Baton with Electrified Net Launcher Specification

1. Dimensions & Weight:
   • Length: 36 inches extended, 24 inches when retracted (telescopic design for portability)
   • Diameter: 1.5 inches at the handle, tapering to 1 inch at the tip
   • Weight: Approximately 2.5 lbs (including the charge and net mechanism)
2. Material:
   • Exterior: Durable, lightweight composite material (e.g., carbon fiber for strength and reduced weight)
   • Handle: High-grip rubberized material for secure handling in various conditions
   • Internal Components: Non-conductive, heat-resistant polymers to safely house electrical components
3. Net Launcher Mechanism:
   • Net Storage: Compact, spring-loaded canister within the baton's body, storing a lightweight, strong synthetic fiber net (similar to spider silk for strength-to-weight ratio).
   • Charge: Compressed gas (e.g., CO2 or nitrogen) for propulsion, with a charge capacity for 3-5 shots before needing a refill.
4. Electrification System:
   • Voltage: Capable of delivering a non-lethal shock of approximately 50,000 volts for incapacitation, with adjustable settings for less-lethal scenarios.
   • Battery: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery, integrated into the baton's handle, providing power for 10-15 shocks on a full charge.
   • Safety Features: Automatic shut-off after 5 seconds of contact to prevent prolonged exposure; failsafe mechanism to prevent accidental discharge.
5. Firing Mechanism:
   • Trigger: A discreet button on the handle activates the net launcher.
   • Range: Effective range of 10 to 15 feet to deploy the net over the target.
   • Accuracy: Designed with a simple sighting system for better aim, considering wind and movement.
6. Net Specifications:
   • Size: When fully deployed, the net spans 8 feet in diameter to cover a human-sized target.
   • Material: Conductive threads woven into the net to distribute the electrical charge evenly across the net's surface.
7. Safety and Compliance:
   • Certifications: Must comply with local and international laws regarding non-lethal weapons, including electrical discharge devices.
   • User Safety: Insulated grip to protect the user from electric shock; clear warnings and user instructions on the device.
8. Maintenance and Durability:
   • Water Resistance: At least IP54 rating to protect against dust and water splashes.
   • Serviceability: Easily replaceable gas canister and accessible battery compartment for maintenance.
9. Additional Features:
   • LED Torch: For shedding light on the situation.
   • LED Indicator: Shows charge level of battery and gas canister.
   • Training Mode: Option to deploy the net without electrification for practice scenarios.
10. Legal and Ethical Considerations:

    This device must be used in accordance with the law, and only by individuals legally permitted to carry and use such tools. Training on its use, understanding the implications of its deployment, and the ethical use of force are paramount.

This specification outlines a hypothetical tool designed for law enforcement or security purposes, where less-lethal options are needed for apprehension with minimal risk of serious injury. Remember, actual deployment and use would require rigorous testing and legal approval.
