Low-observable projectile
11709041 · 2023-07-25 ·

A radar-absorbing material projectile system including a projectile with an outer layer of radar-absorbing material (RAM). A carrier or armature is disposed around the projectile, protecting the layer of RAM during the firing sequence. In some embodiments the carrier is a discarding carrier which falls away after firing, rendering the projectile low-observable with regard to radar detection due to the layer of RAM.

Projectiles for a paintball marker and systems
11428512 · 2022-08-30 · ·

A hollow spherical projectile is constructed from a plurality of curved structural segments and has a plurality of openings. The projectile can be fired by a conventional paintball marker with a high degree of ballistic accuracy. The projectile is reusable and is fabricated from a flexible and resilient material. The outer surface of the projectile exhibits low friction, achieved by the material itself or by having a low friction coating applied. The projectile possess and transmits less kinetic energy than a conventional paintball and therefore inflicts less pain and damage upon impact. Fabrication can be accomplished by 3D printing, or molding as a single seamless piece, or as a plurality of pieces which are then assembled.
