Abstract: A projectile has a base, a tip, and a body axis intersecting the base at a trailing axis point and the tip at a leading axis point. The projectile includes a meplat that is substantially orthogonal to the body axis and a plurality of standoffs that extend away from both the trailing axis point and the leading axis point.

Abstract: A muzzleloader system is disclosed, in which a muzzleloader has an integrally formed, sound moderated barrel and is configured to operate without a breech plug.

Abstract: A projectile has a body with three fins which partially define a meplat. Three flutes are alternatingly arranged with the three fins about an axis of the body. Each of the three flutes is at least partially defined by a curved surface having a substantially smooth radius of curvature that is substantially constant from the meplat to a side surface of the body.

Abstract: The present invention is for a firearm sound suppressor which is attached to the barrel of a firearm to reduce the noise and flash generated by the firearm. The firearm sound suppressor improves the dissipation of heat and provides a breach head on the end thereof for use as a ramming and breaching instrument.

Abstract: An expanding subsonic projectile has a body having an ogive of greater than about 8 calibers. The body at least partially defines a hollow bore and a hydrostatic ram disposed proximate a first end of the bore.

Abstract: An expanding subsonic projectile has a body that has a meplat and at least partially defines a hollow bore having a bore diameter. An insert is disposed at least partially in the bore. The insert includes an insert axis; a tip disposed on the insert axis; a leading section extending from the tip towards the meplat, wherein the leading section has an expanding section diameter along the insert axis from the tip towards the meplat; and a waist extending from the leading section towards the meplat. The waist has a contracting waist diameter along the insert axis from the leading section towards the meplat.
