Abstract: A telescoping gun rest apparatus having a belly plate serving as a base attachable to the belt of a wearer. The telescoping gun rest apparatus is a stabilizing shooting rest that includes an adjustable telescoping tube assembly which provides varying extensions, and is coupled to a ball and socket assembly providing at least two rotational degrees of freedom. The stabilizing shooting rest further includes a yoke serving as a rest at the distal end of the telescopic tube assembly, the yoke is substantially U-shaped and configured to stabilize a desired portion of a rifle, gun, or crossbow while the wearer and user of the telescoping gun rest apparatus is shooting.

Abstract: A body-mountable firearm support assembly that is mountable to the body of a user to support a firearm in a stable configuration in use includes a first elongate support that is supportable, in use, at a first support zone on the body of the user in an operatively forwardly projecting configuration and a second elongate support that is supportable, in use, at a second support zone on the body of the user. The second support zone is lower on the user's body than the first support zone. The second elongate support is connected to the first elongate support at a third support zone spaced, in use, from the first and second support zones along the first and second supports. The assembly also includes an anchoring formation that is wearable, in use, by the user such that it provides the second support zone.

Abstract: A handgun comprised of a frame having a barrel with a muzzle end and a breech end. A breech area is adjacent the breech end of the barrel.

A hatch on the slide is movable between one of a closed position enclosing the breech area and an open position allowing access to the breech area.

Abstract: Pistol for slaughtering animals with captive projectile and hinged breech block, the breech block 13 being automatically locked to the breech 10 before the explosion by means of a balancing lever 37, inside the breech block, having a head 40 at one end for cocking the percussion pin 50 and a tooth 39 at the other end that fits onto a tooth 36 on the breech, the initial stroke made by the trigger 72 causing rotation of the lever 37 and hook-up onto the breech 10, continuance of the trigger's stroke causing said hook-up to be strengthened, releasing the percussion pin 50 for its forward movement.
