Abstract: A rotary ammunition magazine for a rifle has a follower that is spring biased and rotates about an axis to move cartridges for feeding to the rifle's chamber. The follower has a rib and/or a projection on a surface facing the cartridges. The rib engages the last cartridge in a stack and directs the force from the follower in the direction of movement of the cartridges within the magazine. The projection engages the extractor groove in the last cartridge to prevent it from moving under inertial forces caused by recoil. The rib engages and prevents the last cartridge from moving down the follower. The projection and rib prevent bolt override malfunctions.

Abstract: A rotary feed magazine for a pump action shotgun has circumferentially arranged chambers loaded with shells, the magazine being releasably attached to the shotgun such that the chambers can be successively rotated into alignment with a receiver chamber by a slide action cam actuator mechanism which takes the place of the conventional pump action mechanism of the gun; and when each magazine chamber is aligned with the receiver chamber the slide action mechanism will control successive advancement or feeding of the shells from the magazine chamber under the urging of a plunger. A cam is activated in response to depletion of the shells in each chamber to move into the path of movement of the cam actuated mechanism whereby to impart rotation to the magazine in order to advance the next loaded chamber in succession into alignment with the receiver chamber.

Abstract: A pistol that has a barrel and bolt is provided and consists of a mechanism for revolving a cylindrical magazine that has a plurality of radial chambers which hold a plurality of cartridges within a cylindrical bore of a handle.

Abstract: A self-loading firearm for firing rubber bullets and the like has an actuating mechanism comprising a toggle linkage which is straightened on operation of the trigger against its spring bias. Initial straightening of the toggle linkage moves the breech block forward to locate a round of ammunition in a short socket at the chamber end of the barrel. As the toggle linkage moves over center it locks the breech block forward and displaces a sear to release the firing pin. The round is fired with its case virtually unsupported. On release of the trigger the toggle mechanism is bent so withdrawing the breech block and the spent round which is automatically ejected. The firing pin is simultaneously re-cocked. Rotary and vertical stacking rechargeable magazines are described, from which a fresh round is automatically fed to the breech on ejection of a spent round.

Abstract: A firearm especially for firing large calibre rounds such as rubber bullets and having a rotary magazine which is rechargeable at any stage of depletion. A loading arm serves to guide rounds through an inlet opening in the magazine, in such a way that they are received into corresponding locations in a rotating carrier, and the carrier rotates forward one position with each additional round. Until the penultimate round, the guide means is locked to the magazine body. In this position, it obstructs further movement of the first-inserted round and thus prevents insertion of the final round. Mechanism is described by which, on insertion of the final round the guide means automatically unlocks from the magazine body and locks to the rotating carrier. In this condition it serves to keep the first inserted round locked in the magazine as it completes a full rotation to come opposite the inlet opening once more.
