Automated bore probing lets a CNC machine cut rifle barrel chambers with high concentricity, less setup time, and fewer specialized reamers.
A keyed billet and rib-based fixturing keep gun barrels aligned through 5-axis CNC milling, cutting handling and machining time.
A keyed billet held in one 5-axis setup cuts gun barrel machining time and avoids misalignment from repeated loading.
An elongated barrel gas port entrance reduces projectile contact, preserving shooting accuracy and slowing barrel wear during gas extraction.
A heated barrel core is cured inside a carbon fiber shell to lock in tension, cutting weight while boosting rigidity and shot accuracy.
Rifled spin ejects and expands a packed net, improving launch stability, range, and repeatable UAV capture with a lighter, simpler projectile.
Symmetric suppression tubes and a gas redirector cool and redirect propellant flow to cut rotary gun noise, flash, and shock waves.
Asymmetric land profiles in firearm barrels redirect gas flow to reduce blow-by, erosion, and accuracy loss during firing.
Alternating arcuate and linear rifling portions reduce engraving and friction while preserving projectile stability and barrel life.
Isolated blast chambers keep cartridge gas out of non-firing barrels, limiting fouling and heat transfer while extending component life.
The barrel process fixes chamber depth before heat treatment, then adds composite wrapping for lower weight and longer life.
The chamber is machined to final depth before heat treatment, then composite wrapping reduces weight without heat damage.
A woven stainless steel mesh layer inside a carbon fiber composite sleeve conducts heat lengthwise, reducing barrel weight by 50% while maintaining stiffness.
Segmented design prevents headspace wear during caliber swaps while fluting reduces weight and improves heat dissipation.
Ceramic matrix liner and metal overwrap resist overheating during continuous firing to preserve mortar durability.
Variable twist rifling resolves chamber survivability constraints by modulating torque spikes and pressure relief zones to maximize propellant work.
Ribs and pins distribute thermal stress at transition regions to prevent interface fracture.
Longitudinal grooves merge with rifling to vent expanding gases, lowering internal pressure and achieving subsonic speeds without specialized ammunition.
Rotatable adjustment members enable precise angular orientation of firearm barrels without modifying external surfaces.
Multiple shallow rifling grooves reduce buffeting effects from shock waves on bullet lands, ensuring consistent impact points.
Perforated steel cores in composite barrels distribute combustion forces evenly, reducing weight without sacrificing accuracy or heat dissipation.
Integrating rifling formation into the extrusion process eliminates costly secondary operations and enables production of small caliber barrels.
A sporting rifle integrates a sound suppressor via over-moulded material around the barrel.
A segmented pistol barrel system combines a steel insert with an aluminum receiver to enable caliber swapping.
