The toy gun having a body, at least one black light responsive projectile, a cartridge for supplying the projectiles to the body, at least one black light source within the body for exposing the projectile to black light, a triggering mechanism for engaging the exposed projectile and a launching mechanism for expelling the exposed projectile from the toy gun, such that the projectiles expelled from the toy gun has a glowing effect as if internally lit.
Abstract:
A GPS arrow system to track a moving object. The GPS arrow system to track a moving object generally includes an arrowhead comprising a blade and an opening in the blade, a GPS tracking unit comprising a GPS attachment opening, and an attaching ring for attaching the GPS tracking unit to the arrowhead. The attaching ring comprises a gap that is expandable so that an end of the attaching ring can be passed through the opening in the arrowhead and the GPS attachment opening, for connecting the GPS tracking unit to the arrowhead. The arrowhead may be attached to the shaft of an arrow. The GPS tracking unit can transmit position signals that can be received by a handheld unit being carried by a user, such as a hunter, and used to track a moving object.
Abstract:
A method of mass-producing one-way luminescent projectiles includes providing projectiles each including a body having a nose and a trailing end including a perimeter edge and a rear surface, and that is symmetrical about an axis that extends centrally through the body from the nose to the rear surface, securing the projectiles in a nose down, trailing end up orientation leaving the rear surfaces exposed, depositing a quantity of a hardenable photoluminescent material centrally on each rear surface, the quantities being identical and hardening over a period of time, and maintaining the projectiles in the nose down, trailing end up orientation during the period of time such that each quantity of photoluminescent material forms an identical solid photoluminescent body adhered to the respective rear surface, that is concentric with, and extends outwardly no further than, the perimeter edge, and radially symmetrical relative to the axis.
Abstract:
A self-glowing solid material comprises a man-made metal mixture containing at least one rare earth metal and an oxide of iron. The material is inducible by flame initiation to self-glow with yellow-to-red colors (577-to-700 nanometer wavelengths). A stealth tracer ammunition comprises a projectile body having a tip and a base, and a solid pellet disposed in the base. The pellet may be made from the above-mentioned self-glowing solid material or another suitable material. The pellet becomes incandescent as a result of being heated when the ammunition is fired. The incandescent pellet emits a glow observable only from behind when the ammunition travels downrange after being fired.
Abstract:
Systems, devices, and methods including a bullet (114,1102); a retroreflector array (1104) adhered to a base of the bullet (410, 610), the retroreflector array (1104) having prism facets with a periodicity between 0.2 mm - 2.0 mm; and a cover (1112) disposed over the retroreflector array and hermetically sealed at the base (1106) of the bullet (1102); where the cover (1112) is disposed over the retroreflector array (1104) in a first position prior to firing, and where the cover is released from the base of the bullet in a second position after firing.

Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein aus einer Rohrwaffe verschießbares Geschoss (1; 1') mit einem Geschossboden (4; 4') und einem sich an den Geschossboden (4; 4') vorderseitig abstützenden Penetrator (5; 5'), der ein in einen geschlossenen Raum (3) einzubringendes Wirkmittel (8) aufnimmt. Um beim Einbringen des Wirkmittels (8) in den geschlossenen Raum (3) letale Verletzungen der in dem Raum (3) befindlichen Personen zu vermeiden, schlägt die Erfindung vor, das Geschoss (1; 1') derart aufzubauen, dass der Penetrator (5; 5') die Wand (2) des entsprechenden Raumes (3) nur teilweise durchdringt, so dass die Wirkmittel (8) über das in den Raum (3) ragende Teil des Penetrators (5; 5') in diesen gelangen können.
Abstract:
An ordnance (10,110) usable against a living body, the ordnance having a tracking module (12,113) with a transmitter that can use at least a portion of the body as an antenna. In preferred embodiments, the tracking module is releasably coupled to a carrier (11), and a pointed tip (13) is disposed on at least one of the tracking module and the carrier. The module preferably includes a circuit that provides location information to the transmitter, and optionally provides additional information, including at least one of motion, compass, pressure, oxygen, and heart beat information. Transmission can occur at any suitable interval, including for example, at least three times during a ten minute period. The transmitter can optionally transmit a no heart beat signal, failure signal, and/or low battery signal. Preferred systems include a receiver that can send an interrogation signal, and the ordnance can include an interrogation receiving circuit for receiving interrogation signals.
Abstract:
The invention relates to practice ammunition comprising a head which bursts when the projectile strikes a target and contains a marking agent which optically indicates the point of impact after the head has burst. The marking agent consists of several chemical components (7, 8, 11, 12) which are each contained in separately breakable compartments (4, 5, 10, 12). When said compartments (4, 5, 10, 12) break open the components combine and undergo a chemical reaction which creates an optical mark.
Abstract:
The proposed fixed ammunition comprises a projectile (11) and a cartridge case (10) which holds it. A cartridge (12) inside the cartridge case (10) encloses a high-pressure chamber (21) containing a propellant charge (14). The cartridge (12) is surrounded by a low-pressure chamber (10a) defined by the inner walls of the caratridge case (10) and part of the base of the projectile (11). On the rear-end side of the projectile (11), a tracer charge (11b) is contained in a tube (27) which protrudes through the upper wall of the cartridge (12) into the high-pressure chamber (21). Projectile and cartridge case are joined via a breaking line (12d). Pressure to expel the projectile (11) from the cartridge case is provided by the pressure in both the high-pressure chamber (21) and the low-pressure chamber (10a). When the projectile is expelled, extraction of the tracer charge from the high-pressure chamber (21) increases the volume of the latter. These measures prevent steep pressure peaks in the pressure curve when the projectile is expelled. At the same time, virtually the entire projectile volume is available for an effective charge.
