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.

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.
