A system and method for recovery of undamaged frangible aerial targets at shooting ranges includes a net positioned horizontally above ground level to cover a target fall zone. The net has mesh openings sized to retain undamaged frangible aerial targets while allowing damaged targets to pass through. The net forms a closed loop around parallel elongated front and rear rollers supported above ground by a plurality of fixed caster assemblies. A motor operatively coupled to at least one roller drives the net in a conveyor-like motion. Undamaged targets landing on the net are transported by the net to a collection area positioned adjacent to the front roller. The system may include friction strips on the rollers to enhance traction and a protective barrier shielding the collection area from stray shotgun pellets, thereby enabling recovery and reuse of targets that would otherwise break upon ground impact.

Steel flare / signal pistol - Figure 1 - 1. as a breech-loading pistol (1) 1. with rooster (2) 2. with a tilting barrel (3) such as this one from Heckler & Koch with a bore of 30-40 mm, a length of 100 to 150 mm, the pivot / tilt axis (6) and the trigger guard (7). The tilting barrel - Figure 2 - Enables quick cartridge changes. 2. These contain a cartridge (4) based on a standard shotgun cartridge - Figure 3 - with a propellant charge (8) which is capable of pressing a [missing information] in front of the propellant charge polyester mesh or other rubber-like material (5) - Figure 4 - The net is hurled to a distance of 2 to 10 meters, the usual proximity between the individuals involved. Due to air resistance, the net expands to a width of approximately 1.5 meters, restricting the "attacker's" movement so severely that the user of the weapon can easily overpower them without endangering themselves and prevent any attack. The heat from the ignited propellant causes the polyester net to melt slightly, becoming sticky and adhering to the person hit. This prevents them from freeing themselves quickly enough to avoid being restrained by police officers or even launching an actual attack.

Device for influencing the dispersion behavior of a shotgun, with an adjustable choke arranged in the area of ​​the muzzle, which provides a barrel constriction actuated by a screw sleeve, characterized in that the screw sleeve is self-locking and has at least one driver which engages in a cam slot of a sliding element which radially completely encloses the screw sleeve, is movable coaxially to the barrel and can be operated outside the muzzle area.

A device / system for firing a firearm round by igniting a specialized propellant in a specialized shell / casing / cartridge (hereinafter cartridge) with laser optics. The preferred embodiment and the system disclosed herein is intended for retrofitted use in a bolt action rifle, however, the principle may be applied to embodiments for pistols, shotguns and military munitions with minor changes to the laser's power, the focal lens for the cartridge and the laser ignitable propellant. The munitions cartridge design, its focal lens / window and column of charge constitute a critical element of this laser ignition device.

A stackable ammunition tray may include a body member having a threaded bore and a plurality of ammunition cavities extending downwardly from an upper surface of the body member, and a removable handle having an outer surface including male threads, the male threads being threadably engageable with the threaded bore. The ammunition cavities may be filled with rounds of ammunition, such as handgun or rifle bullets, or shotgun shells, for example. The stackable ammunition tray is lowered into a container, which may be sized and shaped to snugly receive and house the tray. Once the tray is placed inside the container, the handle may be threadably disengaged from the tray, and then attached to another tray, which is then lowered down on top of the first tray already in the container. This may be repeated for successive trays depending on the size and shape of the trays and the container.

This invention relates to plated bismuth shot for shotgun shells and methods of making.

The stalking harness is designed for the back-friendly transport of any long gun (repeating and self-loading rifles, but also shotguns) on the back for hunting, characterized by the fact that it pulls the weight of the rifle to the left and upwards through the hooked rope and thereby distributes the total weight almost evenly across both shoulders.

A semiautomatic shotgun comprising a receiver, a barrel, a forward gas block assembly attached to the barrel, a slider assembly rearward of the gas block assembly extending into the receiver. Upon firing a shotshell the explosive gases in the barrel are diverted through two ports into the gas block assembly, specifically into a pair of lateral pressure relief valves positioned on both sides of the barrel. The pressure relief valves further having a gas pathway from the barrel provided by clusters of holes less than a specific size and on-center with the barrel axis. A piston is forced rearwardly and engages a slider of the slider assembly that is linked to a breech block in the receiver. The breech block loads unfired shells and ejects the fired shells accomplishing the semiautomatic recycling. The dual pressure relief valves actuate to moderate and limit the gas pressure that enters the piston chamber when using shotshells of different power levels thereby providing consistency in the recycling operation. The shotgun assembled with a plurality of retention pins having uniformly sized O-rings.

Shotgun cartridge (4) for drone defense, comprising: a cartridge case (6), a base (8) closing the cartridge case (6) to the rear with a primer (10), a cap (12) closing the cartridge case (6) to the front, a propellant charge section (14) arranged in the cartridge case (6) on the base side for receiving a propellant charge ignitable by means of the primer (10), a shot charge section (16) arranged in the cartridge case (6) on the cap side for receiving a shot charge (18), and an intermediate element (20) arranged between the two aforementioned sections (14, 16) as a buffer between the propellant charge and the shot charge (18), characterized in that the shot charge (18) comprises a plurality of shot pellets (24) connected to one another by threads (22) such that the aforementioned plurality of shot pellets (24) connected to one another by threads (22) are, after being fired from a firearm (2), ready for firing using shotgun cartridges to create a net for intercepting drones.

A telescoping shotgun stick is disclosed. The shotgun stick includes a hotstick assembly including an outer tube and an inner tube configured to slide within the outer tube; a telescoping rod assembly including: an outer rod tube; an inner rod configured to slide within the outer rod tube; and a locking mechanism secured to a second end of the outer rod tube, the locking mechanism having a housing with a bore therethrough and first and second actuators extending into the bore; a hook connected to an end of the inner rod; and a hook operating assembly connected to a first end of the outer rod tube, wherein movement of the hook operating assembly causes the hook to move from an open position to a closed position.

The Tactical Rail-Mounted Ammunition Caliber Tag (TRAC Tag) is an adaptable identification system that can be customized to display ammunition caliber, slogans, names, logos, unit identifiers, or other communicable information on a firearm's accessory mounting surface. The system is designed to fit various firearm platforms, including long guns, shotguns, pistols, and Any Other Weapons (AOW) as defined under the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the National Firearms Act of 1934. The system is also adaptable to other platforms, including less-than-lethal systems, paintball markers, airsoft guns, and crossbows. The TRAC Tag system offers multiple configurations to ensure compatibility with different rail systems and is designed for ease of installation and removal without requiring specialized tools.

An Airsoft shotgun firing mechanism has been developed that fires the spherical projectiles of each shot sequentially in rapid succession. The shotgun firing mechanism directs the airflow sequentially against each spherical projectile in the shot, thus pushing each spherical projectile out of the barrel of the Airsoft shotgun. The flow rates of the air are balanced for all the spherical projectiles so all of the spherical projectiles are accelerating when the last spherical projectile is fired. By balancing the airflows, the spherical projectiles have essentially the same energy. The relative acceleration of the spherical projectiles out of the shotgun barrel is determined or selected by balancing the size and configuration of a bypass channel versus the number or stack of spherical projectiles to be fired.
