Description

MANUAL MULTI-CHARGING CONTACT-REMOTE ELECTRIC SHOCK WEAPONS AND UNITARY WEAPON CARTRIDGE.

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

The invention relates to weapons with electric weapons.

BACKGROUND

A TASER M26 device is described in US 6636412. The TASER M26 device is designed to temporarily disable biological objects (humans and animals) by electric current at a distance and in direct mechanical contact with the object. The defeat of the object at a distance is carried out using a cartridge that shoots two projectiles at the target, each of which is connected using an insulated wire to the corresponding current-supplying electrode of the cartridge. The current-carrying electrodes of the cartridge are electrically connected to the fighting electrodes of the device, to which, when the device is started, high voltage is applied. The cartridge is rigidly attached to the device using a mechanical connector. The defeat of the object at a distance is carried out when the electric circuit is closed through the body of the object by means of electric wires connecting the fighting electrodes of the device to which high voltage is supplied with missile projectiles that are mechanically fixed to the body or clothing of the object.

The defeat of the object in direct contact is carried out with mechanical contact of the fighting electrodes of the device with the body of the object. The high voltage supplied to the electrodes of the device allows the electric current to be transmitted through the body of the object, even if

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) there are air gaps between the body of the object and the current-carrying elements (projectiles or combat electrodes of the device). In this case, an electric spark arc is formed between the body of the object and the current-carrying elements of the device, through which electric current is transmitted to the body of the object. TASER M26 has a maximum output voltage of about 50 kV, which, according to the manufacturer, allows you to transfer current through the body of the object via an electric arc in the presence of a total air gap between the current-carrying elements of the device (shells or combat electrodes) and the body of the object up to 50 mm.

The specified device has the following disadvantages. The TASER M26 has a single cartridge. In order to fire a second shot, for example, in case of a miss or in order to hit another target, in the TASER M26 device it is necessary to disconnect the shot cartridge and insert a new cartridge into the device. Rigidly fixing the cartridge in the device using a mechanical connector takes about 10 seconds to recharge the device with a new cartridge and fire again.

To use the TASER M26 in direct contact with the target, you must first disconnect the cartridge, because when you start the device with the cartridge attached, the cartridge will fire. This is an obstacle to the quick use of a device with a loaded cartridge in situations where the first contact with the target occurs at close range and a shot from an extremely short distance is undesirable, since it can cause serious mechanical injury to the target.

In the application for the invention of the Russian Federation JM22005113752 (IPC F41B 15/04, published on November 20, 2006), variants of hand-held multiple-charge weapons for remote destruction of targets by electric current are described. In particular, in

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the said application describes a variant of multiple-charge weapons using unitary cartridges located in the holder, in which the shot is fired by pressing the trigger element (start key) by moving two unitary cartridges from the holder to the firing position. Figure 11 of this application shows a variant of the weapon in which the shot is fired when the electric button is closed, which launches an electronic circuit that supplies high voltage to the current-carrying elements of the device. According to the description of the application, the closure of the electric button that starts the electronic circuit is carried out by the start key at the end of the course of moving the cartridges to the position of the shot.

The prototype of a unitary cartridge used in weapons is the cartridge described in the application for the invention of the Russian Federation JVe2005113206 (IPC F41B 5/02, published on November 20, 2006). The weapon variant and unitary cartridge described in RF patent applications N ° 2005113752 and N ° 2005113206, selected by the applicant as a prototype of the invention, have the following disadvantages.

When firing a shot, the cartridges are held at the position of the shot by the muscular effort of the finger arrow on the start key. At the same time, at the moment of the shot, the cartridges acquire a recoil impulse, which, through the system for moving the cartridges to the position of the shot, is transmitted to the start key held by the arrow finger. If at the moment of the shot the holding force of the start key with the arrow is less than the recoil force, then the start key will begin to move. In this case, the cartridges will also be displaced from the position of the shot, which will negatively affect the accuracy of the shot.

In the device according to the application Zh2OO5113752, the extraction of the shot cartridges is carried out when the release key is released. Extraction of shot cartridges occurs when the cartridges are released, after

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) of how the protrusions of the shutter holding the cartridges in the cage will disengage from the protrusions of the cartridges. The release of the protrusions of the cartridges from engagement with the protrusions of the shutter occurs when the shutter returns to its original position under the action of a return spring located in the clip. Since the feed mechanism and the shutter during firing are directly related to the start key held by the shooter, the speed at which the key and, accordingly, the feed mechanism and shutter return to their original position will depend on the speed of the finger moving the arrow when the key is released. In this case, in each extraction case, depending on skill and physiological characteristics of the shooter, the speed of returning the start key may vary. At a high key-return speed (with a sharp release of the key), the shutter, under the action of the return spring, the compression force of which at the moment of release of the key is maximum, manages to acquire an impulse that allows the shutter to overcome frictional resistance at the final return stage due to inertia, when the compression force of the return spring minimally. At a low speed of returning the start key (when the key is releasing smoothly), the value of the impulse reported to the shutter by the return spring, due to the artificial braking of the shutter return (through the feed mechanism) with the finger of the arrow, may be insufficient so that the shutter can overcome the friction force at the final stage of return, at which cartridge extraction occurs. In this case, the shutter may jam and cartridge extraction will not occur. Thus, in weapons according to the application N ° 2005113752, there is a dependence of the reliability of the extraction of cartridges on the skills and physiological characteristics of the shooter, which is its drawback. To exclude the possibility of jamming the shutter under the action of friction forces, it is necessary to increase the force of the shutter return spring. However, increasing the force of the shutter return spring is highly undesirable since

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) this significantly increases the effort on the launch key, which negatively affects the convenience of the shot and the aiming accuracy of the weapon.

As described in the application N22005113752, for the separation of the protrusions of the cartridges with the protrusions of the shutter during the extraction of cartridges, the cartridge has a cut-out (position 5, FIG. 2 RF application N22005113752), which, when moving the cartridge to the firing position, includes the corresponding hook mounted on the housing weapons. The hook holds the cartridge from moving backward when the shutter returns to its original position, at which the shutter protrusions are separated from the protrusions of the cartridge and extraction is carried out. However, if, at the time of the shot, the recoil force transmitted to the start key is large compared to the retention force of the start key by the shooter, this can lead to premature cartridge extraction. Premature extraction can occur if the cartridge is held in place by the hook at the time of the shot, and the shutter moves under the influence of the recoil momentum at a distance at which the shutter protrusions are separated from the protrusions of the cartridge. The possibility of premature cartridge extraction during firing, due to which it becomes impossible to transmit a damaging electrical effect to a remote object, is a significant drawback of the weapon described in application N22005113752.

During extraction, the cartridges are ejected from the weapon under the action of the force of the feed spring, which moves the cartridges in the mines of the holder. If during a shot a weapon according to the application Ns2005113752 is held by a shooter in the traditional way for a pistol, then after releasing the trigger, the cartridges will be extracted in a vertical plane. In this case, the upper cartridge (relative to the holder, with the vertical orientation of the holder) will be thrown vertically upward. After the discarded cartridge reaches the high point

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) lifting, he, under the action of gravity, will begin to fall down. At the same time, a cartridge falling down can collide with a weapon held by the shooter, for example, if the gun in the hand of the shooter remains stationary at the time of extraction. The weapon at the time of extraction may remain stationary, for example, if the shooter is aiming for the next shot. In this case, the presence of a moving ejected cartridge on the aiming line can distract the arrow's attention and adversely affect the aiming accuracy. In addition, in the event of a collision of the upper cartridge with a weapon, the cartridge may catch on to the weapon with a wire, or fall into the cavity of the weapon, where the cartridge moves from the holder when firing, which will serve as an obstacle to the subsequent firing.

The disadvantage of the weapon described in the application JN ° 2005113752 is also the lack of fixing the rear end of the cartridge at the position of the shot, as a result of which, the rear end of the cartridge under the influence of the recoil pulse can lower into the shaft of the cartridge, increasing the angle of orientation of the cartridge at the position of the shot and, accordingly, increasing the angle of divergence of the shot shells. An increase in the angle of divergence of shells under the action of a recoil pulse negatively affects the accuracy of the shot. When using the shutter weapon in the clip shown in FIG. 2 of the application N22005113752, the shutter 4 (called the pusher in the application JNs2005113752) must be made of dielectric material (plastic). The shutter cannot be made, for example, of metal, because in this case the initiation circuit of the unitary cartridges will be closed (bypassed) through the protrusions of the shutter holding the cartridge in the holder. However, the recoil force perceived by the shutter during firing can be significant and can lead to the destruction of the shutter made of a dielectric material (plastic), due to its insufficient strength.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Weapons, as described in the application N ° 2005113752 can be used both remotely and by contact. At the same time, two independent switches are used to launch the electronic circuit of the weapon, that is, a separate independent switch is used for each method. The presence of two independent switches of the weapon circuit leads to a complication of the circuit, an increase in the possibility of failures in work, and an increase in the dimensions of the circuit.

The use of a shot initiation scheme, as described in JY22005113752, in some cases can lead to a failure of one. from cartridges, if, for example, the pyrotechnic mixture of the capsule of one of the cartridges is not sensitive enough. The insufficient sensitivity of the capsule pyrotechnic mixture to the passage of a high-voltage discharge through it may consist in the fact that the mixture may not ignite from the first spark discharge passing through the initiation circuit, and several repeated discharges may be required for ignition. However, in the event that one of the capsules does not ignite from the first spark discharge, the initiation circuit, due to the removal of the fired projectile cartridge that performs the function of the conductive jumper from the discharge circuit, becomes open, and re-initiation (when passing through repeated spark discharges) of the failed cartridge becomes impossible . On the other hand, increasing the sensitivity of the pyrotechnic mixture in order to increase the reliability of the operation of both cartridges can lead to the fact that the ignition of the mixture can be initiated by a discharge of static electricity, which is unacceptable from the point of view of the safety of storage and use of weapons.

In the cartridge according to the application for the invention of the Russian Federation N ° 2005113206, which is selected as the prototype of the unitary cartridge of the weapon, a circuit is used in which the cartridge simultaneously performs the function of the barrel.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) A similar cartridge-barrel scheme is used in particular in the Oca barrelless self-defense weapon (traumatic cartridge 18 x 45) and a silent PSS pistol (cartridge with a cut-off of powder gases CP-4). It is known that a weapon that uses a smooth-bore cartridge scheme (OCA self-defense weapon) is characterized by low accuracy of fire, which is due to the uneven interaction of the projectile (bullet) with the barrel and numerous aerodynamic disturbances acting on the projectile (bullet) during flight at a relatively low speed. Low accuracy of fire is a consequence of the use of a short barrel, the length of which is limited by the projectile part of the cartridge-barrel, as well as the technological complexity of ensuring the acceptable accuracy of the mass (cartridge) manufacturing of the barrel-projectile complex.

In the cartridge according to the application Ж2005113206, the disadvantages inherent in the cartridge-barrel scheme described above are aggravated by aerodynamic disturbances acting on a light projectile of elongated shape with a wire pulled out of it during movement to the target, as well as interaction when the projectile leaves the cartridge-barrel and is pushed out of the barrel cartridge split sleeve and tearable membrane designed to fix and seal the projectile in the cartridge.

In a silent PSS pistol using the CP-4 cartridge-barrel complex, accuracy of fire that meets the requirements for short-barreled hand weapons for firing at a distance of up to 15 m is achieved by using an external rifled false barrel that is not involved in imparting directional movement to an elongated CP cartridge pool -4, but only gives the pool a rotational movement, which stabilizes its flight and accordingly increases the accuracy of fire. However, in weapons according to the application N ° 2005113752, which uses a unitary cartridge according to the application N ° 2005113206, the use of an external

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) rifled falypstvol not claimed. But even if we theoretically assume the possibility of using the guide channel described in the application JN ° 2005113752 with a slot to exit the wire during cartridge extraction as a rifled false barrel, this only increases the dimensions of the weapon and reduces the reliability of the cartridge extraction.

The Taser weapon uses an insulated wire to transmit electrical effects to a distant object. The wire is packed in the cavity of the cartridge and, when fired, is pulled out of the cavity by a moving projectile. The wire used in the Taser weapon has a central copper conductor with a diameter of 0.13 mm, coated with a 0.17 mm thick insulation layer. With an external diameter of 0.47 mm, the linear mass of the Taser wire is 0.45 grams per meter. The wire in isolation is used in the Taser weapon to prevent electrical breakdown between the wires when they cross after firing. When fired, the wire opens from the cavity of the cartridge under the action of an impulse that tells the wire a projectile that pulls the wire from the cavity. The standard Taser cartridge, designed for a maximum range of 21 feet (6.4m), uses a projectile weighing 1.6 grams, which draws a wire from the cartridge cavity, whose mass is about 2.9 grams. Due to the large mass of the Taser wire, a significant part of the projectile energy is spent on opening it. So, for example, in a standard Taser cartridge, the projectile has an initial speed of about 50 m / s, and at a distance of 4 meters from the departure point, the projectile speed decreases to 25 m / s. Thus, up to 50 and more percent of the projectile pulse, or up to 75 and more percent of its kinetic energy, is consumed to open the Taser wire. As a result of significant losses of the kinetic energy of the projectile, its velocity decreases, which leads to an increase in the flight time of the projectile to the target, as a result of which a significant decrease in the projectile trajectory under the action of

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) gravity. In addition, due to a decrease in the penetrating ability of the projectile, the probability of fixing the projectile on the body or clothing of the object decreases. Thus, the large relative mass of the insulated wire used in the Taser gun significantly limits the accuracy and range of the shot. On the other hand, an increase in the kinetic energy of the projectile, in order to compensate for the energy loss due to opening the wire, will lead to an increase in the penetrating ability of the projectile and can cause serious mechanical injury to the object when fired from a relatively short distance. In order to reduce the loss of impulse of the projectile to open the wire, in new modifications of the Taser cartridge, a projectile with an increased mass is used. So, for example, the Taser XP cartridge uses a shell weighing 4.1 grams. When fired, the initial velocity of the projectile is about 31 m / s and decreases to 23 m / s at a distance of 4 m. An increase in the mass of the projectile can somewhat reduce the loss of projectile momentum for opening the wire, however, in this case, the large relative mass of the Taser wire is also significantly limits the accuracy and range of the shot.

Due to the large relative mass of the Taser wire, the impulse transmitted to the wire by a moving projectile is so large that the opening of the wire from the cavity continues even after the projectile stops, fixing itself on the body or clothing of the object. The large relative mass of the Taser wire and the absence of a wire tensioning mechanism cause the wires to sag and intersect after firing. The ETFE (Tefzel) insulation used in the Taser wire has a maximum dielectric strength of 80 kV / mm. With an insulation thickness of Taser wire 0.17 mm, the maximum voltage that crossed conductors can withstand without electrical breakdown between them is, therefore, about 27

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) kV, which is significantly less than the maximum voltage declared by the manufacturer Taser - 50 kV. Thus, the insulation of the Taser wire allows you to reliably isolate intersecting wires from electrical breakdown between them only if the maximum voltage between the shells and the body of the object (for example, if the shells are fixed on the clothing of the object with the formation of an air gap) does not exceed 27 kV. At high voltages (with increasing air gap), an electrical breakdown of the insulation of the wires at the point of their intersection is possible, as a result of which the transmission of the damaging current through the body of the object will be interrupted. As the experience of using Taser weapons shows, breakdown of insulation of crossed wires occurs quite often when used, for example, in winter, when the object is dressed in thick clothing and the air gaps between the shells and the body of the object can be quite large. Thus, the insulation of the Taser wire actually ensures reliable electric shock to the object at a maximum voltage significantly lower than the maximum voltage declared by the manufacturer of 50 kV and is limited to about 27 kV. Increasing the thickness of the insulation in order to increase the electric strength of the wires will significantly increase the already high linear mass of the wire, which will lead to even greater losses of projectile energy for opening the wire, and will further limit the maximum range and accuracy of the shot.

At the same time, it is obvious that the electric effect can be transmitted to the object also when using a wire without insulation, if after a shot the wires do not intersect. In this case, reliable insulation of the wires between themselves can be achieved due to the spatial separation of the wires at a distance exceeding the distance at which air can be between the wires

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) electrical breakdown. A similar method of transmitting electric current at a distance is used, for example, in high-voltage power lines, where conductors under high electric potential are spaced apart by a constant distance, which is provided by the tension of the wires.

The advantage of using bare wires is the significantly smaller volume required to accommodate the wire. For example, with the same length of the wire and volume utilization coefficient, for packaging non-insulated wire with a diameter of 0.13 mm (which corresponds to the diameter of the copper core of the Taser wire), the cavity volume is 13 times smaller than for the insulated Taser wire with a diameter of 0.47 mm. In a standard Taser cartridge, a cavity with a volume of 4.7 cubic centimeters is used to accommodate 6.4 meters of insulated wire with a diameter of 0.47 mm. Thus, the volume utilization coefficient equal to the ratio of the volume of the wire to the volume of the cavity in the standard Taser cartridge is 0.23. Then, with the same length of the wire and a similar volume utilization factor, to place an uninsulated wire with a diameter of 0.13 mm, the required volume of the cavity will be 0.36 cubic centimeters. This volume has, for example, a cylindrical cavity with a diameter of 4.5 mm and a height of about 23 mm. For comparison, the standard Taser shell has a diameter of 5.4 mm and a length of 29 mm. As you can see, the cavity for accommodating bare wire with the dimensions indicated as an example can easily be placed in the shell of the projectile.

The advantage of placing uninsulated wire in the cavity of the projectile, in addition to the obvious reduction in the size of the cartridge (cartridge), is that the wire is accelerated along with the projectile and when fired it has the same speed as the projectile. Therefore, unlike

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Taser shots, in a system with a wire placed in the cavity of a projectile, there are no losses associated with the transfer of part of the pulse from the projectile to the wire when it is opened.

In order for the non-insulated wires after the shot to not intersect, it is necessary to have a mechanism that would ensure the tension of the wires. The RF patent N22275576 describes a mechanism for tensioning a wire located in the internal cavity of a projectile, which consists in the fact that the cavity of the projectile has a narrowing at the exit point of the wire. By reducing the passage section of the projectile cavity, the wire exit from the projectile cavity is artificially inhibited and due to this, the tension of the wires after the shot is ensured, which, in turn, reduces the possibility of their intersection. However, the described method of ensuring the tension of the wires after the shot has significant drawbacks. During artificial braking of the wire at the place where the wire exits the cavity, a significant part of the projectile energy is lost. In addition, experiments have shown that the presence of artificial inhibition of the conductor’s free exit from the shell cavity can cause the conductor to break off due to its additional deformation during a rapid transition of laying from a large passage to a small section, as well as due to the conductor being mixed up with the formation of nodes that cause a sharp braking of the conductor in decreasing bore leading to a break in the conductor.

The application for the invention of the Russian Federation Zh2OO5113752 mentions the use of an elastic brass wire as a conductor, which after a shot behaves like an elastic spring, which, due to its elastic properties, provides wire tension after a shot. However, the use of an elastic brass wire as a conductor has several disadvantages. Although using an uninsulated brass wire, the effective shot distance can be

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) significantly increased in comparison with Taser, the maximum achievable range of the shot is limited by the high specific mass of brass, since as the distance of the shot increases, the mass of the conductor relative to the mass of the projectile begins to increase significantly. In this case, for throwing a conductor located in the cavity of the projectile at a long range, a significant part of the energy of the shot can be spent. In addition, due to the high specific gravity of the brass wire, to compensate for its sag under the influence of its own weight, it is necessary that the elastic tensile force is significant. However, the presence of a significant elastic force acting on the projectile by the conductor, further increases the energy loss of the projectile. In addition, the presence of a significant elastic force acting on the shells from the side of the wires after the shot can cause a significant increase in the air gap between the shells and the body of the object, in the case of fixing shells on clothes. A significant increase in the air gap, at which the transmission of electrical effects to the object is stopped, can occur, for example, if the object wears free-hanging, light clothing.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The main objective of the invention is to eliminate the above disadvantages of devices known in the prior art, and to increase the reliability and efficiency of multi-shot hand-held stun guns.

According to a first aspect of the invention, a hand-held multiple-charge contact-remote stun gun comprising a clip with unitary cartridges located therein, a feed mechanism, a first trigger key connected to the feed mechanism, and a shutter for moving the shutter mechanically connected to the feed mechanism

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) cartridges in the position of the shot, further comprises a stopper made and installed with the possibility of fixing the feed mechanism to the position of the shot by pressing the first trigger and with the possibility of separation from the feed mechanism and release the latter when releasing the first trigger and return it to its original position.

In a preferred case, the feed mechanism comprises a lever pivotally mounted in its middle part on an axis fixed relative to the weapon body, interacting in the upper part with the first start key, and a pusher, with its first end connected to the lower part of the specified lever, and coming into contact with the second end with a shutter located inside the cage, and when you press the first start key as a result of its interaction with the upper part of the lever, the latter has the ability to rotate around the axis in its middle the second part, thus ensuring the translational displacement of the pusher in a direction opposite the movement of the first actuating button, with the provision of the impact ram to the gate and movement by means of the last rounds of ammunition in the firing position. Preferably, the plunger is made of a non-conductive material.

Also, in the preferred case, the stopper is made in the form of a spring-loaded lever, which at one end is pivotally mounted on an axis that is stationary relative to the weapon body, while the stopper interacts part of its surface with the upper end of the feed mechanism lever with the possibility of its fixation in the shot position and has the ability to rotate around the axis fixing and releasing the feed lever as a result of the interaction of the free end

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) a stopper with the surface of the first launch key when it returns from the position of the shot to its original position.

Preferably, the axis of the lever of the feed mechanism and the axis of the stopper are mounted in elastic bushings fixed in the weapon body, which dampen the recoil force acting on the feed mechanism during firing.

Preferably, the end of the push rod coupled to the feed lever is connected to the housing by means of a spring, which ensures that the push rod returns to its original position when the feed lever is released by disconnecting it from the stop.

Preferably, the first start key interacts with a spring, which ensures that the key returns to its original position from the position of the shot.

Preferably, the electronic circuit of the weapon is turned on by the action of the stopper on the electric start button after the stopper fixes the feed mechanism in the shot position.

Preferably located in the cartridge and moving the cartridges from the cartridge to the firing position, the shutter is made of metal.

Preferably, the weapon additionally has a second start key, and the electronic circuit of the weapon is turned on, depending on the chosen method of use, either by pressing the first start key in the remote mode or by pressing the second start key in the contact method, and in both cases the start keys interact with the electric start button . Preferably, the weapon has a reflector of the upper cartridge in the form of an elastic element that acts on the cartridge at the time of extraction by force, the direction of which is perpendicular to the direction of extraction of the cartridge.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) It is also preferred that the weapon body has a side cutout to improve extraction of the upper cartridge after firing.

In the particular preferred embodiment of the invention, the weapon has a mechanism for uncoupling the cartridges with the shutter, which prevents the cartridges from moving back with the shutter when the trigger is released and the shutter returns to its original position when the cartridges are extracted.

Preferably, the mechanism for separating the cartridges with the bolt is made on the weapon body in the form of an elastic latch with a protrusion, which, when the cartridge is moved to the firing position, enters the cartridge shaft through the cutout made in the cartridge wall and abuts the rear end of the cartridge, which prevents the cartridge from returning when the shutter is returned to the starting position.

In the particular case, to separate the cartridge with the protrusion of the shutter, a cartridge and a feeder are used that have additional protrusions, and the disconnection occurs due to the fact that the rear end of the cartridge moved to the firing position abuts against the protrusion on the next cartridge in the cage (or the protrusion on the feeder, in the case of the latter shot) to prevent its reverse movement when the shutter returns to its original position.

In a preferred particular case, the shutter located in the cage and moved by the feeding mechanism has protrusions on the mirrors that, when the cartridges are moved to the firing position, enter the corresponding cutouts on the rear end of the cartridges and fix the cartridge in the firing position.

Moreover, in one of the special cases, the protrusion on the shutter mirror and the cutout on the rear end of the cartridge have a cylindrical shape with the same radius of curvature, and the protrusion of the shutter is a supporting surface for the angular rotation of the cartridge relative to the common axis

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) mating cylindrical surfaces, when the cylindrical protrusion of the shutter enters the notch of the cartridge. In this case, preferably, the shutter has a switch of the angle of orientation of the cartridge at the position of the shot, which is a plate that moves along the cartridge holding surface of the shutter, the movement of which changes the angle of rotation of the cartridge relative to the common axis of rotation of the mating cylindrical surfaces of the cut at the end of the cartridge and the cylindrical protrusion of the shutter mirror entering the cut cartridge.

In another particular case, the protrusion on the shutter mirror and the cutout on the rear end of the cartridge are rectangular.

An essential distinguishing feature of the invention is that the feed mechanism, which, when the start button is pressed, moves the cartridges to the firing position, has a stopper that fixes the feed mechanism, which, in turn, locks the shutter located in the cage, which moves the cartridges from the cage to the position shots. The presence of a stopper eliminates the possibility of displacement of cartridges from the position of the shot under the action of a recoil pulse during the shot and thereby increases the accuracy of the shot, facilitates the use of weapons and almost completely eliminates the dependence of firing efficiency on the physiological characteristics of the shooter, as was the case in the prior art.

The possibility of uncoupling the stopper with the feed mechanism when releasing the first start key allows, in contrast to the prior art, to return the shutter to its original position sharply and at the same speed, since at the time of separation of the stop, which releases the feed mechanism and the shutter, the start key is fully released and effort from the finger the arrow, which can slow down the return of the feed mechanism and the shutter, is not on the start key.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Thus, an advantage of the present invention, which uses a feed stopper and a stop release system when the key is returned to its original position, is an increase in the reliability of extraction of shot cartridges. An additional advantage of the invention is that at the moment the feed mechanism is locked with a stopper, the force on the start key decreases by an amount equal to the force of the compressed shutter return springs, which simplifies the holding of the start key, which must be kept pressed for the duration of the transmission of the striking electric object to the remote object discharge. In weapons, according to the described invention, the shutter returns to its original position, after separation of the stopper with the feed mechanism, occurs abruptly and without braking by the force on the start key. At the same time, the valve, in the area where the compression force of the return springs is maximum, manages to acquire an impulse sufficient to overcome the friction forces acting on the valve at the final stage of return, where the force of the return springs is minimal. Due to this, the force of the gate return springs and, accordingly, the total initial force on the start key of the claimed weapon may be less than that of the prototype, which is an additional advantage of the invention.

Removing the shot cartridges from the weapon occurs when the cartridges are disconnected with the protrusion of the bolt holding the cartridge in the holder. To disconnect the cartridge with the protrusion of the bolt, an elastic latch made on the weapon body is used with a protrusion, which, when the cartridge is moved to the firing position, enters the cartridge shaft through the cutout made in the cartridge wall and abuts the rear end of the cartridge, which prevents the cartridge from moving back when the shutter returns to the initial position.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) In another method for separating the cartridge with the protrusion of the bolt into the weapon, a cartridge and a feeder having an additional protrusion can be used. In this method, disconnection occurs due to the fact that the protrusion of the next cartridge in the clip (or the protrusion on the feeder, in the case of the last shot) abuts against the rear end of the cartridge moved to the position of the shot, and prevents its reverse movement when the shutter returns to its initial position.

In order to eliminate the inherent disadvantages of the prototype associated with the extraction of the upper cartridge during the traditional orientation of the gun when firing, the reflector of the upper cartridge is used in the weapon. The reflector is made in the form of an elastic element (flat spring) which, when the upper cartridge is removed, acts on the cartridge with a force whose direction is perpendicular to the direction of ejection of the cartridge from the holder. In this case, as a result of the combined action on the cartridge of the force of the feed spring and the efforts of the reflector, the extraction of the upper cartridge occurs up and away from the held weapon. Thus, when using a reflector, the removal of the upper cartridge does not interfere with aiming and firing a subsequent shot.

Additionally, in order to increase the reliability of removing the upper shot cartridge, a side cutout is made on the weapon body, which improves the output of the upper cartridge to the side of the weapon.

The weapon, like the prototype, can be used by contact or remote means. Unlike the prototype, it is preferable to launch the electronic circuit of the weapon by one electric start button, which, depending on the chosen method, can be activated either by pressing the first start key in the remote mode, or by pressing the second start key or switch in the contact method. One common launcher

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Buttons allows you to simplify the electronic circuit of the weapon and reduce its dimensions.

To reduce shock loads, which, as a result of the recoil momentum at the moment of the shot, experience the feed mechanism and stopper, the axis of the feed mechanism lever and the stopper axis are installed in elastic bushings that are attached to the device body. Mounting the axles to the device body through elastic bushings allows to reduce the destructive effect of shock loads and increase the working life of the weapon. In the prototype, the protrusions of the shutter that hold the cartridge in the holder and at the position of the shot are located along the entire body of the cartridge and, thus, when moving the cartridge to the position of the shot are located in close proximity to the point of applying high voltage to the cartridges. As a result of this, the prototype shutter is made of dielectric material and cannot be made, for example, of metal. If the prototype shutter is made of metal, then the electric discharge intended to hit the object will be shunted by the metal shutter body.

The shutter of the inventive weapon, in contrast to the prototype, has short protrusions that hold the cartridge in the holder by fixing the rear of the cartridge case. As a result, when moving the cartridge to the firing position, the protrusions of the shutter are located at a great distance from the points of approach to the cartridges of high voltage. The large distance of the protrusions of the shutter from the points of supply of high voltage eliminates the possibility of bypassing an object that strikes an electric discharge with the metal body of the shutter. Thus, the shutter of the claimed weapons can be made of metal, which increases the reliability and working life of the weapon.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Unlike the prototype, the rear end of the cartridge can have a cutout, and the shutter mirror has a corresponding protrusion that enters the cutout at the end of the cartridge when moving the cartridge to the position of the shot. The presence on the mirror of the shutter protrusion, which is included in the corresponding cutout in the end of the cartridge, allows you to fix the end of the cartridge at the position of the shot. The presence of the protrusion prevents the possibility of lowering the end face of the cartridge into the shaft of the cartridge under the action of the recoil impulse during the shot, thereby fixing the predetermined angle of the cartridge orientation at the position of the shot and increasing the accuracy of the shot. The protrusion on the shutter mirror and the corresponding cutout on the rear end of the cartridges preferably have a cylindrical shape with the same radius of curvature of the surface, and the protrusion of the shutter is a supporting surface for the angular rotation of the cartridge relative to the common axis of the mating cylindrical surfaces when the protrusion of the shutter enters the cutout of the cartridge. The possibility of rotation of the cartridge, resting a cylindrical cutout on the cylindrical protrusion of the shutter, makes it possible to adjust the angle of orientation of the cartridge at the position of the shot by rotating around the common axis of the mating surfaces while simultaneously reliably fixing the end face of the cartridge. When moving the cartridge to the firing position, the front end of the cartridge abuts against the restrictive protrusion of the device body. The presence of a protrusion on the shutter mirror and the corresponding cutout on the end face of the cartridge, as well as the presence of an electronic circuit starting system at the moment the feed mechanism is fixed at the shot position and the presence of a restrictive protrusion on the device body provide an additional function of protection against a shot in case of accidental incorrect loading of the cartridge into the holder. If the cartridge is not loaded correctly in the cartridge (for example, if the direction of the projectile is directed in the opposite direction from the target) then due to the fact that the protrusion of the shutter will not enter the cutout

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the end of the cartridge, the amount of movement of the feed mechanism will be less (by the amount of movement of the protrusion of the shutter when entering the notch of the cartridge) than in the case of the correct orientation of the cartridge. The movement of the feed mechanism will be limited by the fact that the incorrectly oriented cartridge fed to the position of the shot rests with its front end against the restrictive protrusion of the device body before the stopper trips and fixes the feed mechanism. If the cartridge is not loaded correctly, the stopper will not fix the feed mechanism, since the restrictive protrusion of the device body is designed to operate the stopper when the feed mechanism is moved, taking into account the entry of the protrusion of the shutter into the cutout of the cartridge. And since the launch of the electronic circuit when firing is carried out by the protrusion of the stopper only after fixing the feeding mechanism, then if the cartridge is loaded incorrectly, the electronic circuit will not be launched and the firing will not occur.

An advantage of another particular case of the invention is the ability to adjust the angle of orientation of the cartridge at the position of the shot depending on the distance of the shot. The ability to adjust the orientation angle of the cartridge allows you to adjust, depending on the distance of the shot, the angle of divergence of the shells shot at the target. The presence of the angle of divergence of the fired shells in a hand-held small-sized remote electroshock weapon is determined by the fact that to increase the effectiveness of the weapon it is necessary that the distance between the shells after getting into the body of the object is large enough. The greater the distance between the points of voltage supply (shells) on the body of the object, the larger the group of nerves can be affected by the electric current flowing through the body of the object and the more effective the impact on the object. And since, with the relatively small initial dimensions of hand weapons, it is impossible to provide enough

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) large initial separation of shells, in small-sized handguns use angular divergence of shells. However, it is obvious that with the angular divergence of the shells in flight, the distance between the shells increases depending on the distance of the shot. At a certain constant angle of dispersion of the shells, at some distance from the weapon, the shells can disperse to a distance comparable to the size of the target and the shells (or one of the shells) may not hit the target. Manufacturers of hand-held remote stun guns usually select a certain value of the angular divergence of the probes calculated for the maximum distance of the shot so that the difference between the probes at the maximum distance of the shot provides the possibility of hitting the target. So, for example, in a cartridge manufactured by Taser International, which is designed for a maximum distance of 25 feet (7.5m), the value of the specified angular divergence of the projectiles is 8 degrees, which corresponds to a theoretical separation of the probes at a maximum distance of about 95 cm. However, choosing an angle projectile differences, it is also necessary to take into account that the projectile divergence at small and medium distance shots also provides sufficient effectiveness of the defeat. Thus, when choosing the angle of divergence of probes, manufacturers of remote stun guns have to choose between sufficiently high efficiency at small and medium distances and the possibility of aimed hit at a target at long distances. Therefore, a weapon with the ability to adjust the angle of divergence of shells has a clear advantage, which lies in the fact that by setting a different angle of divergence of shells for different shot distances, it is possible to ensure high efficiency of destruction with a high probability of hitting both shells at the target.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The ability to adjust the angle of divergence of shells is achieved through the use of a bolt located in the clip of the weapon, which has a switch for the orientation angle of the cartridge at the position of the shot. In the absence of adjustment, the orientation angle of the cartridge at the position of the shot is determined by the distance from the edge of the protrusion of the bolt holding the cartridge in the holder to the supporting surface of the cartridge mating with the edge of the protrusion. In this case, the cartridge is rotated by a predetermined angle relative to the common axis of rotation of the mating cylindrical surfaces of the cutout at the end face of the cartridge and the protrusion of the shutter included in the cutout of the cartridge.

The orientation angle switch is a plate that is moved along the shutter protrusion of the shutter, and by moving it, it is possible to change the angle of rotation of the cartridge relative to the common axis of rotation of the mating cylindrical surfaces of the cutout at the end of the cartridge and the cylindrical protrusion of the shutter included in the cutout of the cartridge. Sights used in hand-held remote stun guns are usually designed so that the aiming point (for example, the laser pointer point or aiming point by combining the front and rear sights) is as close as possible to the point of impact of the upper projectile. At the same time, the instructions for using the weapon indicate that when shot it is impossible to aim at the head of the object, since getting into the head can lead to significant injury, for example, if it gets into the eye. In view of the foregoing, when adjusting the angle of divergence of shells, it is advisable to adjust the angle of orientation of only the lower cartridge, the point of impact of which at the target will always be below the point of impact of the upper shell. Therefore, in the weapon, according to the claimed invention, when adjusting the orientation angle of the lower cartridge, the angle

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the orientation of the upper cartridge for which sights are designed does not change.

An additional increase in the reliability and effectiveness of the weapon can be achieved due to the fact that the minimum ignition distance of the electric spark arc between the fighting electrodes S and the gap D equal to the distance between the conductive parts in the cartridge channel after the projectile is fired are related by the relation D <S <2D .

In addition, preferably the ratio S <2F is fulfilled, where S is the minimum ignition distance of the electric spark arc between the fighting electrodes, F is the amount of movement of the cartridges to the position of the shot.

It is also preferable that the relation D <2F is fulfilled, where D is the distance between the conductive parts in the cartridge channel after the projectile is shot, F is the amount of cartridges to be moved to the position of the shot.

According to a second aspect of the invention, in order to increase the reliability of firing from the declared weapon, a unitary cartridge for contact-remote electroshock weapons is proposed, which has a barrel with a projectile located in it, the shell of the projectile having helical protrusions with the possibility of their interaction with reciprocal screw cutouts in the barrel or barrel narrowing for messages to the projectile of the angular impulse of rotation during the passage of the projectile through the barrel. When fired, while the screw projections of the projectile are moving along the screw cutouts of the barrel or the barrel constriction of the unitary cartridge, the projectile acquires angular rotation, which additionally stabilizes the projectile during its flight to the target.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Additional stabilization of the projectile by rotation increases the accuracy of the shot of the remote stun gun.

According to a third aspect of the invention, in order to increase the reliability of firing from the claimed weapon, a unitary contact-contact stun gun cartridge with a projectile having an internal cavity in which a conductor used to transmit electric current to a remote object is placed is provided, the conductor being packed in a projectile in the form of a tension spring, and as the material of the spring, solid (elastic) non-insulated aluminum wire with a diameter of O.Ob ÷ O.lZmm is used. The use of a spring made of solid aluminum wire for transmitting the electric effect makes it possible to significantly increase the range and accuracy of the shot of remote electric shock weapons, and the elastic properties of the conductor, made in the form of a tension spring, provide the necessary tension of the wires after the shot, which allows you to effectively transmit the electric effect to the object when the use of bare conductors.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

In more detail, the design and principle of operation of weapons and unitary cartridges for firing from them, according to various aspects of the present invention, will be described below based on the drawings. Figure l shows a General view of the weapon according to the most preferred embodiment of the claimed invention. The weapon has a housing 1, which houses the mechanical and electrical (electronic) components of the weapon. The first launch key 2 (hereinafter also referred to as the “OFF” key) is used to fire a shot using the remote mode of use. On the front of the weapon there are battle electrodes 3. To apply voltage to the battle electrodes in the contact method, the second start key 4 (hereinafter also referred to as the "KOHTAKT" key) is used, and for the convenience of the user, the "KOHTAKT" key can be duplicated on both sides of the weapon body 1 . The key or keys 4 located on both sides of the housing can be controlled by the thumb of the arrow while holding it with the right or left hand. For safe handling, the weapon may have an electric fuse switch that opens the power circuit of the electronic circuitry of the weapon. The keys 5 of the safety switch can also be located on both sides of the weapon body 1. Unitary cartridges 6 are placed in a holder 7. The holder is inserted into the weapon and fixed by a stopper having a protrusion 8 to release

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) clips. On the body 1 of the weapon there are elastic latches 9, which are designed to disconnect the cartridges with the bolt 10 moved when firing, during the extraction of the shot cartridges. The elastic latches have protrusions that, when the cartridges are disconnected with the bolt, enter the hollows of the cage shafts through cutouts 11 on the side walls of the cage. A mechanical sight consisting of a front sight 12 and a rear sight 13 can be used to aim a weapon. A laser pointer can also be used to aim a weapon (not shown in FIG. 1). To offset the upper cartridge during extraction away from the aiming line, a reflector 14 is used. To improve the output of the upper cartridge during extraction, a side cutout 15 is provided on the weapon body.

Figure 2 shows a General view of a unitary cartridge that is used in weapons. At the rear end of the cartridge case 6 there is a concentric cutout 16, which is designed to fix the cartridge at the position of the shot. A conductive membrane 17 is located at the front end of the cartridge 17. High voltage is applied to the front end of the cartridge through the conductive membrane 17 when firing. Additionally, the membrane seals the cartridge, for example, from moisture. The membrane can be made of metal foil on an adhesive basis.

In FIG. 3 shows a section through a unitary cartridge of a multiple-charge stun gun. In the dielectric body of the cartridge 6 there is a channel (barrel) 18 in which the projectile 19 is placed. The shell of the projectile 19 is a thin-walled metal tube inside which the wire 20 is packed. In front of the projectile, a metal head 21 is located in the tube cavity. In order to improve ballistic characteristics of the projectile as a material for the manufacture of the head, it is preferable to use metals with high

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) density, for example copper, brass or lead. In the head 21 there is a hole in which a needle 22 is inserted, designed to fix the projectile on the clothes or body of the affected object. The fastening of the head 21 and the needle 22 to the projectile is carried out by solder 23 by soldering. Alternatively, the head and needle can be attached to the projectile by plastic mechanical compression of the head with the body of the projection inserted into the hole with the needle. On the head housing 21 there is a rod 24 on which an elastic ring 25 is fastened, which is used to fasten the end of the wire 20 to the head 21. When attaching the wire to the head, the end of the wire is threaded through the inner hole of the elastic ring 25, and the ring is put on the head rod 24, after of which, a head with a worn ring is inserted inside the shell body. Thus, the end of the wire is held on the rod 24 of the head, being squeezed by an elastic ring 25. The elastic ring 25 is designed so as to ensure a tight fit of the ring at the place where the ring mates with the rod 24 and the shell of the projectile. As the material of ring 25, rubber, polyurethane, or PVC can be used.

The second end of the wire 20 is attached to the pushing pallet 26. In the pallet 26, which is made of elastic material, there is a central hole into which a metal pin 27 is inserted. When attaching the wire to the pallet, the end of the wire is threaded through the hole of the pallet, and then inserted into the hole pin 27. Thus, the end of the wire is attached to the pallet, being resiliently squeezed between the mating surfaces of the pin and the pallet. The pin 27 is preferably made of aluminum alloy. The tray 26 is made of an elastic material, for example, polyurethane or PVC.

In the particular case concentrically with the barrel 18 in the cartridge may be a metal sleeve 28, acting as a barrel narrowing. The inner diameter of the sleeve 28 is smaller than the diameter

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) barrel 18 and is equal to the outer diameter of the projectile 19. The sleeve 28 stops the pallet 26 in the final acceleration section of the projectile 19 in the barrel of the cartridge 6. In addition, the sleeve 28 plays the role of an electrode through which voltage is applied to the projectile. The voltage is supplied to the end of the sleeve 28 through a metal membrane 17 located on the front end of the cartridge.

The source of energy for projectile throwing 19 is a capsule 29, which is placed in a dielectric container 30. The container 30 is mounted in the cartridge housing on a thread, by pressing when using a tight fit or using a strong adhesive connection. A metal electrode 31 is located in the container 30. The end of the electrode 31 is adjacent to the surface of the pyrotechnic mixture 32, which is located in the cavity of the metal cap of the capsule 29. When a shot is initiated, a high voltage is applied between the end of the electrode 31 and the metal cap of the capsule 29, as a result of which, through the pyrotechnic mixture 32, an electric spark discharge passes and the pyrotechnic mixture ignites.

As described in the application for the invention of the Russian Federation N ° 2005113752, a pyrotechnic composition forming combustion products that do not conduct electric current should be used as a projectile throwing source. Due to the fact that the combustion products do not conduct electric current, the condition is provided that there is no passage of an electric discharge through the cartridge channel filled with combustion products after the shot is fired.

Based on the experiments, it was found that in a unitary cartridge of a multi-charged stun gun, standard Boxer type shock initiation capsules can be used, from which a metal anvil has been previously removed. It has been found that some types of standard impact initiation capsules for firearm cartridges can also be reliably initiated.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) electrospark method. It was also found that during the combustion of a pyrotechnic mixture of some of the existing standard types of capsules, the condition is ensured that the electric discharge does not pass through the cartridge channel filled with combustion products after the shot is fired. The ability to use standard shock initiation capsules, which are widely used in firearms cartridges, can significantly reduce the costs associated with the manufacture of special capsules for a unitary cartridge of stun guns and thereby significantly reduce the cost of firing multiple-shot stun guns.

In order to prevent the projectile from leaving the cartridge case, for example, in the event of a cartridge falling, the cartridge has a composite container 33. The container 33 is tightly inserted into the sleeve 28 and abuts against the head of the projectile 19, tightly fixing the projectile in the cartridge. The container consists of several parts (for example, two), which, when fired, are divided into fragments and do not prevent the projectile from moving towards the target.

Figure 4 shows a section of a unitary cartridge after firing. When firing, after the acceleration of the projectile in the cartridge channel by the pushing tray 26, the pallet having a diameter greater than the diameter of the projectile is stopped by the sleeve 28 and the projectile 19 is separated from the pallet. When the projectile leaves the cartridge, the membrane 17 breaks and the container 33 is divided into fragments. After the shot, a high voltage is supplied to the projectile via a wire 20 opened from the cavity of the projectile, one end of which is attached to the head of the projectile, and the other end to the pallet. High voltage supplied to the membrane 17 and the metal sleeve 28 is transmitted to the wire from the sleeve and / or the metal membrane by mechanical contact (touch) or through a small spark gap.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Figure 5 shows a section of a cartridge for firing with additional stabilization of the projectile by rotation. To give the projectile an impulse of rotation, on the shell of the projectile 19 there are screw protrusions 34, and on the sleeve 28, which plays the role of barrel narrowing, there are corresponding screw grooves 35. When the cartridge is equipped with protrusions, the protrusions 34 of the projectile 19 are included in the corresponding screw grooves 35 of the sleeve. During the shot, when the projectile 19 passes through the sleeve 28, as a result of the interaction of the projections 34 of the projectile with the grooves 35 of the sleeve, the projectile is twisted, and the projectile acquires a rotational momentum. To stabilize the projectile of an electroshock weapon by rotation, the same principle is used as in a weapon with a rifled barrel. However, unlike traditional weapons with a rifled barrel, the remote electric shock projectile 19 initially has screw projections 34 made on the shell of the projectile, which enter the screw cutouts 35 of the cartridge sleeve 28 when the cartridge is equipped, and the barrel or barrel narrowing, which plays the role the guide sleeve 28 of the cartridge is located in the housing of the cartridge. Additional stabilization of the projectile of electroshock weapons by rotation increases its stability on the flight path and thereby increases the accuracy of the shot. In the cartridge of the inventive weapon, a projectile 19 is used, having an internal cavity in which a conductor is used, used to transmit electrical effects to a remote object. When fired, the conductor accelerates along with the projectile. As described above, the throwing of the conductor together with the projectile eliminates the significant energy loss of the projectile associated with the disclosure of the initially stationary conductor pulled by a moving projectile (as is the case, for example, in Taser guns). The conductor is packed in the cavity of the projectile in the form of a tensile spring made of solid (elastic) aluminum bare wire. According to

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) conducted experiments, a tensile spring made of solid aluminum wire with a diameter of O.Ob ÷ O.lZmm has the necessary and sufficient elasticity, which provides tension to the wires and eliminates their intersection after firing at an initial projectile speed of up to 100 m / s or more. The weight of an aluminum wire spring is about three times less than the weight of a similar brass wire spring. Thus, throwing an aluminum spring requires three times less energy than throwing a similar brass spring. Moreover, since the electrical resistivity of aluminum is only 1.6 times greater than that of copper, the transmission of electric current through an aluminum conductor is almost as effective as when using a copper conductor.

Given the significantly lower specific weight of aluminum wire, to ensure the tension of the conductors, excluding their intersection after firing, a significantly lower elastic tensile force is required than when using, for example, brass wire. Therefore, the energy loss of the projectile 19 associated with the presence of elastic force acting on the side of the spring when using elastic aluminum wire is very small, and, in particular, significantly less than similar losses when using elastic brass wire as the spring material. At the same time, the relatively small tension force of the aluminum spring compared to the brass spring significantly reduces the possibility of increasing the air gap between the shells and the body of the object when the shells are attached to the clothes of the object, in particular if the object is dressed in light, freely hanging clothes.

Remote stun guns refers to the so-called non-lethal weapons. One of the main features

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) a non-lethal weapon is to stop an aggressive object in order to significantly reduce the level of threat emanating from the aggressive object. In the Taser weapon, the stop function is that as a result of the passage of electric current pulses through the body of the object, the object loses control of the body muscles and falls. After an object has fallen and is on the ground, the level of threat from it is significantly reduced, since the object has been deprived of the ability to take aggressive actions for some time. After the main stop function is completed, the function of capturing (arresting) an object lying on the ground is greatly simplified. The Taser weapon is designed in such a way that after a shot an electric discharge is automatically generated within 5 seconds. According to the manufacturer Taser, the object stops within 0.5 ÷ 2 seconds. Thus, since insulated wires are used in the Taser weapon and the stopping time of an object is less than the time of automatic generation of an electric discharge, an electric current can pass through the object’s body even after the object has fallen and is on the ground. After 5 seconds after the shot, the generation of electric discharge stops, but at the same time, the electric discharge can be easily restarted by the operator. The duration of each repeated inclusion of the electric discharge is also automatically adjusted and is 5 seconds. Moreover, the total number of repeated inclusions can be tens, or even hundreds of times, and is limited only by the capacity of the electric battery supplying the electronic circuit of the weapon.

Recently, in connection with the widespread use of Taser by police around the world and the increased number of deaths associated with the use of Taser, the issue of the safety of Taser weapons has been widely discussed in the world media. Not currently

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) There is direct evidence that, in fatal situations, Taser was the direct cause of death. In the vast majority of cases of Taser, which ended in death, the objects were under the influence of drugs, which was the main cause of death. At the same time, it is typical that in the overwhelming majority of cases of using Taser, which ended in death, Taser was used for repeated repeated launches of an electric discharge. Thus, the long duration and the possibility of repeated re-launches of an electric discharge is a factor increasing the likelihood of death in the case of using Taser weapons.

Unlike Taser, in weapons according to the claimed invention, uninsulated conductors are used to transmit electric current through the body of the affected object. The insulation between the conductors after fixing the shells on the body or clothing of the object is ensured by the spatial separation of the conductors, and also due to the fact that the conductors are made in the form of tension springs, ensuring their tension and excluding intersection after firing. Since there is no intersection of uninsulated conductors after the shot, this allows you to transfer an electric discharge through the body of the object, providing the function of stopping the object.

After the object falls as a result of the passage of an electric discharge through the body of the object, the conductors intersect and, as a result of a short circuit between uninsulated wires, the electric discharge through the body of the object ceases. Thus, a shot used on a weapon based on uninsulated conductors automatically stops the electric impact on the object immediately after the function of stopping the object (falling) is performed. In this case, after

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the object falls and the wires cross, an electric discharge cannot be passed through the body of the object again. Given that the claimed remote stun gun is multi-charge, in case of disobedience of the object after it stops (for example, if the object tries to get up to continue the attack), a second shot can be fired. However, with each repeated shot, the time during which a current is passed through the body of the object will be strictly limited to the time necessary and sufficient to stop the object, since after crossing uninsulated conductors when the object falls, the electric current through the body of the object stops spontaneously when the conductors are short-circuited . For those cases when uninsulated conductors do not intersect when the object falls (which is extremely unlikely), a weapon may additionally be provided with a scheme for automatically controlling the duration of the discharge, limiting the total discharge time, for example, to three seconds. In addition, to completely reliably limit the maximum discharge time, a weapon variant can be used in which an electromechanical drive is used to fire a shot, controlled by an automatic time delay circuit, which is started by pressing the start key. In this case, after pressing the start key, the cartridges are moved to the firing position by the electromechanical drive, and after a predetermined time (for example, after three seconds), the electromechanical drive automatically extracts the fired cartridges. Thus, in the version of the weapon with an electromechanical drive of the feeding mechanism, the time of passage of an electric discharge through the body of an object can be strictly limited even if, after the object falls, uninsulated conductors do not intersect.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) In general, the use of shells with remote non-stun guns with an uninsulated conductor, packed in a shell cavity in the form of a tensile spring made of solid aluminum wire, makes it possible to effectively stop the aggressive actions of an object and is safer to use. In addition, the use of an uninsulated aluminum conductor for transmitting electrical effects can significantly increase the effective range and accuracy of remote electric shock weapons with a significant reduction in cartridge size.

Figure 6 shows the clip of a multiply charged stun gun with a cut mine shaft. The housing of the casing 7 has two shafts in which unitary cartridges are placed 6. The cartridges can be moved in the shafts of the cage by the feeder 36 under the action of the spring force 37. The cartridges are held in the cage by the protrusions 38 of the shutter 10. The assembled structure of the casing includes a back cover 39, which closes the clip during assembly. The fastening of the cover 39 to the housing of the casing 7 can be carried out with screws or with an adhesive joint. The housing of the casing 7, the cover 39 and the feeder 36 are made of dielectric material. The shutter 10 is made of metal.

7 shows a section of the Central cavity of the cage. As can be seen from Fig. 7, between the shafts of the cage there is a central cavity 40 in which the shutter 10 can move. On the walls of the cavity 40 there are concentric grooves 41, which are guides for the return springs 42 of the shutter 10. On the cover 39 of the cage there is a recess 43 designed for fixing clips in the body of the weapon.

On Fig shows a section of the weapon body with the main parts of the weapon located in the body. The electronic part of the weapon includes: a power source 44 located in the handle of the housing, a safe

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) an electric switch 45, an electric start button 46, an electronic unit 47, and a high voltage transformer 48. A rechargeable battery or a non-rechargeable chemical current source is used as the power source 44. The electronic unit 47 comprises a voltage boost converter circuit and a high voltage pulse generation circuit. The voltage converter increases the voltage of the power source to the charging voltage of the storage capacitor in the circuit for generating high voltage pulses. A high voltage transformer 48 is used to generate high voltage impulse weapons on the fighting electrodes 3. The combat electrodes 3 located on the front of the weapon have current-carrying buses 49 designed to supply high voltage to the cartridges at the firing position. The electronic part of the weapon may also include various additional parts, for example, a slot for charging the battery, a laser target pointer, a built-in flashlight, a miniature video camera, a built-in microcontroller for controlling the electronic unit, an information storage and processing device, a port for recording and reading information, etc. .P.

The safe switch 45 is controlled by keys 5, which are mechanically connected to the switch slider. To control weapons in the contact method, the KOHTAKT keys 4 are used, which are mechanically connected to the rotary switch 50. When the thumb 4 is pressed with the thumb, the rotary switch rotates on the half shafts 51 inserted into the corresponding holes in the weapon body. When turning, the switch 50 turns on the electric start button 46. When the safe switch 45 is turned on, when the button 46 is turned on, the electronic circuit of the weapon is launched and high voltage is applied to the fighting electrodes 3. Contact Defeat

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) carried out by tightly pressing the fighting electrodes to the body or clothing of the object. In this case, an electric discharge from the fighting electrodes passes through the body of the affected object. When you release the key 4, the rotary switch 50 returns to its original position under the action of the return spring (not shown in Fig. 8). When the switch 50 returns to its original position, the electric button 46 is turned off and the electric discharge is stopped.

For firing with the remote method, the “OFF” key 2 is used, a feed mechanism located in the weapon body, comprising a lever 52, a pusher 53, and a stopper 54. There is a cavity 55 in the weapon case for placing a cartridge with unitary cartridges. When firing a shot, the cartridges move from the holder in the cavity 56, made in the weapon body and located at the exit from the holder of the corresponding cartridge. In FIG. 9 shows a clip retainer. When the clip 7 is inserted into the weapon, the latch 57 by the protrusion 58 enters the recess 43 located in the rear cover 39 of the clip. The latch 57 is pressed against the clip by a spring 59. The protrusion 58 has a beveled edge that allows the latch to enter the recess 43 when the clip is inserted. To remove the clip from the weapon, you must move the latch back, abutting against the protrusion 8 of the latch. In this case, the protrusion 58 will come out of the recess 43 and the clip will be released.

In FIG. 10 shows a weapon feed mechanism. 10a and 106, the feeding mechanism is in the initial position. The lever 52 is pivotally mounted on a fixed axis 60, which is fixed in the body of the weapon. To connect the pusher 53 with the lever 52 at one of the ends of the latter, for example, a cylindrical protrusion 61 can be made, which enters the cutout 62 made in the body of the pusher 53.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) The stop 54 is pivotally mounted at one end on a fixed axis 63, which is fixed in the weapon body. The stopper 54 may have a protrusion 66, designed to fix the upper end of the lever 52 in the position of the shot. The stopper 54 may also have a protrusion 65, which in the initial position of the feed mechanism rests on the protrusion 66 located on the key 2 "OFF". The stop 54 is preferably connected to the weapon body by a tension spring 67. One end of the spring 67 is attached to the stop and the other end to the weapon body. Due to the force of the spring 67, a moment of force acts on the stopper 54 relative to the axis 63. An axis 68 is inserted into the key case 2 of the “OFF”, the cylindrical surface of which is in contact with the upper end of the lever 52. In the key body 2 there is a cut-out 69, which is designed to pass (bend) the axis 60 when moving the key.

In Fig. 106, the feed mechanism is shown on the back side with respect to the view shown in Fig. 10a. The lever 52 in the initial position enters the key body through a notch 73 in the key body. The button 2 has a protrusion 70, which abuts the end of the return compression spring 71. The second end of the spring 71 abuts against the body of the weapon. The pusher 53 is connected to the body of the weapon with a tension return spring 72. One end of the spring 72 is attached to the pusher, and the other end to the body of the weapon.

When pressing the key 2, the axis 68 presses the lever 52, which rotates around the axis 60. Turning, the lever 52 protrusion 61, included in the cutout 62 (Fig.10A), moves the pusher 53. The movement of the key 2 and the pusher 53 occurs in the corresponding support guides formed in the weapon body. Pressing the key 2 compresses the return spring of the key 71 and stretches the return spring of the pusher 72.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) When moving the key 2, the stopper 54, under the action of the force of the spring 67 tends to rotate relative to the axis 63. However, the protrusion 66 prevents the stopper from turning in the initial position of the key, and when the key is moved, the lever 52. When moving the key 2, the lever 52 is in contact with surface 74 of the stopper and prevents rotation of the stopper. The surface 74 of the stopper is made in the form of a circular segment.

When the upper edge of the lever 52 reaches the protrusion 64 of the stopper 54, the stopper 54 rotates and the lever 52 engages with the protrusion 64 of the stopper, fixing the feeding mechanism (Fig. SE). At the moment of fixing the feed mechanism, due to the fixing of the lever 52, the pusher 53, mechanically connected with the lever 52, is also fixed.

When you release the key 2, it under the action of the force of the return spring 71 returns to its original position. At the end of the return stroke of the first start key 2, its protrusion 66 acts on the protrusion 65 of the stopper 54 and rotates the stopper 54 in the direction opposite to the direction in which the stopper tends to turn the force of the spring 67. When the stopper is turned by the protrusion 66, the protrusion 64 disengages from the upper end the lever 52, which together with the pusher 53 under the action of the force of the return spring 72 is returned to its original position. Thus, when you release the key 2, it returns to its original position and, separating the stopper with the feed mechanism, releases the feed mechanism. Key 2 and pusher 53 are made of durable dielectric material. For the manufacture of the pusher 53, for example, fiberglass with high mechanical strength can be used. The lever 52, the stopper 54 and the axis 60, 63, 68 can be made of durable plastic or metal.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) 11 shows a sectional view of a weapon at the time of a shot. When the clip with unitary cartridges is inserted into the weapon, then when you move the “OFF” key 2, the pusher 53, mechanically connected to the key 2 through the lever 52, enters the central cavity 40 of the clip and moves the shutter 10. When moving the stop, the cylindrical protrusions 75 of the shutter 10 enter in the corresponding cylindrical cutouts at the rear end of the cartridges 6, and the cartridges are moved to the position of the shot. Cartridges 6 when moving to the position of the shot are pressed against the upper protrusions 38 of the shutter by the force of the feeder springs located in the shafts of the cartridge. The shutter 10, moving under the action of the pusher 53, compresses the return springs 42 located in the Central cavity 40 of the cage. When the cartridges 6 are moved to the firing position, the stopper 54 fixes the lever 52 and the pusher 53 mechanically connected to it. The shutter 10, mechanically connected to the pusher 53, is also fixed. At the moment of fixing the feed mechanism and the shutter 10, the stopper 54 rotates and protrudes 65 by pressing the electric start button 46, which starts the electronic circuit of the weapon. When the electronic circuit is started, a high voltage is applied to the fighting electrodes 3, which is supplied through the bus 49 to the front ends of the cartridges 6. When a high voltage is applied to the front ends of the cartridges, a metal gate 10 closes the initiation circuit of the cartridges at the firing position. When the initiation circuit is closed, an electric discharge passes through the capsule of the cartridges located at the position of the shot. An electric discharge causes ignition of the pyrotechnic mixture by the capsule and a shot occurs, as a result of which shells 19, to which high voltage is applied through wires 20, are fired at the target. When fixing the shells 19 on the body or clothing of the object, an electrical discharge begins to pass through the body of the affected object.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) When fired, a return impulse acts on the cartridges, which is perceived by the metal shutter 10. However, unlike the prototype, the shutter, at the time of the shot, is fixed at the position of the shot by the stopper 54, which is mechanically connected to the shutter 10 through the feed mechanism. Thus, the cartridges at the time of the shot are firmly fixed at the position of the shot. Since the start of the electric button 46 by the protrusion 65 of the stopper occurs only after the stopper fixes the feeding mechanism, the electronic circuit and accordingly the shot only start after the cartridges are fixed at the shot position. An additional advantage of the invention is that, unlike the prototype, after the shot, the force on the start key is reduced, since the force of the return springs 42 of the cage and the return spring of the pusher 72 are perceived by the stopper 54. Since the trigger of the weapon must be held down to transmit the electric discharge through the body of the affected object after firing for a while, reducing the effort on the launch key after firing increases the convenience of controlling weapons. The presence in the weapon of a locking system for the feed mechanism and the trigger mechanism of the electronic circuit, synchronizing the timing of the launch of the electronic circuit with the moment of fixing the feed mechanism at the shot position, in general, can increase the reliability, accuracy and ease of control of the weapon. •.

On Fig shows a view of the weapon in the context at the time of extraction of the shot cartridges. After releasing, key 2, under the action of the force of the return spring, returns to its original position. Upon return, the start key, acting protrusion 66 on the protrusion 65 of the stopper, divides the stopper with the feed mechanism. When disconnecting the feed mechanism with the stopper, the feed mechanism is released and, under the action of the return spring of the pusher, it returns to the original

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) position. At the same time, the released valve under the action of the force of the valve return springs also returns to its original position. When the shutter returns to its original position, the shutter is disconnected from the fired cartridges in the firing position. As a result of separation, the fired cartridges remain at the firing position and when the bolt returns to its initial position, the protrusions 38 of the bolt disengage from the cartridges 6 and under the action of the springs 37, the fired cartridges are ejected from the weapon. The shot cartridges are thrown out along with the opened wire 20, which exits through the slots 76 in the weapon body. Disabling the electronic circuit of the weapon occurs simultaneously with the separation of the stopper and the feeding mechanism, when the protrusion of the stopper 65, under the action of the protrusion 66 of the key 2, rises and turns off the electric button 46. A second shot can be fired immediately after ejecting the shot cartridges by pressing the start key “QUICK” again . An additional advantage of the system used for fixing and uncoupling the feed mechanism with the stopper is independent of the release speed by the operator of the start key, a sharp return of the shutter and feed mechanism to its original position. Thus, the reliability of the extraction of shot cartridges increases in the weapon.

On Fig shows a damping system for the recoil impulse of cartridges during firing. To damp the recoil momentum, elastic bushings 77 and 78 are used, in which the axles 60 and 63 are attached, respectively. Elastic bushings 77 and 78 are placed in the corresponding landing holes made in the weapon body. When fired, the recoil momentum is perceived by the shutter and is transmitted via mechanical communication to the elements of the feed mechanism, which is fixed by the stopper 54 at the moment of the shot. Ultimately, the recoil momentum

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) perceived by the axis 60 of the lever and the axis 63 of the stopper, on which the lever and stopper are attached to the body of the weapon. The use of elastic bushings 77 and 78 allows to reduce the destructive effect of the recoil pulse and thereby increase the working life of the feed mechanism under shock loads. The elastic bushings 77 and 78 are made of rubber or polyurethane.

In FIG. 14 shows a view of a weapon with a local cutaway when fixing a unitary cartridge in the position of the shot. In the position of the shot, the cartridge 6 is pressed against the protrusion 38 of the shutter by the force of the spring of the cage feeder. The rear end of the cartridge is pressed by the protrusion 75 of the shutter, which enters the corresponding cutout on the rear end of the cartridge and additionally fixes the rear end of the cartridge from moving in the direction of the shaft of the holder under the influence of the recoil pulse. The protrusion 75 of the shutter and the corresponding cutout on the end face of the cartridge have a cylindrical shape with the same radius of curvature, and the protrusion on the mirror of the shutter is a supporting surface for the angular rotation of the cartridge relative to the common axis of the mating cylindrical surfaces when the protrusion of the shutter enters the cutout of the cartridge. The front end of the cartridge is fixed by a protrusion 79 on the weapon body, which is located in the cavity 56, where the cartridges are moved from the holder when fired. Thus, the cartridge at the position of the shot is securely fixed by the protrusions 38 and 75 of the shutter and the protrusion 79 on the weapon body. The angle of horizontal orientation of the cartridge at the position of the shot α, which determines the total angle of divergence of the projectiles β when flying to the target, is set by rotating the cartridge relative to the common axis of the mating cylindrical surfaces of the protrusion 75 and the corresponding cutout on the end of the cartridge. The angle β is equal to the sum of the orientation angles of the two cartridges at the position of the shot. The value of the angle of horizontal orientation of the cartridge at the position of the shot is determined by the distance from the edge of the protrusion 38 of the shutter holding the cartridge in

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) clip to the supporting surface of the cartridge mating with the edge of the protrusion, as well as the dimensions of the cartridge, and is set constructively.

The recoil momentum acting on the cartridge at the time of the shot, due to the presence of the initial orientation angle α, creates a rotational moment relative to the common axis of rotation of the mating cylindrical surfaces of the protrusion 75 and the corresponding cutout on the end of the cartridge, which tends to increase the angle of rotation of the cartridge. However, since an increase in the angle of rotation of the cartridge is prevented by the upper protrusion 38 of the shutter, the rotational moment contributes to an additional preload of the cartridge to the protrusion 38. Thus, the rotational moment acting on the cartridge at the moment of firing helps to fix the initial orientation angle α of the cartridge at the position of the shot and, in particular, prevents its reduction. A decrease in α can lead to an angular convergence of the shells when flying to the target and thereby reduce the accuracy and efficiency of the weapon.

The cartridge locking system used by the weapon at the firing position additionally provides protection against firing when the cartridge is loaded incorrectly into the holder. The cartridge is correctly inserted into the holder if the orientation of the cylindrical cutout at the rear end of the cartridge allows the cylindrical protrusion of the shutter 75 to enter the cartridge cutout. If the cartridge is not correctly oriented, the protrusion 75 of the shutter does not enter the notch of the cartridge, and after stopping the cartridge by the protrusion 79, the shutter does not reach the design position at which the shot occurs. Since the movement of the shutter occurs until the front end of the cartridge abuts against the protrusion 79, when the cartridge is not oriented correctly, the movement of the shutter is less by an amount equal to the distance by which the shutter moves when the protrusion 75 enters the cutout on the end of the cartridge. The launch of the electronic circuit that provides the initiation of the shot occurs only after pressing the electric

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the button 46 with the protrusion 65 of the stopper while fixing the feed mechanism with the stopper 54 (Fig. 11). But since when the cartridge is not correctly oriented, the movement of the shutter 10 and the feeding mechanism mechanically connected with it is less, then the fixing of the feeding mechanism by the stopper 54 and accordingly the operation of the button 46, which starts the electronic circuit of the weapon, does not occur. Thus, the launch of the electronic circuit initiating the shot is possible only if the cartridge is loaded correctly into the clip.

As described above, when the shot cartridges are extracted, the cartridges with the shutter are disconnected. FIG. 15 shows the uncoupling mechanism in the form of an elastic latch 9. An elastic latch 9 is placed on the weapon body. The latch has a protrusion 80, which can enter the cavity of the shaft of the holder through the cutouts 11 (Fig. 1) on the side walls of the holder. When moving the cartridges and the feeder along the shaft of the holder, the protrusion 80 is squeezed out due to the elastic properties of the latch 9 and leaves the cavity of the shaft, without interfering with the movement of the cartridges and the feeder along the shaft of the holder. For this, the protrusion 80 has beveled or rounded edges. The protrusion 80 of the latch 9 is located so that after moving the cartridge 6 to the position of the shot, the protrusion 80 is behind the rear end of the cartridge and enters the cavity of the shaft of the holder. When carrying out the extraction of the shot cartridge, the shutter 10 returns to its original position. In this case, the cartridge 6, pressed against the protrusion 38 of the shutter by the force of the feed spring, under the action of friction, seek to move in the direction of return of the shutter. However, the presence of the protrusion 80, which abuts against the rear end of the cartridge, prevents the reverse movement of the cartridge and the cartridge remains at the position of the shot, disconnecting from the protrusion 38 of the shutter. When the shutter returns to its original position, the protrusion 38 disengages from

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) cartridge case. At this point, the cartridge is released and under the action of the force of the feed spring is thrown out of the weapon.

On Fig shows a variant of the separation of the cartridge with the shutter, in which the cartridge 6 is used for separation, on the housing of which an additional protrusion 81 is formed. The cartridges with the protrusion 81 are inserted into the holder so that the face on which the protrusion is formed is turned towards the protrusion 38 as shown in FIG. 16. The protrusion 81 is made in such a way that after moving the cartridge 6 to the position of the shot, the protrusion of the next cartridge in the clip is behind the rear end of the cartridge located at the position of the shot. After the protrusion 81 of the next cartridge in the cage is behind the rear end of the cartridge, moved to the position of the shot, the next cartridge in the cage moves along the shaft of the cage by a distance equal to the height of the protrusion and is pressed against the upper cartridge by the force of the feed spring. When performing extraction, moving the shot cartridge in the direction of movement of the shutter 10, which returns to its original position, prevents the protrusion of the next 81 cartridge in the holder and due to the engagement of the end face of the cartridge with the protrusion 81 of the next cartridge in the holder, the fired cartridge is disconnected with the shutter. Further, the extraction of the shot cartridge is carried out in the same way as in the variant of isolation using an elastic latch. To disconnect the last cartridge, which is ejected from the cavity of the shaft of the holder by the feeder, the side of the feeder body facing toward the protrusion 38 also has a protrusion similar to the protrusion on the cartridge case.

It should be noted that a cartridge having a protrusion 81 can also be used in weapons, in which an elastic latch is used to disconnect the cartridge from the shutter. In this case, when uncoupling can be

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Both versions of isolation are involved, which significantly increases the reliability of the isolation system.

As noted above, the disadvantage of the prototype is that the extraction of the upper cartridge takes place vertically upward, which may interfere with the operator's re-firing, diverting the operator’s attention when aiming, or if, for example, in the event of a fall, the upper cartridge will collide with a weapon or catch a weapon with a wire. In order to prevent this drawback, the reflector 82 shown in FIG. 17 is used in the weapon according to the claimed invention. The reflector 82 is an elastic element that is attached to the body of the weapon. The reflector may be made of resilient plastic or metal. When extracting the upper cartridge 6, the reflector 82 acts on the cartridge with a force whose direction is perpendicular to the direction of extraction of the cartridge. Under the action of elastic force, the cartridge acquires an impulse directed away from the weapon. As a result of this, cartridge extraction occurs up and to the side. Thus, during extraction, the upper cartridge does not cross the line of sight and does not collide with a weapon when dropped.

For free exit of the upper cartridge during extraction, a side cutout 83 is made on the weapon body.

A distinctive feature of the claimed weapon is the ability to adjust the angular divergence of shells depending on the distance of the shot. The need for angular divergence of shells in a hand-held remote stun gun, as described above, is due to the dependence of the effectiveness of the physiological action of the weapon on the distance between the shells when it hits the target, which, in turn, depends on the magnitude of the angular divergence of the shells and the distance of the shot. The ability to change the angular divergence of shells depending on the distance of the shot allows

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) high accuracy of the shot with high efficiency of the physiological action in a wide range of lesion distances. The angular divergence adjustment mechanism is made in the form of a switch 84 (Fig. 18). The switch is located on the protrusion 38 of the shutter and may have, for example, two lockable position. For example, in the first position, indicated in FIG. 18 by the pointer 85, the switch sets the maximum angular divergence of the shells, in which the weapon is effectively used at small and medium distance shots. In the second position, indicated by the pointer 86, the switch sets the minimum angular divergence of the shells, in which the weapon is effectively used at medium and long range shots. Alternatively, a multi-position adjustment of the angular divergence of shells can be used in the weapon. In this case, the angle adjustment can be carried out with multi-positional movement of the switch along the scale applied on the protrusion 38, graduated in such a way as to provide optimal angular divergence of the shells for the selected shot distance.

The device for the switch of the angle of orientation of the cartridge at the position of the shot is shown in Fig. 19. A switch 84 located on the outer side of the protrusion 38 of the shutter 10 is attached to an adjustment plate 87 located on the inner side of the protrusion 38. On the protrusion 38 there is a notch 88 in which the switch 84 is moved with the adjustment plate 87 attached along the protrusion 38. In FIG. 20 shows how to adjust the angle of orientation of the cartridge by the position of the switch. The orientation angle of the cartridge 6 at the position of the shot is determined by the angle of rotation of the cartridge relative to the common axis of the mating cylindrical surfaces, when the cylindrical protrusion 75 of the shutter enters the cylindrical cutout 16 at the end

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) cartridge. The maximum angle of rotation of the cartridge sc, corresponding to the position of the switch for firing from near and medium distance, is limited by the surface of the protrusion 38. The minimum angle of rotation of the cartridge α ₂ , corresponding to the position of the switch for shooting from the middle and long distance, is limited by the surface of the adjusting plate 87. The intermediate angle of rotation of the cartridge in the range from Ci ₁ to α ₂ can be obtained by moving the switch to the corresponding intermediate position.

As described above, the sights of remote electric shock weapons are designed so that the aiming point coincides with the point of impact of the upper projectile. Therefore, it is advisable to adjust the total angular divergence of the shells only by changing the orientation angle of the lower cartridge, while maintaining a constant orientation angle of the upper cartridge.

Fig. 21 illustrates the conditions for the transmission of an electric discharge through the body of an object with a remote weapon use method. After moving the cartridges 6 to the firing position and applying a high voltage to the front ends of the cartridges through the conductive tires 49 of the combat electrodes 3, a shot occurs. When the shot is initiated, an electric discharge passes through each of the cartridges in a chain: bushing 28, metal shell of a projectile 19 (or, alternatively, in a chain of a projectile head 21, wire 20) pin 27 of a pallet, cap 29 of a capsule, electrode 31 (Fig. 3) . The electrodes 31 of the cartridges located at the firing position are interconnected by a conductive metal shutter 10, which is in contact with the electrodes 31 of the cartridges using protrusions 75 included in the corresponding cutouts at the ends of the cartridges. As a result of the ignition of the pyrotechnic composition of the cartridge capsule, shells 19 are fired at the target. After firing, discharge circuit initiation

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the shot is opened, and after the shells 19 are fixed on the body or clothing of the object, an electric discharge passes through the body of the object, conventionally indicated in FIG. 21 as resistance 89. When discharged through the body of an object, high voltage is supplied from the metal bushings 28 to the shells 19 through the metal wires 20.

The initiation circuit is opened due to the fact that, as a result of the shot, the projectile flies out of the cartridge, and the tray 26 with a metal pin and capsule 29 moves relative to the electrode 31 by a distance D. After the pyrotechnic mixture is burned with a capsule, the channel (barrel) 18 made in dielectric the housing of the cartridge 6, has insulating properties that limit the passage of an electric discharge between the electrodes 31 and the metal bushings 28, to which a high voltage is applied during firing. The absence of electric discharge passing between the metal sleeve 28 and the protrusion 38 of the metal shutter 10 through the cartridge case is ensured by the high dielectric strength of the material of the cartridge case 6 and due to the spatial separation between the front end of the cartridge, to which a high voltage is supplied and the protrusion 38 of the metal shutter 10. The possibility of spatial diversity the protrusion 38 and the front end of the cartridge is provided by the design of the shutter 10, which, unlike the prototype, has a relatively short Kie protrusions 38. The use of short projections 38 shutter 10 in particular allows to manufacture metal shutter 10, unlike the prior art in which shutter projections must be made of a dielectric material. Since during the shot, the bolt affects the recoil of cartridges, the possibility of manufacturing the bolt 10 of metal, in turn, allows to increase its mechanical strength and, accordingly, increase the reliability and durability of the weapon.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) Combat electrodes 3 weapons, which are used to transmit an electric discharge in the contact method, simultaneously play the role of discharge electrodes, which limit the open circuit voltage of the high voltage discharge. The maximum amplitude of the voltage generated on the combat electrodes 3 is determined by the value of the discharge gap S, which is equal to the minimum distance between the combat electrodes. In idle mode, the gap S provides ignition of the arc of an electric discharge, which propagates through the air channel between the fighting electrodes 3. The idle mode corresponds to the mode of use of weapons, when the total distance between the shells 19 or the fighting electrodes 3 and the body of the object significantly exceeds the distance S. Thus , the value of S determines the maximum possible removal of shells or combat electrodes from the body of the object (for example, when fixing shells on clothes separated from the body of the object and an air gap) at which the object through a body passage still possible due to the electric discharge spark air gap between the shells / martial electrodes and an object body.

The distance F (Fig.21) is equal to the amount of movement of the cartridge at the position of the shot. The value of F is equal to the distance between the front end of the cartridge at the position of the shot and the front end of the next cartridge in the holder, as well as the distance between the rear end of the cartridge at the position of the shot and the rear end of the next cartridge in the holder.

To ensure the reliability of the functioning of the weapon, the values of D, F, and S can preferably be interconnected by certain ratios.

The value of D is related to the value of S by the following relation:

D <S <2D (1)

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) D is the distance between the conductive parts in the channel of the cartridge after the shot of the projectile;

S is the minimum ignition distance of the electric spark arc between the fighting electrodes. Preferably, the value of D is selected from the range (0.7 ÷ 0.9) S.

The specified ratio between the values of D and S provides reliable ignition of the capsules of both cartridges, moved to the position of the shot, as well as reliable opening of the initiation circuit after the operation of the capsules of both cartridges. For example, if during the initiation of a shot, as a result of the passage of the first discharge through the cartridge capsules, one of the capsules does not ignite, then after the projectile leaves the cartridge, the capsule of which is ignited, the initiation circuit will be partially opened due to the formation of an insulating gap D in the channel of the cartridge, however, since the value of D is less than or equal to the value of S, and the chain of initiation of the cartridge, the capsule of which is not ignited, remains closed, then through the capsule of the cartridge that did not work will repeat discharge pulses until the capsule composition ignites. After the capsules of both cartridges are triggered, the value of the isolating isolating gap in the shot initiation circuit becomes equal to twice the value D. Preferably, the magnitude of the isolating isolating gap in the shot initiation circuit becomes equal to (1.4 ÷ 1.8), i.e., 40 ÷ 80% exceeds the value of S. Since the insulating gap in the initiation circuit becomes larger than S, then the discharge through the initiation circuit stops and begins to go through the gap S, and after closing the circuit, when shells hit the target , - through the body of the object.

Moreover, if the value of F is too small in comparison with the value of S, then in this case, when fired, it is possible

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the next cartridge in the clip. The initiation of the next cartridge in the holder can occur if a value equal to 2F is less than S. In this case, after the formation in the cartridge located at the position of the shot, the insulating gap D, a spark discharge can pass through the capsule of the next cartridge in the holder, when passing spark discharge between the front and rear end of the cartridge at the position of the shot and, respectively, the front and rear end of the next cartridge in the holder. This can happen, for example, if the capsule of one of the cartridges does not work when the first discharge passes through the initiation circuit.

Therefore, in order to exclude the possibility of accidentally initiating the next cartridge in the cartridge when initiating cartridges moved to the position of the shot, the value of F, equal to the distance the cartridge moves to the position of the shot and the value of S, it is advisable to relate the following relationship:

S <2F (2)

F is the amount of movement of cartridges to the position of the shot; S is the minimum ignition distance of the electric spark arc between the fighting electrodes; Preferably, the value of F is selected from the range (0.7 ÷ 0.9) S.

The specified ratio between the values of F and S excludes the possibility of initiating the next cartridge in the holder. In this case, when the cartridge is moved to the firing position by a distance F, the gap that isolates the next cartridge in the holder from the passage of a spark discharge through it turns out to be 2F. Thus, since the size of the gap isolating the next cartridge in the holder from the passage of the spark discharge through it is preferably 40 ÷ 80% greater than the value of S, the spark discharge through

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the gap S becomes preferable, which eliminates the possibility of a spark discharge passing through the next cartridge in the clip.

Additional protection against the possible passage of a spark discharge through the next cartridge in the holder can be provided, for example, if the values of F and D are interconnected by the following ratio:

D <2F (3)

F is the amount of movement of cartridges to the position of the shot; D is the distance between the conductive parts in the channel of the cartridge after the shot of the projectile;

Preferably, the value of F is selected from the range (0.7 ÷ 0.9) D.

When relation (3) is fulfilled, when the cartridge is moved to the firing position by a distance F, the gap that isolates the next cartridge in the holder from the passage of a spark discharge through it turns out to be 2F or (1.4 ÷ 1.8) D. Thus, since the size of the gap isolating the next cartridge in the holder from the passage of the spark discharge through it is preferably 40 ÷ 80% higher than the value of D, the spark discharge through the gap D becomes preferable, which excludes the possibility of the passage of the spark discharge through the next cartridge in the holder .

Fig. 22 illustrates the conditions for the transmission of an electric discharge through the body of an object in contact with a weapon. A distinctive feature of the weapon is the ability to use it in a contact way, when a clip with cartridges 6 is inserted into the weapon. This, in particular, distinguishes multi-charged stun guns from the single-shot Taser, and provides the operator with the opportunity of priority use of weapons in a contact or remote manner, depending on the situation.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) As can be seen from Fig. 22, when the discharge from the fighting electrodes 3 passes through the body of the object 89 or when the idle electric discharge passes between the electrodes 3, the initiation circuit of the cartridges located in the holder is isolated from the possibility of a spark discharge passing through the cartridge capsules with an insulating gap, the value which is equal to 2F. As can be seen, in the case of the contact use of weapons with an inserted clip, reliable protection of the cartridges in the clip from accidental initiation is also ensured by the fulfillment of condition (1). In conclusion, it should be noted that the above preferred example is provided only for a better understanding of the essence and advantages of the claimed invention and cannot be considered as restrictive. The specialist is clear that in the framework of the present invention, other specific options for the embodiment of weapons or ammunition are possible, without going beyond the requested scope of legal protection, which is fully determined solely by the attached claims.
