Abstract: A gun lock has a user manipulatable proximate end and a distal end for insertion into a barrel of a firearm. The distal end is spaced from the proximate end by a distance sufficient to allow the distal end to enter the chamber of the firearm when the proximate end is adjacent to but spaced from the barrel of the firearm. The distal end has elements which respond to user manipulation to transit from a first state allowing the distal end to enter and withdraw from the chamber of the firearm and a second state which prevents the distal end from withdrawing from the chamber. With the distal end of the gun lock inserted into the chamber and then transiting to the second state the inability to withdraw the gun lock from the firearm prevents the firearm from normal use.

Abstract: A fragment-free propulsion of a cartridge-type ammunition, including a propellant casing and a high-pressure chamber, wherein the high-pressure chamber accommodates a propellant powder and, in the bottom region, a primer, having at least one overflow bore. To avoid fragments, a membrane, which separates the high-pressure chamber and a low-pressure chamber from one another and which does not tear to connect the high-pressure chamber to the low-pressure chamber when pressure is built up but instead is bent, is embedded in the high-pressure chamber. For this purpose, the high-pressure chamber additionally has a cap, the membrane, and a body. The membrane is embedded in the body and is secured by the cap. In addition, the membrane covers a gap that is formed by an outer diameter of the cap and an inner diameter of the body, and into which the membrane is bent when pressure is built up.
