A launcher carries an activator operable to activate the pressure source to expel the entangling projectile from the projectile casing toward the subject.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING TARGETING BEAMS
A system for generating a targeting beam includes a frame carrying at least one moveable arm, at least a portion of the moveable arm being moveable relative to the frame. A light source is carried by the frame, the light source being operable to generate a light beam. A motor is carried by the frame, the motor being operable to create oscillatory motion of the moveable arm to cause the light beam generated by the light source to oscillate through a range of motion to create a targeting beam.

F41G 1/35 - Night sights, e.g. luminescent combined with light source, e.g. spot light for illuminating the target
F41G 1/46 - Sighting devices for particular applications
F42B 12/56 - Projectiles, missiles or mines characterised by the warhead, the intended effect, or the material characterised by the warhead or the intended effect for dispensing materialsProjectiles, missiles or mines characterised by the warhead, the intended effect, or the material characterised by the warhead or the intended effect for producing chemical or physical reactionProjectiles, missiles or mines characterised by the warhead, the intended effect, or the material characterised by the warhead or the intended effect for signalling for dispensing discrete solid bodies
F41H 13/00 - Means of attack or defence not otherwise provided for
An entangling projectile for use with a projectile deployment system includes a pair of pellets, at least one of the pair of pellets having a head with a head outer diameter and a shank with a shank outer diameter, the shank outer diameter being less than the head outer diameter. A tether connects the pair of pellets. A shroud is fitted about a shank of the at least one of the pair of pellets, the shroud having a tether opening formed therein to receive the tether, the tether being coupled to the pellet and extending along the shank of the pellet and through the tether opening formed in the shroud.

A projectile deployment system includes an entangling projectile having a pair of pellets and a tether connecting the pellets. A projectile casing carries the entangling projectile and has a pair of sockets, each socket sized to carry one of the pellets. Each of the sockets is substantially parallel with the horizontal plane and at least a portion of each of the sockets is held at differing vertical elevations when the projectile launcher is held in the firing orientation. The sockets are oriented at an acute angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the projectile casing such that the pellets travel apart from one another as they are expelled from the projectile casing. A launcher carries the projectile casing and a selectively activatable pressure source is operably coupled to the projectile casing and is capable of expelling the entangling projectile from the projectile casing toward a subject.

F42B 14/00 - Projectiles or missiles characterised by arrangements for guiding or sealing them inside barrels, or for lubricating or cleaning barrels
F42B 6/00 - Projectiles or missiles specially adapted for projection without use of explosive or combustible propellant charge, e.g. for blow guns, bows or crossbows, hand-held spring or air guns
