Abstract
A non-lethal small arms analogous projectile 10 and reader-target for use in sporting, amusement, or training applications is described, wherein the non-lethal projectile 10 contains encoded information and means for transmitting the encoded information upon coinciding with the reader-target 22. The non-lethal projectile 10 contains a transmitter or transponder 18 which is activated upon coinciding with the reader-target 22, communicating data 42 to a receiver 36 within the reader-target which can then operate hit-indicating means 24, and transfer the data to a computer via contact, or wireless, connection for further analysis and interpretation. The non-lethal projectile 10 can be formed in any of a variety of shapes for use in many diverse applications and can be encased in a resilient, energy-absorbing material to withstand many reuses.
