Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9740332A1] A weapon system comprising a firearm (2, 83) having a barrel through which a projectile may be propelled and further comprising non-lethal means (3, 60) for selectively ejecting a stream of fluid (5), such as an incapacitant, in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the barrel and aligned with the sights of the firearm (2). The system removably houses a fluid containing pressurised canister (19, 74), the outlet (21, 75) of the canister (19, 74) cooperating with an interchangeable or adjustable nozzle (4, 24, 71) for the release of said fluid from said canister (19, 74) under control of a nozzle trigger mechanism (6, 28, 62-65). The pressurised canister (19, 74), nozzle (4, 25, 71) and nozzle trigger mechanism (6, 28, 62-65) may be removably mounted on said firearm (2, 83).
