Abstract
The present invention relates to a non-lethal projectile. The projectile (,) comprises a longitudinal body (,) having internally a longitudinal striker (,) suitable for perforating a container (,) of fluid under pressure in controlled manner, in particular by impact of the projectile (,) on a target. The striker (,) has an internal passage (,) opening to the outside of the body (,) via channels (,) made through a rigid wall (,) secured to the body (,) such that the outlet offered to the fluid under pressure remains disengaged even if the impact is accompanied by the deformation of the container (,). The fluid contained in the container (,) can thus escape and spread over the target even in such a case.
