US12687359 - Systems and techniques for managing a fleet of user-authenticated guns

The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for managing a fleet of user-authenticated guns. A device, such as a configuration device, may determine that an administrator is authorized to configure a gun. The device may generate a user interface including multiple digital assets, where each digital asset of the multiple digital assets represents a respective human user. The device may collect user input from the administrator indicating that a human user, represented by a digital asset of the multiple digital assets, is selected as an authorized operator of the gun. The device may generate a configuration message and transmit the configuration message to the gun, where the configuration message is designed to configure the gun to allow the human user to operate the gun and prevent other human users from operating the gun.

US12680778 - Apparatus and method for measuring and training movement for combat firearms performance

An apparatus is used to measure movement performance of a user undergoing firearm combat training. A light emitter emits a light signal along a beam path traversing over a starting location such that the light signal is interrupted by a user at the starting location. A target device initiates a visual representation of a threat directed towards a user at the starting location. A light detector detects a non-interference condition of the light emitter in which the light signal along the beam path is not interrupted at the starting location. A controller monitors the light detector and determines when the user has moved away from the starting location into the non-interference condition of the light emitter. The controller may also measure an elapsed time between activation of the target device and determination of the non-interference condition of the light emitter.

US12650613 - Aiming glasses

Aiming glasses can be used for finding a line of aim when shooting firearms and pneumatic weapons, as well as in archery, billiards, golf, and curling. The aiming glasses include an optical part in which aiming guides can be moved and rotated relative to a frame in order to align the center of the guides with the visual axis of the eye, which passes through the center of the fovea and the target, and to vertically orient the guides. The results are improved at aiming accuracy and greater versatility of the aiming glasses for use in different types of sport. A further technical result is that of enabling a sportsperson to cultivate a reproducible afterimage of the aiming guides at the start of a line of aim.

A portable, dynamic, and wireless reactive target system designed for firearms training. The system features electromechanical targets that dynamically present themselves and record performance metrics, enhancing shooter training through varied target presentations. The targets communicate wirelessly with a central controller application on a tablet, offering flexible deployment and rapid setup. Performance data is analyzed and displayed in customizable reports, enabling targeted skill improvement. The system includes features like LED illumination for specialized drills and competitive scenarios, ensuring a comprehensive and realistic training experience.

US12618629 - System for cooling automatic firearms and cannons

A barrel cooling system for a weapon includes a corrosion prevention cylinder between a barrel and cooling fins arranged around the cylinder.

US12618639 - Grips for handheld projectile weapons, handheld projectile weapons that include the grips, and associated methods

Grips for handheld projectile weapons, handheld projectile weapons that include the grips, and related methods. The grips include a grip frame, a frame cover, and a fastener. The grip frame includes a frame keyed region, a frame fastener receptacle, and an attachment structure. The frame cover is configured to be operatively attached to the grip frame, to cover a corresponding region of the grip frame, and to at least partially define a grip surface of the grip. The frame cover includes a cover keyed region, which is shaped to slidingly engage with the frame keyed region along an engagement axis. The frame cover also includes a cover fastener receptacle positioned to align with the frame fastener receptacle. The fastener extends through both the frame fastener receptacle and the cover fastener receptacle to resist relative motion between the grip frame and the frame cover.

US12613080 - Systems and methods for accuracy assistance calculation and display on removable device

A removable optics attachment for a weapon includes a first display, at least one sensor, at least one wireless communication circuit for sending an receiving data, and a processor. The processor is programed to: receive environmental data from an information network and the at least one sensor; receive user account data from the information network; determine bullet drop compensation data based on the environmental data and the user account data; and display the bullet drop compensation data on the first display.

US12560417 - Ballistic test barrels and related systems and methods

A ballistic test barrel system includes a fixture, a chamber in the fixture, a barrel extending from the chamber, and an observation window in or on the chamber.

US12553679 - Safety control system for portable weapons, including crossbow and firearms, such as handguns, rifles and alike

The present invention directs to a safety control system for portable weapons, including, but not limited to, crossbows and firearms, such as guns, rifles and alike, using various sensors to ensure safe target, environment, location, and situation for operating portable weapons. The safety control system unlocks a firing sequence of the portable weapons only when it is safe to operate.

US12540795 - Modular scope mounting system with serrated interfaces for mounting components

Firearms and accessories are disclosed herein. The firearm can carry a scope mounting assembly configured to couple to a firearm and includes serrated interfaces configured to engage a complementary serrated interface of a component such that the component is rotationally and translationally fixed to the scope mounting assembly. The interlocked serrated interface maintains positional relationships between the component and another component, such as a scope, and/or the firearm.

US12480387 - Methods and devices for orienting perforated guns

Methods and devices for orienting multiple gun barrels in desired directions and configurations have the locking threads of the gun barrels and the sub bodies placed in specified locations. Thus, when the sub body and the two gun barrels are joined to each other, the scallops of the two gun barrels will be aligned with each other.

US12480751 - Ammunition decapping apparatus

Provided is ammunition decapping apparatus 10 comprising a decapping platform 12 , a case receptacle 14 , a die gantry 40 arranged over the decapping platform 12 and including a reciprocating die mount 42 , and a case feeder 46 configured to operatively feed a case upright onto the decapping platform 12 . Also included is a case urger 48 configured to urge a case fed from the case feeder 46 into the case receptacle 14 , and an actuator arrangement 50 configured to actuate the case urger 48 and die mount 42 so that a case is fed into the decapping receptacle 14 and a die 44 mounted in the die mount 42 is able to decap the case.
