Abstract
A projectile includes a shell defining a cavity and one or more retainers. A bolo is disposed within the cavity and a backplate is engaged with the one or more retainers. The backplate is configured to separate from the shell to release the bolo in response to imbalanced forces resulting from deploying the projectile.
