Abstract: A linkless ammunition feed system for a firearm. The ammunition feed system has an ammunition container with a path for holding a plurality ammunition rounds in a single file manner and an exit for passing the ammunition rounds out of the container. A pusher is positioned in and adapted to freely slide through the ammunition path, the plurality of ammunition rounds being positioned between the exit and the pusher, the pusher adapted to push the ammunition toward the exit. The pusher is pulled through the ammunition path by a feed line connected to the pusher and extending through the ammunition path. A rotatable feed line spool collects the feed line at the container exit, and a feed sprocket rotates to move an ammunition round from the container exit to a firearm associated with the ammunition feed system.

Abstract: A recoil-operated, impulse averaging, air-cooled, magazine-fed, automatic weapon. An operating group of the weapon includes a chamber, a bolt, a barrel extension and one or more toggles. The recoil action of the weapon from firing a first round drives the toggles in a motion constrained by a cam way. The toggles then drive the chamber in a linear reciprocating motion ejecting a first round and over-riding the next round. An impulse averaging system controls the speed of the recoil.

Abstract: A weapon system comprising a receiver, a barrel, a bolt, a barrel extension, a bolt carriage, and a toggle assembly. The barrel may have a longitudinal axis. The bolt may be spaced a distance from a rearward end of the barrel along the longitudinal axis of the barrel. The barrel extension may be attached to the bolt and connecting the barrel with the bolt. The barrel extension and bolt may be adapted to move linearly with respect to the receiver in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the barrel. The bolt carriage may be movable relative to the bolt between an ammunition loading position and a firing position. The toggle assembly may be adapted to drive the bolt carriage between the loading position and the firing position in response to movement of the barrel extension and bolt relative to the receiver.
