Ammunition for a conductive energy weapon. A receptacle includes a cavity accessible through each of a first opening in a first face of the receptacle, a second opening in the first face of the receptacle, a third opening in a second face of the receptacle and a fourth opening in a third face of the receptacle. A propellant unit is included within the cavity proximate the second opening and a projectile is included within the cavity proximate the second opening. A housing is coupled to at least the second face and the third face of the receptacle and is further configured to couple to the conductive energy weapon. The propellant unit releases a propellant into the cavity, in a direction substantially opposite the projectile's direction of flight, in response to a trigger pull of the conductive energy weapon, and the cavity directs the propellant in the projectile's direction of flight.

1. Ammunition for a conductive energy weapon, comprising: a receptacle having a cavity therein, the cavity accessible through a first opening in a first face of the receptacle and a second opening in the first face of the receptacle, wherein the first opening is not centered in the first face and the second opening is also not centered in the first face;a propellant unit comprised within the cavity;a projectile comprised within the cavity, and;a housing coupled to the receptacle and configured to couple to a conductive energy weapon;wherein the first opening is configured to receive the propellant unit;wherein the propellant unit is configured to release a propellant into the cavity, in a direction substantially opposite a direction of flight of the projectile, in response to a trigger pull of a conductive energy weapon, and;wherein the cavity is configured to direct the released propellant in the direction of flight of the projectile. 2. The ammunition of claim 1, wherein the propellant comprises a gas, and wherein the projectile comprises a diameter larger than a diameter of the propellant unit, both diameters taken substantially parallel with the first face when the projectile and propellant unit are residing within the cavity. 3. The ammunition of claim 1, wherein the projectile is a non-electrical projectile that is not configured to apply an electrical current from the conductive energy weapon to a target. 4. The ammunition of claim 1, wherein the cavity is further accessible through a third opening on a second face of the receptacle, the second face substantially perpendicular to the first face. 5. The ammunition of claim 1, wherein the propellant unit comprises a compressed fluid container, and wherein the ammunition further comprises a pair of electrical conductors, the electrical conductors coupled to outer faces of the receptacle, and an explosive positioned proximate a first end of the compressed fluid container and a mechanical pierce proximate a second end of the compressed fluid container, and wherein the mechanical pierce is configured to pierce the compressed fluid container in response to motion of the compressed fluid container caused by an explosion of the explosive resulting from a voltage being applied across the pair of electrical conductors. 6. The ammunition of claim 1, wherein the ammunition further comprises a pair of electrical conductors, the electrical conductors coupled to opposing faces of the receptacle. 7. The ammunition of claim 1, further comprising two electrical conductors on opposing, outer sides of the receptacle, wherein the two electrical conductors are not configured to move relative to the receptacle during use of the ammunition. 8. The ammunition of claim 1, further comprising an openable member coupled to the housing and substantially covering the first opening and the second opening, the openable member configured to expose the first opening and the second opening in response to one of an explosion of an explosive proximate the first opening and an acceleration of the projectile. 9. Ammunition for a conductive energy weapon, comprising: a receptacle having a cavity therein, the cavity accessible through a first opening in a first face of the receptacle and a second opening in the first face of the receptacle;a propellant unit comprised within the cavity;a projectile comprised within the cavity, and;a housing coupled to the receptacle and configured to couple to a conductive energy weapon;wherein the first opening is configured to receive the propellant unit;wherein the first opening is not centered in the first face and does not overlap with a center of the first face;wherein the second opening is also not centered in the first face;wherein the propellant unit is configured to release a propellant into the cavity, in a direction substantially opposite a direction of flight of the projectile, in response to a trigger pull of a conductive energy weapon, and;wherein the cavity is configured to direct the released propellant in the direction of flight of the projectile. 10. The ammunition of claim 9, wherein the propellant comprises a gas, and wherein the projectile comprises a diameter larger than a diameter of the propellant unit, both diameters taken substantially parallel with the first face when the projectile and propellant unit are residing within the cavity. 11. The ammunition of claim 9, wherein the projectile is a non-electrical projectile that is not configured to apply an electrical current from the conductive energy weapon to a target. 12. The ammunition of claim 9, wherein the cavity is further accessible through a third opening on a second face of the receptacle, the second face substantially perpendicular to the first face. 13. The ammunition of claim 9, wherein the propellant unit comprises a compressed fluid container, and wherein the ammunition further comprises a pair of electrical conductors, the electrical conductors coupled to outer faces of the receptacle, and an explosive positioned proximate a first end of the compressed fluid container and a mechanical pierce proximate a second end of the compressed fluid container, and wherein the mechanical pierce is configured to pierce the compressed fluid container in response to motion of the compressed fluid container caused by an explosion of the explosive resulting from a voltage being applied across the pair of electrical conductors. 14. The ammunition of claim 9, wherein the ammunition further comprises a pair of electrical conductors, the electrical conductors coupled to opposing faces of the receptacle. 15. The ammunition of claim 9, further comprising two electrical conductors on opposing, outer sides of the receptacle, wherein the two electrical conductors are not configured to move relative to the receptacle during use of the ammunition. 16. The ammunition of claim 9, further comprising an openable member coupled to the housing and substantially covering the first opening and the second opening, the openable member configured to expose the first opening and the second opening in response to one of an explosion of an explosive proximate the first opening and an acceleration of the projectile.
