A cartridge for propelling a pair of wire-tethered contact darts for
disabling a remote target with an electrical discharge. The cartridge
comprises two bores each having one wire-tethered dart in front of an
electrically activated pyrotechnic. A cartridge contains two separated
straight bores, which each launch a single dart assemblage with a single
primer of standard manufacture. A single 200 large rifle primer can
launch a single dart assemblage reasonably accurately to 30 feet from the
cartridge. Each assemblage is deflected to a predicted angle of flight
when it collides with a center hinged cover as it exits the cartridge.
This arrangement allows for longer flight distances and tighter, but
still effective, dart spreads throughout the travel.
