US12566047 - Dual trigger weapon control system with integrated manual and assisted targeting

The devices, systems, and methods described herein are directed to a manual and assisted targeting system integrated into a weapon control system that includes dual triggers. One trigger is fully manual and is always operational. The second trigger is electronically controlled and is linked to aiming sensors, targeting sensors, and a controller comprising firing control logic. The firing control logic calculates an aim goal, based at least partially on location information pertaining to the target, and determines when the difference between the aimpoint of the weapon and the aim goal is below a threshold. In response to this determination, a control signal is sent to a trigger actuator to fire the weapon.

US12560394 - Firearm monitoring devices, systems, and methods

A firearm safety sensing system for the monitoring and detection of firearm movement including a firearm storage device configured to store a firearm, a firearm monitoring device including one or more processors, sensors, and communication interfaces. The sensors are positioned to sense when either the firearm stored in the firearm storage device and/or the firearm storage device changes position relative to the sensors and may detect when the firearm storage device has been opened or unlocked. The processor receives sense signals, determine whether the sense signal represents a change in position of the firearm relative to the sensors, and send, via a communication interface and firearm monitoring device, a change in position notification to the user and may receive instructions to execute from the user. A user may manually or automatically prevent the firearm storage device from being opened. Multi-factor authentication may be enabled if power or communications are disrupted.

US12560414 - Impact distance scoring system for clay target shooting

An impact distance scoring system for clay target shooting includes a target embedded with a tracking sensor, a launching mechanism, a plurality of detection units, and a processing unit. The system is designed to determine the distance after launch at which a clay pigeon is struck by a shooter's projectiles, offering a quantifiable method for scoring in clay target shooting sports. The plurality of detection units is dispersed within a field of play at regular intervals. As the target travels across the field of play, the tracking sensor is detected by the detection units. The processing unit receives signals from the detection units to ascertain the travel distance of the target and calculates a score based on this distance. A display device connected to the processing unit provides a visual output of the score and travel distance, facilitating immediate feedback to the shooter.

US12392574 - Recoil management system for a gun

A system is disclosed for extending a recoil impulse of a gun. The system elongates the recoil impulse to spread the recoil energy over time and reduce felt (i.e., peak) recoil force. Although the system adds weight to a gun, the system reduces felt recoil beyond what is possible by simply adding weight to a gun by using an inertial weight on a spring to absorb and release energy. To prevent shaking, the inertial weight system is tuned to a gun so that the inertial weight hits a pair of stops at certain points in the gun's discharge action cycle.
