Abstract
An electronic weapon impedes locomotion by a target by conducting a current through an electrode and through the target to produce contractions in skeletal muscles of the target that impede locomotion by the target. The weapon may include a deployment unit to deploy one or more electrodes away from the apparatus toward the target. The deployment unit may include an electrically fired primer, a first cavity, a second cavity, and a partition. The first cavity may include a pyrotechnic charge that produces a gas at an increasing pressure when ignited by the primer. The partition between the first cavity and the second cavity opens, in response to the pressure increasing to a threshold magnitude in the first cavity, to propel the electrode from the second cavity by a sudden release of the pressure.
