Abstract:
The present invention discloses a personal protection device for using multiple less-lethal ammunition options. The device is comprised of a lightweight carbon-composite forearm gauntlet sleeve assembly having a multiplicity of external mounts for shortened vented composite less-lethal ammunition barrels of various calibers or other less-lethal ammunition dispensers. In addition, Picatinny Rail attachment points are provided for mounting external tactical gear. Internally, the gauntlet sleeve assembly contains a pistol grip with an electronic control system for selecting and activating individual less-lethal ammunition dispensers in any desired sequence. The invention thus provides the user with multiple selectable less-lethal ammunition options in a single reconfigurable device requiring only one-handed operation while protecting the operating arm. The device has defense utility for both law enforcement and civilians in riots, violent protests, domestic disturbances, commercial aircraft cabins, cruise ships, malls, warehouses, offices and home defense.
