Abstract
A low lethality impact sub-munition and method of making same, the sub-munition including a closed compartment containing a concentration of payload material in close proximity to the forward end of the compartment and a charge of ballast material rearward of the payload material. At least the forward end of the compartment is sufficiently porous that at least some of the payload material will disperse through the forward end but not the ballast material upon impact of the sub-munition with a target.
