Abstract: A bowfishing arrow and method of bowfishing. The bowfishing arrow includes a shaft having a main stem. A locking pin is slidably movable within a bore of the main stem. A fish point with a pair of pivoting barbs is secured to the distal end of the main stem. An outer sleeve is longitudinally movable with respect to the main stem and the locking pin is engaged with the outer sleeve to move with the outer sleeve. The barbs pivot between a shooting position, a locked position, and an unlocked position. When in the locked position, an end of the locking pin is clamped between cams preventing the barbs from pivoting to toward the unlocked position and the shooting position until the fish is landed. A one-handed maneuver is all that is required to release the arrow from the fish after it is landed.

Abstract: A device and method introduces the use of conventional ammunitions to the archery/bow hunting industry. The device achieves stealthy delivery of firearm munitions and increases the firepower of standard arrows resulting in deeper penetration into a target. The device consists generally of a cylindrical housing threaded internally on one end for attachment to a firing pin assembly. A firing pin is slideably attached to the firing pin assembly. A cartridge is loaded into the housing until the flange on the cartridge casing abuts an interior shoulder. In an alternate embodiment, the interior of the housing further includes an annular retaining tab. The retaining tab separates the cartridge from the firing pin to prevent inadvertent discharge. A cap or nosepiece may be included to further protect the device from accidental discharge of the cartridge and to provide aerodynamic advantages. The housing further includes a set of stabilizing vanes.

Abstract: A bullet defines a chamber and mechanism for extending an explosive body from the chamber. The chamber has a broader top portion than a lower portion. The bullet further defines a channel passage leading out of the top end of the bullet. The bullet contains the explosive body slidably engaged within the channel passage. A shaft is connected to the body and passes down from the body into the lower portion of the chamber. A thrust plate is connected to the shaft end in the chamber. The thrust plate is spring metal and when the cartridge is fired, the thrust plate rises pushing the body so that it extends from the leading end of the bullet. When the thrust plate rises to the second portion of the chamber, it springs open to prevent subsequent downward motion of the thrust plate and consequently prevents subsequent retraction of the body during flight.

Abstract: An arrow is provided with a head that will take game in a more humane way and without long suffering. This new arrowhead is a dual powder-charged multiple-strength powered projectile that is activated after a delayed interval. As a result of the unleashed power caused by this activation, the arrowhead's bullet housing point will just flare out and the cases will induce powerful venting to rupture the vital organs nearby, or it will flare out and separate itself from the rest of the housing, the tissue anchored arrowhead causing damage by its path forward. Because all this action occurs inside the game's body, it is silent but gravely stunning to all organs. The result is on the spot drop and expiration, with minimal suffering and positive retrieval.

Abstract: A shark gun injects a sharpened projectile into a predator and thereafter forces compressed gas into the predator. The shark gun is comprised of a compressed gas holding cylinder, a firing chamber having a plunger that bears the sharpened projectile and a valve that selectively permits the compressed gas to act on the plunger. A trigger actuates the valve.

Abstract: The invention relates to a weapon whose main object is to attack targets, such as armoured tanks, from above unexpectedly. The weapon includes an active part (1), a propulsion unit, such as a launching device (2), an anchorage attachment (4) which is intended to be firmly anchored in relation to the terrain, and a line (3) whose first end (5) is attached to the active part (1) and whose second end (6) is pivotally attached to the anchorage attachment (4). When used, the active part (1) is launched vertically upwards, with the line (3) held taut, whereafter the active part is guided by the line through the air in a circular arcuate path or trajectory (8) to a target (7), with the centre of the arcuate trajectory in the anchorage attachment (4).

Abstract: A remote injection device for animals comprises a barrel with a piston slideable within the barrel from an initial retracted position at one end of the barrel forwardly toward the opposed end of the barrel to discharge liquid in an injection action through a needle at the forward end of the barrel. The piston is held in a retracted position by an O-ring on a release member which projects through an O-ring carried on the inside surface of the barrel. The inner diameter of the O-ring on the barrel can be adjusted by axial movement of the pair collars on the inside of the barrel. This adjusts the amount of force necessary to push the release member O-ring through the outer O-ring to release the piston to be moved by spring to the discharge position. The barrel can be mounted either upon an arrow type projectile so the impact forces are sufficient to release the piston upon engaging the animal.

Abstract: A projectile for a darting gun, comprising a front head housing a front ignition plunger arranged for axial rearward movement when the tip of the projectile strikes a target, the ignition plunger communicating with a rearwardly extending striker means which in an uninfluenced position of the ignition plunger terminates at a first predetermined distance from an ignition time delay element, the ignition time element when triggered by the striker means being arranged to fire a detonator which in turn detonates a main charge arranged in a tubular body attached to the rear of the front head, a safeguarding means which can be influenced by an outer mechanical force, the safeguarding means in a first position holding the ignition time delay element at a second predetermined distance from the detonator, and in a second position allowing the ignition time delay element to travel the second predetermined distance so as to be brought in close enough communication with the detonator for the detonation thereof when said p

Abstract: A projectile having a tubular projectile body and provided with pointed fins pivotally mounted at the front end of the projectile body. The head fins expand when the projectile strikes a target shark to prevent the projectile from passing clear through the shark and to present a wound which is covered by a searing agent which is released from the interior of the body when the projectile strikes the target. The searing agent sears the wound, eliminating bleeding which attracts predators. Several embodiments of the projectile are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a speed retarding mechanism for aerial bs launched from a high velocity vehicle and designed to provide a high drag stabilizer capable to withstand release in air stream velocities moving at 2600 feet per second. The mechanism includes a balloon consisting of a top and bottom panel joined on the perimeters and having valve openings through its bottom panel. When the load has been braked to an acceptable velocity the valve closes the openings causing the balloon to collapse and become a streamer providing a high energy impact.

Abstract: A sonobuoy for launching at high altitudes from present sonobuoy launching tubes. A plurality of spring loaded stabilizing fins are held in place adjacent the body of the sonobuoy by rotovanes in their stored position. Upon launching the sonobuoy from an aircraft, the stabilizing fins assume their stabilizing position substantially perpendicular to the body of the sonobuoy due to the spring action but are held in place by the stored rotovanes. Upon reaching a lower altitude, the rotovanes are released to allow rotochute action to slow the descent of the sonobuoy. Upon deployment of the rotovanes to their operating position, the stabilizing fins previously held in place by the stored rotovanes separate to allow proper rotochute action.
