[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A projectile for projectile weapons, having a longitudinal firing axis, for non-lethal impact on a target, comprising:at least one flexible elastic extensible infrangible envelope defining a longitudinal axis aligned with the firing axis, the envelope having a thickness less than 0.5 millimeters and the envelope being filled with only solid material divided into grains, said grain, having a grain size smaller than 100 microns, wherein upon impact on the target, the envelope deforms radially outwardly relative to the firing axis, by relative displacement of the grains within the envelope, thereby spreading the projectile over an impact area to maximize impact and minimize trauma.
