Abstract: Flexible anti-riot kinetic energy projectile is deformed when it impacts a target, which make it difficult to evaluate the specific kinetic energy of projectile. Three methods, such as traditional wounding assessment, animal experiment and wounding assessment based on impact pressure, are used to evaluate the wounding efficiency of the flexible anti-riot kinetic projectile. The experimental results show that the traditional lethality assessment method is not appropriate for the flexible anti-riot kinetic projectile, and the lethality assessment method based on impact pressure could be adopted to evaluate the wounding efficiency of the flexible anti-riot kinetic projectile while the one-quarter principle is used.

Key words: ordnance science and technology, flexible anti-riot kinetic energy projectile, animal experiment, wounding efficiency, pressure
