within the second body, where the rods are exposed to the target after the first body detaches from the second body.

A launcher and projectile system include at least one magnet disposed on or within the launcher for charging a wire coil of the projectile to energize the projectile, thereafter having a housing of the projectile rupture, disintegrate, separate or otherwise have an opening created therein after launch to release a payload. In another embodiment, an accessory for a launcher and projectile is provided, the accessory comprising a magnet for charging a projectile that is launched by the launcher. The strength of magnetic field of the magnet may be adjusted for selective performance of the projectile.

The invention relates to an electronic ignition unit fora stun grenade, comprising at least one energy source, at least one igniter, at least one control device, wherein the electronic ignition device further comprises an igniter driver connected to the at least one energy source and to the at least one control device.

A cartridge comprising a bullet, the bullet providing a radially expanding array of bullet fragments upon entering a target and also providing an increase in effective surface area of the bullet within the target by structural features that facilitate tumbling or mushrooming in the target. In an embodiment a pair of axial core members are aligned in a bullet jacket with the forward core member being segmented with separation junctures formed by engaged faces of adjacent segments. Impact causing fracturing of the segments from a base portion.

A novel castable frangible projectile and techniques for manufacturing such are provided. A cartridge system includes a case defining a volume, a propellant disposed in the volume of the case, and a projectile coupled to the case. The projectile includes a body disposed at least partially within the case and configured to enclose the propellant within the volume of the case. The body is formed of a castable eutectic mixture, the castable eutectic mixture configured to be melted and cast, wherein the body is configured to break into a plurality of fragments upon impact with a target.

A plasma generator composed of a body of electrically conductive, ionizable material connected to conduct a current pulse and to be converted into a plasma that occupies a large volume in the ionosphere. A plasma generating system composed of a source of a high intensity current pulse and the plasma generator.

A digitally controlled hand-tossable explosive delivery receptacle comprises a ruggedized reusable compartment enclosing a digital circuit and a disposable cartridge holding one or more explosive chemical agents and a primer. The disposable cartridge is configured to be mounted to the ruggedized reusable cartridge, and a high-strength bulkhead incorporated into the reusable or disposable compartment that separates the digital circuit from the chemical agents. The reusable compartment is sufficiently ruggedized to withstand the ignition of the primer and the detonation of the chemical agents to be reused with one or more additional disposable cartridges. In one implementation, the delivery receptacle uses a commercial airbag initiator as the primer, which is arranged in relation to the one or more chemical agents so that when the initiator is activated, it generates a pressure wave that expels the one or more chemical agents from the grenade.

The invention relates to an electronic ignition unit for a stun grenade, comprising at least one energy source, at least one igniter, at least one control device, wherein the electronic ignition device further comprises an igniter driver connected to the at least one energy source and to the at least one control device.
