Abstract

The present invention relates to a non-lethal projectile (100, 100', 200, 300, 300', 400, 600, 700). The non-lethal projectile (100, 100', 200, 300, 300', 400, 600, 700) comprises a front member (102) having a forward facing portion (102a), a cylindrical sidewall member (104) having an outer surface (106) and an inner surface (108), and a partition member (102b) arranged between the front member (102) and the sidewall member (104), wherein the partition member (102b) and the inner surface (108) of the sidewall member (104) forms an open cavity (124) having an open end opposing the partition member (102b), wherein the sidewall member (104) comprises a first portion (104a) abutting the partition member (102b), and a second portion (104b) away from the partition member (102b), wherein the second portion (104b) is tapered from a first end abutting the first portion (104a) of the sidewall member (104) towards an opposite second end, wherein the projectile (100, 100', 200, 300, 300', 400, 600, 700) further comprises: a plurality of rear fins (110) protruding from the outer surface (106) of the sidewall member (104), and a rotation generating member (114) arranged within the open cavity (124), the rotation generating member (114) being configured to generate a rotary motion of the projectile (100, 100', 200, 300, 300', 400, 600, 700) when subject to a forward driving force.
