  • Patent number: 11293722
    Abstract: A smart safety contraption for use with a firearm. The smart safety contraption includes of a tubular body adapted to fit into a barrel of the firearm. The tubular body having a front end having a first diameter and a back end having a second diameter. The first diameter is smaller than the second diameter. At least part of the front end is positioned within the barrel directed to a muzzle of the firearm. The smart safety contraption further comprises an image capturing device installed within the front end and directed to objects located in front of the barrel. The smart safety contraption further includes a control unit adapted to cause an image to be captured by the image capturing device upon receiving an indication corresponding to, e.g. a motion of the trigger. The image may include a graphic element designed to indicate a virtual point of impact.
