Abstract:
A method for stabilizing a weapon, e.g. a rifle or a handgun, barrel movements when aiming by attenuating the influence of, primarily, unintentional barrel movements on the barrel orientation. The method is especially characterized in the steps of - providing a hinge (3) between the barrel front part (1), which comprises the barrel (1), and the weapon rear part (2), which comprises the weapon butt end (2'), for mutual movability between said parts; - continuously detecting the barrel longitudinal direction movement in at least two planes; and - controlling at least one angle between the butt end and the barrel longitudinal direction orientation, respectively, by means of a control system (4h, 4v, 5h, 5v, 6h,6v) so that changes in the barrel orientation are counteracted. The invention also relates to a device and a fire arm.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a small arm, like pistols, particularly sport pistols with essential components, for example barrel (1), barrel shaft (2), barrel rail (10), breech (3), grip element (4), magazine (7), a total mass center of gravity (Mges) of the pistol is to be very close on or in a region (9) of a barrel axis (8).
Abstract:
Ce système d'atténuation des vibrations destiné à améliorer la précision d'une arme à feu est constitué de gorges (9) formant entre elles des chicanes (10), avec ou sans ailettes, avantageusement exécutées en matériaux différents de celui du canon (1), usinées dans la masse de celui-ci ou dans une pièce d'amortissement (3) lisse ou à gorges, rapportée sur celui-ci et éventuellement complétée par au moins une pièce complémentaire d'amortissement également rapportée sur le canon(1). L'invention concerne également une arme à feu ou un canon d'arme à feu comportant un ou plusieurs système(s) d'atténuation de ce type. Cette invention intéresse les fabricants d'armes légères et de canons d'artillerie, de chars, d'avions ou de marine.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus or apparatus system for vibration control, by harmonic optimization technology, of vibrations in the cantilever or barrel (7) portion of a device from which a projectile is fired or launched along the centerline of the cantilever. More particularly this invention relates to rifles (5), where the rifle barrel (7) is a cantilever portion, and methods and apparatus for increasing the accuracy of firing projectiles. The invention is principally directed to a method and apparatus including a mass device (20) affixed to a flexible cylinder extension (25) at the muzzle end (9), inertial mass devices (15), having combustion pressure reduction features, affixed intermediate the muzzle end (9) and the cartridge chamber (11), and a spring suspension system (65) between barrel (7) and rifle stock (12) affixed proximal to the cartridge chamber (11). This system decreases the angular dispersion of barrel vibrations at the muzzle resulting from the firing of projectiles through such barrels.
Abstract:
A firearm stock having a bipod on the end of the fore-stock with legs that store in channels formed inside the fore-stock and which permits the canting movement of the deployed bipod with respect to the stock. The bipod legs are pulled from their stored positions to extended positions and then pivoted to their splayed and deployed positions perpendicular to the axis of the stock. The stock also pivotally and optionally carries a monopod in the underside of the butt stock for pivoting rearward to its deployed position, urged by a spring into both the deployed and stored positions. The bipod legs may telescope and are exchangeable with different types of legs; the monopod is extendable and may be stored in its extended position against the underside of the butt stock.
Abstract:
An integrated firearm or air gun sighting scope that measures and automatically compensates for human unsteadiness (Jitter and Trigger Jerk), angle of shot, distance of shot, and bullet ballistics. The scope uses a combination of shot simulation, attitude tracking and synchronized fire control to achieve excellent accuracy without major modifications to the firearm or air gun.
Abstract:
Mounting ammunition holders for side loading machine guns and weapons that downwardly eject spent cartridges, include adjustable hinges attached side plates that both moves the center of gravity of the left side supported ammunition holder to move in a right direction underneath the machine gun until the ammunition holder is balanced relative to the machine gun. The side plate further deflects the spent cartridges from being directly ejected downward from the machine gun and instead deflect the spent cartridges to one side of the machine gun away from both the machine gun and an operator of the gun. The ammunition containers can be ammunition belt boxes and ammunition pouch bags. Frames can allow for bags to be inserted therein and be pre-shaped to form a deflection surface by a built on side wall which functions as a deflection plate to deflect spent cartridges and shells sideways away from the gun.
Abstract:
An apparatus or apparatus system (1) for vibration control, by harmonic optimization technology, of vibrations in the cantilever or barrel portion (7) of a device (5) from which a projectile is fired or launched along the centerline of the cantilever (7). More particularly this invention relates to rifles, where the rifle barrel (5) is a cantilever portion, and methods and apparatus for increasing the accuracy of firing projectiles. The invention is principally directed to a method and apparatus including a mass device (20) affixed to a flexible cylinder extension (25) at the muzzle end (9), inertial mass devices (40), having combustion pressure reduction features, affixed intermediate the muzzle end (9) and the cartridge chamber (11), and a spring suspension system (65) between barrel (7) and the rifle stock (12) affixed proximal to the cartridge chamber (11). This system decreases the angular dispersion of barrel vibrations at the muzzle resulting from the firing of projectiles through such barrels.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to firearms, especially to guns, and more particularly to a system for attenuating recoil, reducing muzzle climb and increasing accuracy. The invention provides a recoil attenuating mechanism that is an improvement on the well-known and widely used Browning tilting barrel system which is commonly used in semi-automatic pistols. The recoil attenuation is achieved by redirecting and manipulating the forces of the recoil of the slide of the pistol to a different axis than what is the norm on a regular browning action, and thus reducing muzzle climb substantially in addition to attenuating recoil, and therefore improving accuracy, recovery time, and controllability. In particular the recoiling mass (42) is located below the axis (43) of the center of the mass (41) of the pistol.
Abstract:
A weapon stabilizing device for stabilizing a weapon during use. The device includes a spool member configured to release and retract an anchor line with rotation of the spool member. A lock member prevents rotation of the spool member in a locked position and allows rotation of the spool member in a released position. Actuation of an activation member switches the lock member from a default position to an activated position. The default position may be the locked position or the released position. When the default position is the locked position, the activated position is the released position. When the activated position is the released position, the activated position is the locked position. A spool spring may provide continuous positive rotation of the spool spring in the released position. The weapon stabilizing device may be connected to or within a base of a weapon.
