Ring Airfoil Projectile

Ring Airfoil Projectile

Ring airfoil projectile (RAP) is designed as an incapacitant. The original design has kinetic and chemical variants. The design of the RAP is an aerodynamic, circular-shaped munition that uses a blunt force to sting the subject, discharges a chemical on impact, or both.
