Patent Images
1. A launch canister for a simulated armament, the canister containing a plurality of non-lethal pellets and comprising:
- a. a hollow cylindrical outer canister shell with a length and both outer and inner circumferences, said outer canister shell having a first plurality of cylindrical bores extending through its length and located proximate its outer circumference;
b. a cylindrical inner core with a length, said inner core having an outer circumference and fitting within the hollow canister shell'"'"'s inner circumference and having a second plurality of cylindrical bores extending through its length and located proximate its outer circumference;
c. means for joining the outer canister shell and the inner core;
wherein, each bore of the pluralities of cylindrical bores has a diameter sufficient to accommodate and hold the non-lethal pellets.

Abstract
A launch canister for non-lethal pellets may be used to simulate the use of both personal and anti-personnel weapons. The canister features at least two components, an inner core and outer shell, that are nested and both featuring a plurality of launch bores. Gaskets ring the outside surface of the components, but have slight interface with the internal bores. The gaskets then hold a stack of pellets within each bore until the canister is placed in a launch device and the payload released.

9. A simulated anti-personnel armament comprising:
-
a. an armament receiver with a barrel; b. a gas supply in fluid communication with the receiver barrel; c. a launch canister for containing non-lethal ammunition for the simulated anti-personnel armament, the launch canister fitting within the barrel of the armament receiver and further comprising; i. a hollow cylindrical outer canister shell with a length, said outer canister shell having a first plurality of cylindrical bores extending through its length and located proximate its outer circumference; ii. a cylindrical inner core with a length, said inner core fitting within the hollow canister shell and having a second plurality of cylindrical bores extending through its length and located proximate its outer circumference; iii. means for joining the outer canister shell and the inner core; iv. the outer canister shell fitting within an interior of the receiver barrel but leaving a space between a bottom of the receiver barrel and a bottom of the outer canister shell into which the gas supply empties; wherein, each bore of the pluralities of cylindrical bores has a diameter sufficient to accommodate and hold the non-lethal ammunition and the launch canister seals the barrel of the armament so as to allow a build-up of gas pressure which will launch the non-lethal ammunition from the canister. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
