Magnetic retention secures the firearm in place in the mount. Modern, magazine fed handguns can be loaded and unloaded simply by moving the slide. Cycling the slide causes it to extract a round from the chamber (if a round is present) when the slide traverses rearward relative to the receiver. A new round is loaded from the magazine when the slide traverses forward relative to the receiver (if a loaded magazine is inserted). | 2022-09-22 |
| 20220299287 | DEFLECTING DEVICE - The invention relates to a deflecting device for deflecting belt links of different ammunition, such as those used on vehicles for example. The deflecting device comprises at least one deflecting surface which is suitable for deflecting the belt links. The deflecting surface is arranged on an underlying surface which is designed to be soft and flexible. The deflecting device additionally comprises at least one securing element, and the deflecting device can thus be secured to a vehicle or a tower of a vehicle. | 2022-09-22 |
| 20220299288 | FIREARM SIMULATION AND TRAINING SYSTEM AND METHOD - Disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods for simulation of firearm discharge and training of armed forces and/or law enforcement personnel. A motion tracking system tracks motion of one or more users. In embodiments, the users wear one or more sensors on their bodies to allow tracking by the motion tracking system. A scenario management system utilizes position, orientation, and motion information provided by the motion tracking system to evaluate user performance during a scenario. A weapon simulator includes sensors that indicate position of the weapon and/or orientation of the weapon. The weapon simulator may further provide trigger activation indications to the scenario management system. In embodiments, the scenario management system generates, plays, reviews, and/or evaluates simulations. The evaluation can include scoring based on reaction times, posture, body position, body orientation, and/or other attributes. | 2022-09-22 |
| 20220299289 | Cargo Strap Gun Assembly - A cargo strap gun assembly includes a cylinder that has an open end and a closed end. The cylinder is substantially hollow and the open end can receive a cargo strap. A plunger is slidably positioned in the cylinder and the plunger is compressible into a loaded position. The plunger is biased into a fired position to launch the cargo strap outwardly from the cylinder thereby facilitating the cargo strap to be launched over a load. A cocking mechanism is slidably integrated into the cylinder to urge the plunger into the loaded position. A trigger is movably integrated into the cylinder to facilitate the plunger to be biased into the fired position. | 2022-09-22 |
| 20220299290 | Speargun - A speargun having a stock, a muzzle at a distal end thereof; and a pair of matching elastic tackles assemblies either side of the stock for tensioning a wishbone from the muzzle to a spear. Optionally, the speargun may have a second elastic tackle assembly disposed on the bottom of the stock. According to another approach, a speargun component kit may be provided to a user to attach to their own stock having a muzzle; a pair of tensionable pulley tackles having a line to attach a spear, to attach to the muzzle, and to attach to at least one pair of elastic bands at a second end; an adjustable anchor mount of the elastic bands to the stock, and a spear release mechanism. | 2022-09-22 |
| 20220299291 | FAST EXPANSION STRUCTURE OF TOY GUN BUTTSTOCK - A fast expansion structure of a toy gun buttstock is provided. The structure includes a main body, a plurality of slide bars, a plurality of coupling portions, a plurality of fixing members, a butt piece, a plurality of rotating and retaining members, a plurality of first engaging surfaces, a plurality of second engaging surfaces, a limiting member, and a first elastic member. With the above structure, a user may pull the butt piece to cause the fixing members that are provided on the slide bars to push the rotating and retaining members for rotation so as to cause the first elastic member to push the limiting member to change the limiting member from an initial condition of contacting and pushing the first engaging surfaces to a condition of contacting and pushing the second engaging surfaces. | 2022-09-22 |
| 20220299292 | COMPRESSED GAS GUN - A compressed gas gun having a bolt and piston movable by the application of compressed gas, and a removable inline cylinder, are provided. | 2022-09-22 |
