摘要： A convertible sidearm is provided which can convert easily between a firearm and a knife. The convertible sidearm includes a tubular body frame. A back plate member assembly is removably affixed to the tubular body at one end. The back plate assembly includes a plate member and a substantially tubular support member emanating outwardly from a planar surface of the plate member. A standard bolt or bolt carrier assembly from a primary firearm, having a bolt and a firing pin connected thereto, is inserted into the tubular support member of the back plate member assembly. A spring-loaded striker is positioned proximal to a firing pin within the bolt carrier assembly. A trigger communicates with the spring-loaded striker to release the striker toward the firing pin to fire the weapon. The firearm is easily converted to a knife by removing the barrel of the firearm and replacing it with a blade assembly and removing the bolt carrier assembly from the back plate member assembly and re-installing the back plate member within the tubular body member. Alternatively, the convertible sidearm may employ a permanent firing mechanism instead of a removable bolt or bolt carrier.

摘要翻译： 提供可转换的侧臂，可以在枪支和刀之间轻松转换。 可转换侧臂包括管状主体框架。 背板构件组件在一端可拆卸地固定到管状体。 背板组件包括板构件和从板构件的平坦表面向外发出的基本上管状的支撑构件。 来自主火器的标准螺栓或螺栓承载组件被插入到后板构件组件的管状支撑构件中，其具有连接到其上的螺栓和击发销。 弹簧加载的撞针位于螺栓承载组件内的击发销的近侧。 触发器与弹簧撞击器通信，以将撞针释放到射击销以对武器进行射击。 通过移除枪支的枪管并将其替换为刀片组件并将螺栓支架组件从后板构件组件移除并将后板构件重新安装在管状本体构件内，从而将枪械容易地转换成刀。 或者，可转换侧臂可以采用永久性的发射机构而不是可拆卸的螺栓或螺栓承载件。
