  • Patent number: 12281865
    Abstract: A supplemental propulsion system for a weapon used to fire a projectile includes a barrel and chamber to hold a projectile round. A translating pressure tank surrounds a portion of the barrel, and the pressure tank is configured to translate along the barrel. A recoil spring assembly includes a spring and a pressure plate downstream of the chamber for holding the projectile round. The pressure tank is coupled to the pressure plate such that the spring is configured to stretch upon firing of the projectile and translate the pressure tank along a length of the barrel. The barrel includes a first port configured to selectively align with a first tank port during translation, for the discharge of pressurized gas from the pressure tank. The discharge of pressurized gas occurs rearward of the projectile as it passes through the barrel after firing.

  • Patent number: 12281869
    Abstract: A projectile launcher that can be selectively configured to either launch toy ball projectiles or launch toy rocket projectiles. The projectile launcher is a pneumatic launcher that has a main tube. The main tube terminates with a launch head. A slide tube engages the main tube in a telescoping manner. The relative movement of the slide tube and the main tube displaces air through the launch head. The projectile launcher is normally configured to launch toy ball projectiles. By adding a launch adapter to the launch head, the projectile launcher can be configured to launch toy rocket projectiles. The launch adapter has an elongated launch tube and a base. The base is selectively attachable to the launch head. This concentrically aligns the elongated launch tube with the main tube. A toy rocket projectile can be paced over the elongated launch tube.

  • Patent number: 12264898
    Abstract: A remote weapon system structured to be interfaced with aerial, ground and sea vehicles or platforms for operation in mission critical conditions, allows for mounting and control of single or multi-shot anti-armor rocket launcher systems and provides optical sighting, laser range finding and fire control to adjust vertical elevation, sight of target and trigger of the ignition system. A tactical gimbal controlled by a high torque motor with dual shafts allows for high positional accuracy and target hold that is stable. A frame shrouds and secures rocket launcher tubes causing them to move in unison with the tactical gimbal as a single or multi-shot system. Ignition of the rocket(s) is achieved by a remote-controlled ignitor.
