Abstract: A hunting decoy designed to conceal a sportsman hunting wild game animals, especially wild turkeys. The hunting decoy includes a flat panel frame having a forward-facing surface for supporting a decoy image of an animal thereon. The frame has a sight window formed therein and a mounting aperture formed therein disposed beneath the sight window. The sight window defines a hunter's line-of-sight substantially perpendicular to the forward-facing surface of the frame. The mounting aperture is dimensioned to slidably receive therethrough a support member of a hunting weapon, such as the barrel of a hunting gun, so that a compressible mounting member, such as a rubber grommet, in the mounting aperture fixedly mounts the frame on the support member substantially perpendicular to the hunter's line-of-sight.

Abstract: A mounting assembly for mounting an optic to a body having a bottom member defining a mounting base, a top member releasably coupled to the bottom member to define an optic aperture therebetween, and a protective shield coupled to the top member. The protective shield is coupled directly to the top member and the top member is coupled to the body through the bottom member.

Abstract: A hand shield assembly for a weapon includes: a flexible first hand shield made of penetration-resistant material, the first hand shield having opposed front and rear faces, and spaced-apart side edges connecting spaced-apart top and bottom edges, wherein a mounting point is defined near the top edge; and a mount attached to the mounting point and configured to attach the hand shield assembly to a weapon such that the first hand shield may hang vertically from the mount.

Abstract: A personal protection shield for use with a weapon, such as a firearm, may be used to protect the operator of the weapon. The shield may include one or more ballistic plates and one or more mounting assemblies to mount a ballistic plate to the weapon.

Abstract: A modular ballistic shield design includes a viewport which extends from a first lateral edge of the shield to the second lateral edge providing unobstructed viewing. The three modules are connected together in a manner enabling replacement of any particular damaged module. No fastener protrudes through to the front face in a region fronting the user.

Abstract: A safety device comprises a shield, and an supporting frame. The shield is fixed on the body of the rifle to protect the shooter's face. The supporting frame is adapted to support the shield against the impact of a bullet shooting on the shield or other attack.

Abstract: An adapter for mounting on a weapon. The adapter illustratively includes a plurality of mounting rails for removably coupling with a variety of accessories, such as sights, illumination devices, and laser aiming devices.

Abstract: Fixed weapon emplacements include ballistic weapon stands having heights sufficient to protect standing gunners in combination with tripods, which are fixed thereto with welded connections. In a first embodiment, the tripod has two legs fixed to a weapon platform and to the base of the ballistic weapons stand and a third leg fixed to the weapon platform and to a weld plate on a front armor plate of the stand. In a second embodiment, the third leg of the tripod is provided by a strut that extends through a slot in the front armor plate and is welded to both a weld plate behind the front armor plate and to the weapon platform. In a third embodiment, the tripod has one leg fixed to the base of the weapon stand and two legs welded to a weld plate behind the front armor panel to support the weapon platform. In a fourth embodiment, a hood projects from the front armor plate with a front leg of the tripod fixed to the base at a location within the hood and rear legs of the tripod fixed to the base.

Abstract: A ballistic weapon stand has a base plate for mounting armor panels having front and rear faces. The armor panels are fastened to and extend upwardly from the base at an angle in the range of 10-30° with respect to the vertical to define a protected space behind the panels. Struts are welded to the base plate and extend upwardly toward and through an opening in a middle armor panel and between the edges of the middle armor panel and side armor panels. Welding plates are constructed and arranged for welding to the struts on the rear faces of the armor plates. The welding plates extend over the rear faces of the armor plates at junctions between the armor plates. A weapon platform is disposed on a second portion of at least one of the struts for mounting a weapon in the protected space to fire out past the front face of the armor panels. A transparent projectile defeating shield is mounted to swivel with the weapon, preferably on the weapons stand.

Abstract: A universal accessory mount for a heavy machine gun includes an annular base adapted to be disposed concentrically over a front end of a shroud of the gun and having diametrically opposing upper and lower accessory mounting tines extending forwardly therefrom. A holding mechanism pulls a planar floor of a counterbore in the rear of the base into contact with a planar front surface of the shroud of the gun. The holding mechanism includes a pair of threaded bolts extending rearwardly from the base through respective ones of a pair of diametrically opposing bolt apertures contained in the base, and a pair of cleats, each having an opening into which a rear end portion of a respective one of the bolts is received and a respective hook adapted to grip the shroud of the gun through a respective hole in the shroud.

Abstract: An integral ballistic shield formed of ballistic material is provided with a central portion and side portions to provide front and partial side ballistic protection. A support extends from the backside of the shield adjacent a truncated V-groove opening through the upper edge of the shield. The support includes a handle for simultaneously grasping the grip of a long gun with one hand, enabling the individual to support the shield and the long gun by the one hand. The individual's opposite hand is free to operate the long gun. Thus, the hand that supports the shield also supports the long gun.

Abstract: A ballistic shield has a handle to allow for one arm deployment. The shield also includes an integral window and a firearm mounted to the shield that may be dischargeably operated in its mounted position. Optionally, a second firearm at a different orientation from the first firearm, and/or other weapons or accessories may be mounted to the shield.

Abstract: An armored shield includes an armor plate, an elongated spine member and a securing snap member. The modular armored shield is formed of the armor plate placed on two resting surfaces of a backside of the spine member with a hump portion of the elongated spine member extending through an armor plate slot and a securing snap member being mounted to the hump portion of the spine member with the hump portion extending through a securing snap slot. A modular armored shield assembly includes a plurality of armor plates joined at edges where at least one of two adjacent plates has threaded studs extending from the surface thereof and the other of said two adjacent plates has edges slots opening to the edge thereof at positions corresponding to positions of the studs. The modular armored shield assembly further includes a securing strip.

Abstract: A pivotally adjustable shield includes a first member having substantially planar front and rear surfaces and an edge portion integral therewith. The shield further includes a second member having substantially planar front and rear surfaces and an edge portion engageable with the edge portion of the first member. An elongated pin is positioned through a plurality of apertures of the first and second members. An arm brace is connected to the first member and extends rearwardly therefrom and a hand bar is connected to the second member and extends rearwardly therefrom. A Velcro patch or clip is affixed to the second member and a firearm holster is connectable thereto.
