The projectile carrier is distinct from the barrel and includes at least one projectile retaining element held in place by at least one locking element arranged to move on the projectile carrier between a locking position, in which the at least one projectile retaining element is engaged with a retention surface included by the projectile, and an unlocked position, in which the projectile is free to move under the effect of pressure in the pressure chamber.

US12416468 - Gas-powered gun

A gas-powered gun for discharge of projectiles, comprising a pressure chamber for holding compressed gas, a valve arranged to release compressed gas from the pressure chamber to thereby discharge a projectile provided in a barrel, and a plenum chamber in fluid connection with the pressure chamber. The plenum chamber is formed coaxially around a rear portion of the barrel.

US12416469 - Gate-keeper rifle holder

A firearm attachment and method for transport implementing a receiver plate affixed permanently, semi-permanently, or removably to tactical, or non-tactical clothing items or accessories. The receiver plate has one or more apertures with means of latching, clasping, or otherwise grasping by way of a fork, pin, keyhole, or other geometry that may cause an interference fit with an insertion pin, post, or other appendage. The insertion post may be a modified or re-purposed take-down pin that is a modification or improvement of a component already existing on a firearm. A insertion post may also be affixed to an accessory aperture or other device, existing on or mounted on a firearm or on accessories mounted to the firearm.

US12416470 - Holster with retention device and related methods

A holster is for a firearm and may include a holster body having a proximal wall to be adjacent a user, a distal wall opposite the proximal wall and defining a cavity to receive the firearm, a first longitudinal side coupling the proximal wall and the distal wall, and a second longitudinal side opposite the first longitudinal side and coupling the proximal wall and the distal wall. The holster may include a first retention device having an anchor body coupled between the proximal wall and the distal wall at the second longitudinal side, a flexible arm extending from the anchor body and to press against the firearm when in the cavity, and an adjustable feature carried by the anchor body and configured to bias the flexible arm against the firearm.

US12416471 - Modular holster assembly

In an example, a mounting apparatus for releasably connecting a holster can include at least one clip and a canal. The canal can include a grooved path that can extend along a base of the canal, and an inner channel that can receive a plunger of a plunger device to secure the holster to mounting apparatus. The mounting apparatus can include a sliding pusher that can disengage the holster from the mounting apparatus. In some examples, a system can include a holster that can include a ring support structure having a cavity that can include a ring attachment structure. A mounting apparatus of the system can include a cavity that includes the slide lock, and an opening. The mounting apparatus further comprising openings through which portions of pinch plates can extend for disengaging the holster from the mounting apparatus.

US12416472 - Human detection and warning method, sighting device and computer-readable storage medium

A human detection and warning method includes: acquiring a current scene image within a current field of view of a sighting device; determining whether there is a human target being currently aimed at and/or whether there is currently target tracking of a human target, based on a target recognition result of the current scene image and a position of an aiming mark in the current scene image; and triggering the sighting device to enter an abnormal aiming mode if there is a human target being currently aimed at and/or there is currently target tracking of a human target.

US12416473 - Dry fire practice training device

When a semi-automatic weapon is live fired, it's firing pin is reset, and it is ready to be fired again. The shooter's hands remain in the firing position, and just the trigger finger and trigger are employed. With dry fire practice, the shooter must manually rack the slide to reset the firing pin, allowing the trigger to return to its unfired position each time a shot is simulated. This invention provides, realistic muscle memory training by duplicating the action of the trigger in normal live fire, the feel and the sound of the release of the firing pin, and the resetting of the trigger for additional trigger activation. The invention further provides components that allow use with other electronic training devices such as lasers, video simulators, and virtual reality.
