Abstract:
Holders usable to retain a clip, magazine, or other container for ammunition can include a body configured for attachment to a surface and an insertable member extending from the body, the insertable member being adapted for insertion into the interior of a container for ammunition. The insertable member can bias the container for ammunition against a portion of the body to create friction between the container and the body and prevent relative movement between the two objects. Alternatively or additionally, contact between the insertable member and the interior of the container, can create friction for preventing relative movement between the container for ammunition and the holder. The insertable element can be compressible to enable passage through an external opening in the container to facilitate removal or insertion.
Abstract:
An assembly for supporting gun magazines includes a plurality of pouches each adapted to receive and hold at least one gun magazine therein. At least one first pivot assembly portion and at least one second pivot assembly portion are mounted on each of the plurality of pouches. A first pivot assembly portion on one pouch is pivotally connectable to a second pivot assembly portion on an adjacent pouch.
Abstract:
A plurality of ammunition links form a belt of ammunition by interlocking with a plurality of tapered rounds having average casing diameters between about 0.400 inches and about 0.425 inches. A link includes at least a first resilient member and a second resilient member that extend in substantially opposing directions. A link engages with and provides a compressive force to a first round with the first resilient member and, optionally, a third resilient member. The link engages a second round and applies less or substantially no compressive force with the second resilient member.
Abstract:
Holders for retaining a container for ammunition can include a first portion configured for attachment to a surface, a second portion extending from the first portion, and an insertable member extending from the second portion. The insertable member can be adapted for insertion into the interior of a container for ammunition. To prevent relative movement between the container for ammunition and the first portion, friction can be created between the container and the holder through contact between the insertable member and the container or contact between the body of the holder and the container.
Abstract:
An air-powered toy gun is described. The toy gun includes a main housing with a barrel extending therefrom. The main housing is formed to accept a projectile cartridge and align a bullet chamber of the cartridge with the barrel. An air cylinder is attached with the main housing, with a two-way plunger positioned within the air cylinder. A forestock is slidably attached with the housing and attached with the two-way plunger to allow the two-way plunger to be forced fore and aft within the air cylinder. Conduits and valves are attached with the air cylinder to fluidly connect the air cylinder with the bullet chamber of the cartridge. Further, an indexing mechanism is attached with the main housing. The indexing mechanism is operably connected with the forsestock such that upon each fore and aft motion of the forestock, the indexing mechanism draws a cartridge through the main housing.
Abstract:
A rapid deployment ammunition carrier has a shoulder mounted ammunition belt having a plurality of ammunition pouches and a plurality of body mounting straps. An ammunition belt carrying case is shaped to hold the ammunition belt therein with the body mounting straps positioned for rapid deployment from the carrying case. The carrying case is mounted to a vehicle seat for rapid deployment of the ammunition belt by an occupant of the vehicle.
Abstract:
A cartridge loop for an ammunition belt having a coupling interface with an opening and a pair of substantially parallel lines side walls having a compliant tab formed therein to deflect easily without deforming the loop when a coupling is engaged in the interface is provided. The compliant tab is formed by a U-shaped cut-out from the loop across the side walls to the front face of the coupling interface. The walls of the interface are separated by a distance and the coupling has first and second ends connected by a link connecting the first and second ends, the first end having a locking head with four sides having a diagonal that forms an interference fit with the compliant tabs formed in the side walls.
