- the non-lethal munition 1 is intended to be introduced into a launcher and to be fired towards a target, preferably a human target, for example a person to be neutralized. She is destined to reach the target but she must not kill her. It must instead be stopped on the surface of the human target, without piercing it and without reaching vital organs, and it must not produce an impact too powerful on the target.
- the munition according to the invention meets these expectations.
- the non-lethal munition 1 according to the invention is of generally cylindrical shape. It preferably has a diameter of 37, 38, 40 or 56 mm, but may be of any other diameter.

- the sleeve 2 comprises a space 6, called high pressure chamber. It is located in the lower part of the sleeve 2 and it extends inwards from the base 22 of the sleeve 2. Advantageously, it does not appear protruding in the ammunition 1, it is on the contrary completely integrated in the mass of the lower part of the sleeve 2, so that it does not protrude from another part.
- This high-pressure chamber 6, generally cylindrical, comprises a hole or a communication passage 61 which opens on the open upper part of the sleeve 2. This hole or passage 61 is intended to make the high pressure chamber 6 communicate with a chamber low pressure 62. It is advantageously closed by a brass cap 63 which is preferably positioned on the side of the high pressure chamber 6.
- the cap 63 has a diameter preferably equal to that of the chamber 6 so that it covers the entire upper surface.
- This brass cap 63 has a low resistance and is calibrated to tear under the effect of pressure. Its position against the upper surface inside the high pressure chamber 6 is advantageous because it allows only the part of the lid which is opposite the communication hole 61, and not the entire lid, it tears and starts under the effect of the pressure that rises in the chamber 6. It also prevents the lid from being detached if it was positioned on the side of the low pressure chamber 62.
- the brass cap 63 has It is also advantageous not to let the high-pressure chamber 6 escape than the gases but no powder.
- the brass cap 63 may be replaced by a plastic cover, forming for example an integral part of the sleeve (2).

- the explosive powder 72 is kept in contact with the primer by a foam 73 inside the sleeve 70.
- Foam 73 guarantees a good mechanical seal of the propulsion unit 7, preventing the powder 72 from escaping.
- the foam 73 and the brass cap 63 guarantee a total combustion of the powder 72, which ensures a regularity of a munition 1 to another.
- the amount of powder 72 is chosen as a function of the amount of kinetic energy and the desired momentum.
- the firing mechanism When the munition 1 according to the invention is inserted into a launcher, the firing mechanism is engaged on the weapon, it is striking on the primer 71.
- the primer makes a spark that ignites the powder 72 maintained by the foam 73. While burning, the powder 72 releases propellant gases whose pressure unfolds and opens the crimping of the brass tube. The gases are released into the high pressure chamber 6 and the pressure rises to a point where the brass cap 63 breaks. The gases then pass into the low pressure chamber 62 through the communication hole 61, exert on the inner surfaces of the base 3 a pressure which expels the projectile from the sleeve 2.
- the bushing 2 is preferably made of plastic, and not of metal, so that it does not deform, especially if it falls.
