Piezoelectric incapacitation projectile

Abstract

An incapacitating piezoelectric projectile comprises a projectile body housing a piezoelectric element, at least one electrically conductive contact surface, and a means for coupling said piezoelectric element to said at least one electrically conductive contact surface. Projectile is arranged so that an impact will cause the piezoelectric element to discharge an electrical shock to the target through the at least one electrically conductive contact surface, thereby incapacitating the target. The projectile is particularly suitable for use in a method of instantly incapacitating human and non human targets.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to striking devices, in particular to disabling piezoelectric projectiles that release a voltage upon impact and related methods of use. Background technique [0002] Law enforcement officers often encounter adversaries in the wild. The usual method of engagement is through the use or threat of use of deadly weapons, including the use of firearms and standard shooting techniques. However, conventional firearms have limitations for instantly incapacitating or stopping an adversary. Barring a direct hit to the head or spinal cord, the adversary remains combative until blood loss or heart failure leaves him starved of oxygen and unconscious. To compensate for blows that cannot be incapacitated by a single shot, most combat shooting systems teach a method of targeting the "center of gravity," which relies on multiple strikes to stop the opponent. This often results in incurable trauma and death to the adversary. In one wel...
