The lock may comprise a conventional key-operated lock or an electronic lock. The locking device is designed primarily to be incorporated into a holster.

Abstract: A short bolt rifle that enables increased barrel without an increase in weight. A longer barrel increases bullet velocity, which increases the range and accuracy of the weapon and the bullet impact energy. In this action, the bolt is simply pulled back and pushed forward. The design includes a loader mechanism that ejects spent cartridges and loads a new cartridge. This happens while the bolt is drawn back and pushed forward. A rotating lock secures the bolt in the firing position. A second version of the action uses a pistol grip. A lock holds the pistol grip, which can be released. After it is released, the user pulls down and back on the grip to open the action. The grip is pushed forward and upward, to load a shell, while the bolt is moved forward and locked. The action also can easily be adapted to fully automatic operation.

Abstract: Cartridges (5) are guided during a loading phase shortly before reaching the automatic cannon (1) onto a first track, which differs from the conveying direction of the conveyor chain (14) and are guided at a greater distance from the revolving drum (13) around the shaft (15) of the revolving drum, and conveyed on. In a firing phase, the cartridges (5) are guided shortly before reaching the automatic cannon (1) onto a second track, which differs from the conveying direction of the conveyor chain (14), are guided around the shaft (15) of the revolving drum (13), and are sequentially brought into a firing position directly behind the revolving drum. After having been fired and ejected, the empty cartridge cases (6) are caught and are transported on the first track into a magazine (4).

Abstract: According to the present invention, a firing mechanism adapted to discharge a non-impact fired ammunition cartridge in a revolver comprises a trigger, a hammer, a stirrup, a transfer bar, a link, and a rebound.

Abstract: A line charge for deploying explosive charges across obstacles and mines to clear a safe lane has explosive charges spaced apart on a common detonating cord, and axial passageways in the explosive charges are sized to permit free longitudinal travel of the detonating cord through them. A composite strength member includes an inner fabric sleeve of high strength flexible material covered by an outer sleeve of thermoset/thermoplastic material and contains the explosive charges and detonating cord. Heat-curing the inner fabric sleeve and outer sleeve shrinks and conforms them to the outer contours of the explosive charges and combines the high strength flexible material and thermoset/thermoplastic material. Composite strength member absorbs energy during deployment of the line charge over its entire length and circumference and absorbs more energy prior to structural failure to allow the use of more powerful rocket motors to fly longer line charges from much greater and safer standoff distances.
