Abstract: A weapon safety system with a target and a weapon with an automated lock. Each target is associated with an emitter which transmits a clearance signal that encodes an identifier. The encoded identifier may release the automated lock when received by a receiver attached to the weapon. In order to restrict the positions and orientations from which the weapon can fire to those surrounding the desired targets, shooting is enabled and the automated lock is released, when the following conditions are met: the clearance signal is received by the receiver, so that the receiver is within a first enablement area generated by a first aperture in the emitter; a measured optical power is above a predefined threshold; and the encoded identifier is validated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cartridge-in-chamber detection system for firearms which is independent in situations where the user comes into contact with metal parts of the weapon or situations where said contact does not exist, to provide a reliable indication of the presence or absence of the cartridge in the chamber, where the system comprises means to, through a supply voltage, determine the variation of the electrical capacity between two possible states of the system, when there is no cartridge in the chamber and when there is a cartridge in the chamber, making use of at least one electrode, regardless of the grip performed by the user.
