Abstract (en)

A net launching system comprising a net launcher and multi-component projectile,wherein the net launcher comprises a barrel for accelerating the multi-component projectile and a fire mechanism for firing the multi component projectile in the barrel by causing the pressure at one end of the barrel for accelerating the multi-component projectile,wherein the multi-component projectile comprises a plurality of weights connected by a net, wherein the multi-component projectile is configured to open the net by the radial forces on the weights caused by a rotation of the multi-component projectile,characterized in thatthe barrel has a twisted form configured to cause a rotation of the multi-component projectile around the longitudinal axis of the barrel, when the multi-component projectile is accelerated in the barrel, andthe multi-component projectile in the barrel before being fired by the fire mechanism has a twisted form corresponding to the twisted form of the barrel such that the acceleration of the multi-component projectile along the longitudinal axis of the barrel causes the rotation of the multi-component projectile around the longitudinal axis of the barrel.
