Abstract: This invention provides a bayonet (10) comprising an attachment portion (12) having a first opening (16) for receiving the muzzle of a gun. A second opening is also provided that is aligned with the first opening to allow the passage of a bullet therethrough. An extension portion (14) extends from the attachment portion in the opposite direction of the gun barrel and terminates in a point (24). The attachment portion (12) substantially comprises a polymer and the extension portion (14) has a non ferrous structural core substantially over-molded with a polymer.

Abstract: A shroud is provided for a firearm having a longitudinal barrel. The shroud is configured to co-operate with formations provided on the firearm barrel such as to provide axial alignment therebetween. The shroud further comprises means for mounting one or more devices to the shroud. The alignment between the barrel and the shroud provides for alignment between the device(s) and the barrel. A firearm comprising such a shroud, and a method of configuring a firearm comprising the shroud are also provided.

Abstract: A limb protection device and a method for applying the limb protection device to a user. The device comprises: an enclosure for enclosing the limb section; and at least one flexible cuff integral with and away from which the enclosure extends, the cuff defining an opening into the device and having a tapered profile arranged to allow, in use, the selection of an appropriately sized opening into the device, whereby the appropriately sized opening in the cuff is selected to stretch around and compress against that part of the user's limb extending therethrough in use, to prevent the ingress of matter into or egress of matter out of the device immediately at the device opening. The device may protect a section of a user's limb.

Abstract: A limb protection device for protecting a section of a user's limb against contact comprises and enclosure for enclosing the limb section and at least one integral flexible cuff located at a respective limb entry to the enclosure. The cuff is adapted in use for being positioned against that part of the user's limb adjacent thereto to restrict the ingress of matter via the entry into the enclosure.
