An electrifiable projectile for an insect zapper gun is capable of killing a target insect at a distance from the user. The projectile includes a pattern of electric wires forming a front-facing conductive contact structure having a breadth sufficient to allow the projectile to intercept an insect when propelled in a forward trajectory toward an insect. When the projectile's pattern of electric wires comes into contact with the target insect, an electric charge on the projectile is transmitted to the insect rendering the insect deceased.

A novel electroshock device is provided. The novel electroshock device includes a weapon body, a magazine, and at least one electroshock projectile which is used by being positioned into a magazine and ensures that a target is subjected to shock by being fired to the target, and which has no physical connection with the magazine or with a weapon body after being fired to the target.

An insect zapper gun is capable of killing a target insect at a distance from the user. The zapper gun incudes an electrifiable projectile fired from a handheld base. When the projectile comes into contact with the target insect, an electric charge on the projectile is transmitted to the insect rendering the insect deceased.

A net for nonlethally incapacitating a human target. The net can have one or more conductive zones and be propelled toward a target. The net can then electrically energize the conductive zone or zones to further incapacitate the target. In this manner a human target can be safely captured and controlled.

An electric shock round utilized in projectile launching systems suitable for ranged non-lethal applications is presented. The electric shock round contains a projectile housing, a nose cap, an electroshock generation unit, and a plurality of electrodes. The electroshock generation unit is connected within the projectile housing. The plurality of electrodes is connected to the electroshock generation unit, opposite to the projectile housing. The nose cap is connected adjacent to the projectile housing, where the nose cap houses and secures the plurality of electrodes.

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 projectile for piercing a casing of a mine containing an explosive material. The projectile includes a projectile body having a nose portion and a tail portion and a longitudinal axis, a switch, and electrodes separated such that in use an electrical discharge can flow between them through an explosive material contained within a mine, or to initiate an energetic material provided between the electrodes to detonate an explosive material contained within a mine. Also provided is a method of mine disposal.

An electroshock system wirelessly delivers a shock to a subject. The electroshock system may include a launcher, a wireless projectile, a power source, and a wireless power transmitter. The launcher is configured to be grasped by a user. The wireless projectile is configured to detach from the launcher and adhere to a subject. The power source contributes power for the administration of a shock to the subject. The wireless power transmitter delivers said contributed power to the wireless projectile while the wireless projectile is detached from the launcher. The power source and the wireless transmitter may be co-located with the launcher, or may be separate (such as secured to a person or within a vehicle).

A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) launches wire-tethered electrodes from multiple cartridges to provide a current through a human or animal target to impede locomotion of the target. The CEW may detect when the electrodes launched from the cartridges may provide the current through more than one target. The CEW may detect when electrodes launched from the cartridges may provide the current through the same target. The CEW may set the pulse rate of the current based on detecting the launch of electrodes from more than one cartridge, detecting that electrodes may provide the current through two or more targets, and/or detecting that two or more pairs of electrodes may deliver the current through the same target.
