Abstract:
An apparatus for discharging a weapon includes a combination trigger that includes both a manual trigger and a remote trigger. The weapon may be discharged using either the manual trigger or remote trigger. The apparatus may also include a remote and/or manual safety to prevent the weapon from being discharged.
Abstract:
The invention provides remote trigger release for firearms without requiring assembly to said firearms and providing immediate disengagement when the single user discontinues a mechanically required interaction. Trigger release is achieved by means of a handheld pneumatic pump that pressurizes an expandable bladder within a conduit-connected handheld hinged apparatus thus providing two opening points of opposite force that can be applied to the trigger and the inside of trigger guard when said bladder is pressurized. Automatic disengagement of the firearm is achieved by means of a semi-rigid section of fluid conduit oriented such that it can simultaneously serve as a spring to remove said apparatus from the vicinity of said trigger anytime said user ceases interaction. Assertive and continuous user interaction is required by adding a branch off of the pump outlet which must be plugged by the user's thumb in order to build or maintain pressure within the bladder.
Abstract:
An adjustable sighting and shooting firearm mounting vise receives a firearm to assist shooters with sighting and discharging the firearm. The firearm mounting vise includes a first base support, a second base support, a pair of positional-adjustment tracks, a forend support, a stock support, a trigger actuator, a trigger switch, a controller housing, a wireless receiver, and a microcontroller. The first base support and the second base support the pair of positional-adjustment tracks. The pair of positional-adjustment tracks allows the forend support, the stock support, and the trigger actuator to translate along each positional-adjustment track to accommodate a plurality of firearms to be secured by the firearm mounting vise. The controller housing protects electrical components including the microcontroller and the wireless receiver. The microcontroller receives control signals through the wireless receiver or directly from the trigger switch to activate the trigger actuator and discharging the firearm.
Abstract:
A remote controlled projectile sighting and launching system (RCPSLS) is disclosed. In some embodiments, such a system can be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and can automatically facilitate moving targets, unmanned operation of a projectile launching device and automatic friendly-fire over-ride. In some embodiments, such a system can include network-linked components such as a plurality of auto-adjusting aiming units (AAAU), gimbaled robotic apparatuses (GRA), trigger activation devices (TAD), and transport vehicles (TRV). In some implementations, a plurality of shooters and/or command centers that are able to view and operate a plurality of AAAUs, TADs, GRAs, and TRVs from a remote location(s). The system can be configured to be capable of discerning friendly confirmed target coordinates (CTC) from enemy CTC and is able to launch a plurality of preselected projectiles (PP) from a plurality of preselected projectile launching devices (PPLD).
Abstract:
A bear repellant device including a pouch containing a bear spray canister mounted to a backpack. The pouch having an opening facing outwardly and rearwardly of the backpack. The bear spray canister contains bear spray and includes a nozzle for projecting bear spray outwardly in a concentrated direction and a trigger which when depressed allows the bear spray to be released through the nozzle. The canister is mounted in a holder mounted inside the pouch. The holder includes an opening aligned with the nozzle of the canister and the opening of the pouch. A trigger cam having a first and second end is rotatably mounted in the holder on an axle intermediate the ends. A cable is connected to the trigger cam for rotating the first end upwardly when pulled. The second end is positioned to depress the trigger of the canister when the first end is rotated upwardly.
Abstract:
A device for cocking a weapon (11) having an axially movable actuating element (2) that can be coupled to a cocking element (11.1) on the weapon for the purpose of cocking the weapon (11) may include a control device (3) that couples the actuating element (2) to a safety locking element (11.2) on the weapon, whereby the weapon (11) is simultaneously made safe and is armed by actuation of the actuating element.
Abstract:
There is proposed a system for managing fire of snipers, including a central station (CS) and a plurality of N individual kits (IK), each operated by one sniper. Preferably, the IK includes: --a rifle, --an optical sight (OS) mounted on the rifle with a mechanism for correction of the OS, --equipment including devices activating the rifle's firing pin; --a laser target designator having an axis coinciding with the OS axis, satellite navigation receiver (SNR), video-camera, symbol generator, adding device summarizing output signals, readiness sensor installed on the rifle's trigger, command decoder; zoom-lens actuator; electronic switches controlling the zoom-lens actuator, laser rangefinder; commutator receiving output signals from the laser rangefinder and SNR, and radio-modem module (IK-RM) provided with a two-way communication with the CS furnished with certain devices specified therein. The system enhances the synchronousness and target hit accuracy, and is capable of counteraction to acoustic counter-sniper systems.
Abstract:
This is directed to systems, processes, machines, and other means that allow a pan/tilt gun mount to be radio controlled by a plurality of frequencies. The invention can rapidly rotate and adjust elevation to aim a gun mount as directed by a user.
Abstract:
A remote weapon system (10) includes: a fire control unit (12); and a mechanical support (14) to which a weapon (18) capable of firing airburst ammunition is mountable, the mechanical support being adapted to move the weapon in azimuth and elevation directions. The fire control unit is adapted to receive input parameters including at least one area parameter related to a geographical area to be covered by the airburst ammunition from the weapon. Further, the fire control unit is configured to automatically calculate a number of shots of the weapon as well as azimuth and elevation directions of the mechanical support for each shot based on the input parameters such that substantially the entire geographical area is covered by the airburst ammunition when the weapon is fired.
Abstract:
A safety latch assembly locks a firing tray mechanism and prevents it from firing a primer prematurely if a breech is not safely closed. The safety latch assembly includes a latch body, a latch hook for locking a firing mechanism tray, and a shaft that connects the latch body to a housing. A torsion spring is secured to the shaft, to bias a first pin towards the firing mechanism tray. A second pin couples a circular rack to the firing mechanism tray.
