Problems solved by technology

The major difficulty hindering the rapid fire of such weapons on a designated downrange target is the reloading cycle.
The pauses or “downtime” occurring during the reloading cycle not only hinders the effective application of fire on a given target but also exposes the weapon operator to increased danger since he cannot protect himself during those pauses.
If the weapon operator is engaged in competitive target shooting, the extra steps and the time expended for the reloading operations, may put the weapon operator at a competitive

Embodiment Construction

[0042]The present invention is directed to modifications of various ammunition magazines that are used in weapons such as the M4, and its many variations, dating from the AR15 / M16 to the present embodiments. Submitted as prior art of this application is the instruction manual for the Bushmaster family of weapons. For illustrative purposes, parts of the Bushmaster manual dated 2005 have been incorporated with the drawings of the present invention, namely FIGS. 1-7A, as background for the application to better describe the present invention to such firearms.

[0043]The present invention is directed to an interactive system between a weapon and ammunition magazine modified from the prior art. While the modifications to the magazine depicted in the drawings have been made to specifically fit the M4 family of weapons, other magazine-fed weapons can also be adapted by incorporating the same modifications to the ammunition magazine in accordance with the present invention. In particular, the...

Abstract

The present invention includes modifications to a standard magazine and magazine follower to effect automatic ejection of an ammunition magazine from a weapon, once the last round has left the magazine.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention is generally related to ammunition magazines for automatic or semi-automatic weapons. In particular, the present invention is directed to a modification in an ammunition magazine to facilitate automatic ejection.BACKGROUND ART[0002]The purpose of modern automatic weapons, whether used in semi-automatic, or full automatic modes, is to provide fast, accurate placement of rounds downrange at a desired target. Speed and precision are the objectives when using such arms as the M4 (described in the cited operations manual) in one of its many variations and embodiments. A number of these embodiments are listed in the subject cited operations manual. However, there are many types of magazine-fed weapons with similar characteristics, and the discussion of conventional art is not limited to the M4 family.[0003]The major difficulty hindering the rapid fire of such weapons on a designated downrange target is the reloading cycle. The pauses or “downt...
