Benefits of technology

[0011]It is an object of the present invention to speed up the process of cooling the barrels of firearms. By bringing the temperature of the barrel to ambient air temperature, more consistency as well as predictability enables a shooter to become more accurate. By speeding up this process a shooter can make more

Problems solved by technology

Nowadays, the combination of state of the art technology combined with a skilled shooter can produce seemingly impossible accuracy of unguided projectile bullets.
These skilled shooters employ extremely fastidious shooting methods such as hand loading and preparing their own projectiles.
One of the most difficult obstacles in ensuring pinpoint accuracy in shooting a firearm is that the heat generated by the explosion of the gun powder

Example

[0029]According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a unique system, method, and apparatus are used to cool the barrel of a rifle. The present invention is described in enabling detail below.

[0030]For the purposes of the present invention the term “cold-shot” shall refer to the first shot a shooter takes whether in a practice session, a competitive event, or in the field. The temperature of the barrel of a rifle just before a cold shot is taken, at that moment in time, provides the baseline for which consistency is predicated. By recording this temperature, one will have a good idea as to the relative thermal distortion or lack thereof of the firearm after firing a given number of shots.

[0031]For the purposes of the present invention the term “firearm” shall include rifles, guns, shotguns, pistols, “sharp-shooting” rifles, etc. Although the present invention is primarily aimed at problems which are mainly associated with rifles, it is conceivable that the present inv...

Abstract

A system for cooling the barrel of a firearm thereby maintaining a more consistent barrel temperature and reducing thermal distortion of the barrel.
The system includes a fan apparatus for injecting or removing air or other gases to or from the barrel of a firearm. The fan apparatus comprises a first orifice and a second orifice. The first orifice interfaces with the firearm by injecting or removing air or other gases to or from the barrel of the firearm

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates with the firearms industry and more specifically relates to means and methods for cooling the barrels of firearms.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]The endeavor of accurising firearms such as rifles dates back to over one hundred years ago. For instance, early on, the barrels of rifles were longitudinally fluted with grooves to impart a gyroscopic spin to bullets. In addition, elliptical bullets took the place of spherical projectiles as manufacturers discovered the improved aerodynamics and ballistics properties of the sharpened shapes.[0003]And today, the confluence of all the prior art along with the studies of ballistics have revolutionized firearms technology. Nowadays, the combination of state of the art technology combined with a skilled shooter can produce seemingly impossible accuracy of unguided projectile bullets. A skilled shooter with suitable technology can hit a target over a mile away. Many of these shooters ...
