US12523453 - Projectiles and projectile deployment systems

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.

The patent describes a projectile featuring a shell with a cavity, retainers, and a bolo that is released by a backplate when imbalanced forces occur during deployment. This design aims to enhance the projectile’s effectiveness by ensuring the bolo is deployed at the right moment.
