Abstract: A magazine for storing and feeding ammunition cartridges to a small arms weapon which comprises a casing, a floor plate, a follower, and a magazine spring inside the casing. The magazine spring may comprise a first end connected to the follower, a second end connected to the floor plate, and a plurality of coils. Each of the plurality of coils may include a first segment having a first radius, a second segment having a first length adjoining the first segment, a third segment having a second radius adjoining the second segment, the second radius being greater than the first radius, and a fourth segment having a second length adjoining the third segment, the second length being approximately equal to the first length.

Abstract: A pistol grip bipod for a gun may include a bipod assembly that can be attached to a pistol grip of a gun. The bipod assembly may include a housing, a chassis, a port side leg including a port side foot, a starboard side leg including a starboard foot. The bipod assembly further may include first and second operable states such that in the first operational state, the port side foot and the starboard side foot are secured in the housing below the pistol grip, and such that in the second operable configuration the port side foot and the starboard side foot are unlatched from the housing and the port side foot and the starboard side foot are positioned in front of the housing. The pistol grip bipod may be deployed by an operator's dominant hand which remains secured to the pistol grip.

Abstract: A holster body for a gun which may be configurable for left or right dominant hand use and a retention system which may be used with the holster body to form a plurality of retention holster configurations including, without limitation, a Level I retention holster configuration and a Level II retention holster configuration.
