  • Publication number: 20240102770
    Abstract: A projectile magazine for use with an airgun having a bolt is described herein. The magazine includes a housing with a loading end and openings along a longitudinal axis extending from the loading end to a loading area. The magazine further includes a carousel with a plurality of projectile holders movable through the loading area. Each projectile holder has a projectile holder gap facing the loading end when in the loading area. The projectile holder gap is smaller than a width of the bolt and the projectile holder is resiliently deformable to allow the bolt through the projectile holder gap when exposed to forces created during separation of the magazine and the bolt through the frame gap while the projectile holder does not deform to allow a projectile to be removed from the projectile gap when exposed to the forces generated by a projectile during use of the magazine.

  • Publication number: 20240044617
    Abstract: Firearm associated electronic devices are provided. In one aspect a firearm associated device has a housing having a holding area and an opening through which a removable component may be positioned in the holding area, a door movable relative to the housing and having a door latch that moves along a path as the door moves and a housing latch movable between a first latch position where the housing latch is not in the path to a second latch position where the housing latch blocks movement of the door latch from a first range of positions where the door prevents the removable component from passing through the opening to a second range of positions where the door does not prevent the removable component from passing through the opening. A housing latch biasing member biases the housing latch into the second latch position.

  • Patent number: 11885584
    Abstract: An airgun for use with a projectile supply is described. A cam surface of the airgun and a bolt positioner of the airgun are configured so that rotation from a firing position to a reloading position causes a cam surface of the airgun to drive the bolt positioner through a passageway of the projectile supply to drive a projectile in the passageway to a position where pressurized gas in the firing location will thrust the projectile through the bore.

  • Patent number: 10612883
    Abstract: A rotor support system and a related method are disclosed herein. The rotor support system, in an embodiment, includes a limb coupler and a rotor coupler. The limb coupler is configured to be moveably coupled to a crossbow limb of an archery crossbow so as to enable a first movement of the limb coupler relative to the crossbow limb. The rotor coupler is configured to be moveably coupled to a rotor of the archery crossbow so as to enable a second movement of the rotor relative to the rotor coupler. The limb coupler and the rotor coupler are operably coupled.
