Abstract
A cartridge for coupling to a conducted electrical weapon to launch electrodes toward a target to provide a current through the target to impede locomotion of the target. The cartridge includes a cover that covers a forward portion of the cartridge. The cover may be over molded on the forward portion of the cartridge. The cover includes a frangible portion. The frangible portion may surround the perimeter of a door or be positioned between flaps. The frangible portion may be broken to separate the door from the cover or to disengage the flaps so they can move. The electrode may launch through a door opening or between the flaps to travel toward the target.
