Abstract: Recoil-reducing firearm including a compensating inertial mass coupled to the firearm by a flexible and resilient mass support, where the mass support permits translation of the compensating inertial mass along a translation axis but substantially prevents movement of the compensating inertial mass in a direction orthogonal to the translation axis. The mass support is configured so that movement of the compensating inertial mass in a distal direction can at least partially dissipate energy imparted to the firearm by firing a round of ammunition and impelling the projectile down the barrel.

Abstract: Ballistic body armor is provided having a ballistic body armor panel disposed in a flexible carrier vest. The panel has a pair of opposing outer walls sealed to each other and defining therebetween a gas-impermeable and water-impermeable interior in which is disposed a plurality of layers of woven or non-woven ballistic material. To reduce degradation of the ballistic material, ambient air is removed from the interior of the panel and is replaced with an inert gas. A sensor is disposed in the panel configured to detect a marker indicative of a risk of ballistic panel degradation. The sensor may provide a visual and/or electronic indication (such as a microchip sensor indication). In particular embodiments the marker indicates a level of oxygen above a certain threshold level. The outer walls of the panel may be opaque to reduce penetration of ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: An ejector system for ejecting/separating a store, such as a weapon, from a launch platform includes a pair of spring assemblies that each include nested springs that are contained in a housing when the spring assemblies are in a compressed configuration. To separate the store from the aircraft the spring assemblies each move from the initial compressed configuration to an extended configuration, using the potential energy stored in the springs when compressed. The extension of the springs extends the springs mostly out of the spring assembly housings, extending telescoped sleeves of the spring assemblies. The extension of the spring assemblies provides a safe and steady way of separating the store from the launch platform, while having the advantages of being reusable, low cost and low weight, not producing any debris, and providing a softer push than may be produced by other separation mechanisms, such as the use of pyrotechnic devices.

Abstract: A structure includes a bolt body combined in a toy gun, a bullet feeding element, a high pressure air opening, an air outlet opening, an air valve assembly, a piston element, a recoil bar at one side of the bolt body, a first elastic element fit over the recoil bar, a bolt sleeve defined at one side of the bolt body and movably fit over the recoil bar, and an abutting section. When the high pressure air is input through the high pressure air opening, the air valve assembly may change a flowing direction thereof and drive the abutting section to move so as to control rearward movement of the piston element, the bolt body, and the bullet feeding element. A first elastic element that is operable to move the bolt body forward is disposed on the recoil bar outside the bolt body.
