A non-lethal, light weight, paint ball weapon is attached to standard rifles and fits underneath the barrel of the rifle on existing hard points provided for M-203 forty millimeter grenade launchers. A separate triggering system allows the shooter to fire the non-lethal weapon while aligning sights upon an intended target. The paint ball is stabilized by a first immiscible high density component filling approximately one-third of the ball interior volume. Paint or some other liquid is used as a lower density component filling the remaining volume. The high density component may be talc powder, lead shot, sand, glass beads, or a high density substantially immiscible liquid, paste or gel. The specially adapted, stabilized paint ball includes a colorant or dye and, optionally, a skin irritant or odor producing liquid. The ball is enclosed by an elastomeric, fluid impermeable skin scored or marked to ensure immediate bursting and kinetic energy dissipation upon impact. The ball may be filled with a any of a plurality of liquids, thereby providing a baton-marker round, a chemical incapacitating (e.g., oleoresin capsicum) round, a transdermal drug delivery round, a water-filled training round, or an infrared or ultraviolet tagging round. The paint ball ammunition may be color coded for easy identification of the contents and intended use. The weapon fires a selection of paint ball types and includes a plurality of magazines marked with external indicia of ammunition type, or the magazine tubes may include a window, allowing the paint ball condition and color coding to be seen.

1. A non-lethal weapon, for use with a rifle having a barrel, the non-lethal weapon comprising: a main body including a trigger; a pneumatic energy source in fluid communication with said main body; a barrel affixed to said main body and in fluid communication therewith; a magazine connected to said main body and including a plurality of receptacles each adapted to hold particular projectiles, wherein said magazine is manipulable by a user to select one of said receptacles and supply a corresponding projectile to said main body for firing by said non-lethal weapon; and a mounting member to attach the non-lethal weapon beneath the rifle barrel. 2. The non-lethal weapon of claim 1, wherein said magazine receptacles are in the form of a plurality of magazine tubes and said magazine includes said plurality of magazine tubes disposed in a radially spaced array and supported in a revolving structure; whereby a user may select one of said magazine tubes by rotating said revolving structure. 3. The non-lethal weapon of claim 2, wherein said magazine tubes are selectively detachable from said revolving structure. 4. The non-lethal weapon of claim 2 wherein said magazine tubes are each configured to store a respective linear array of said projectiles. 5. The non-lethal weapon of claim 4 wherein said projectiles are paintballs. 6. The non-lethal weapon of claim 1, wherein said magazine is selectively detachable from said main body. 7. The non-lethal weapon of claim 1, wherein said magazine includes a transparent wall section. 8. The non-lethal weapon of claim 1, wherein said magazine includes external indicia of projectile type. 9. The non-lethal weapon of claim 1, wherein said pneumatic energy source comprises a detachable compressed air reservoir. 10. The non-lethal weapon of claim 9, wherein said main body includes a compressed air coupling in fluid communication with said reservoir. 11. The non-lethal weapon of claim 1, wherein said pneumatic energy source comprises a reservoir containing nitrogen. 12. The non-lethal weapon of claim 1 wherein said magazine is configured to store said projectiles in a plurality of linear arrays. 13. The non-lethal weapon of claim 12 wherein said projectiles are paintballs.
