Abstract: An ejectable strongback assembly for coupling a delivery vehicle to a payload is provided. The assembly includes a first side configured to couple with the payload, and a second side with first and second canards positioned at opposite ends. The canards generate lift forces in aerodynamic fluid to direct the strongback away from the payload after separation. The assembly further includes first and second interfaces extending from the first side to engage with the payload, at least one separation mechanism to provide initial separation, and electronics configured to send a control signal to the interfaces. The system enables secure attachment and controlled, low-shock release of the strongback and booster, minimizing residual hardware and aerodynamic interference after launch. The assembly can allow a lug-restrained and released object to become a rocket motor-boosted object.

Abstract: A toy projectile launcher having a storage belt, a launch barrel, a cocking slide, an air piston assembly that includes an air nozzle and an air piston barrel, and a housing is disclosed. The storage belt contains projectile holders that are adapted to hold a projectile, such as a foam dart. The cocking slide can be moved forward and backward. When the cocking slide is moved backward, the air piston barrel moves backward and the air nozzle is retracted from a projectile holder, providing clearance for advancing a next projectile holder into a firing position. When the cocking slide is moved forward, the next projectile holder is advanced into the firing position and the air nozzle pushes on the next projectile holder to form an airtight seal between the launch barrel and air piston assembly.

Abstract: A firearm projectile device is provided. The device is comprised of a projectile body with a partially hollow area that allows air to travel through the projectile and reduces the projectile's coefficient of drag. Both ends of the device are preferably pointed to further reduce the coefficient of drag of the device. In addition, the second end attaches to a fitted gas block that seals the projectile from a propellant within the casing of the device.

Abstract: Disclosed are ammunition and ammunition tracking systems. The ammunition and ammunition tracking system may include a first projectile and a marker.

Abstract: An accessory mounting attachment for repeatable precise alignment on a rifle has a mounting section with a top rail. The mounting section has a forward portion with a rear sight leg configured for a pivotable mounting to a rear sight base on the rifle, and a rearward portion with a lock down assembly configured to fix the mounting section to a connecting lug at a rear of a receiver of the rifle. The lock down assembly includes an eccentric element, a lug latching frame, and a coupling element connecting the two. Rotation of the eccentric element by a lever section causes the lug latching frame to move vertically and engage/latch with the connecting lug, so that the accessory mounting attachment is consistently and securely fixed in a same position relative to a barrel of the rifle, which keeps a sighting device attached to the top rail zeroed to the rifle.
