摘要:
The present invention provides an ammunition disabling system for selectively disabling ammunition that is operatively coupled to a selectively changeable material. In the operative state the material permits transmission of a percussive impact through the material for enabling firing of the ammunition; and in the deactivated state the material inhibits transmission of the percussion wave through the material for preventing firing of the ammunition. The ammunition disabling system includes an energy wave generator with an energy wave source that emits an energy wave at a frequency resonant a natural frequency of the material. When the ammunition with the material are exposed to the energy wave, the energy wave induces a response (physical and/or chemical) in the material that results in a mechanical change in the material from the operative state to the deactivated state by degrading the mechanical structure of the material.
摘要:
The present invention provides an ammunition disabler with a material capable of being selectively changed in response to an energy wave for preemptively disabling ammunition. In at least one embodiment, the ammunition disabler includes a material selectively structurally changeable from an operative state to a deactivated state upon exposure to an energy wave is provided, where the material is positioned at least partially between the firing pin and the priming compound when the ammunition is chambered within the firearm (with the priming compound positioned between the material and the propellant), and related systems, methods and uses. The material may be contained within the primer cup with the priming compound. The material may be positioned adjacent to the priming compound in direct or indirect contact or in close proximity. The material may be positioned externally from the primer cup.
