Unmanned systems, and primarily vehicles, and in most embodiments unmanned aerial systems (UAS), as well as novel guided and unguided munitions are presented herein. to the two combine to present unmanned weaponized systems that not only carry weapons functionality, but allow for advanced observation and reconnaissance. These unmanned systems are largely directed toward military applications where the weaponized unmanned system may be forward deployed to allow human warfighters to remain at long range distances from the potential targets, and to provide surveillance, target identification and tracking, general reconnaissance information, and the like, while also providing weaponized attack capabilities. The unmanned systems may, in some embodiments, include advanced command and control capabilities for communication between the system and the remote, rear-positioned warfighter, and between separate elements of the unmanned system. Many embodiments also include weapons systems, munitions, or rounds with guidance and real-time maneuverability capabilities as well.

A light includes a housing, a first illumination assembly, a second illumination assembly, and a control unit. The housing defines a central axis. The first illumination assembly, the second illumination assembly, and the control unit are disposed within the housing. The first illumination assembly and the second illumination assembly each have an on state in which a light beam is emitted and an off state. The control unit is configured to detect a first pitch and a second pitch of the central axis with respect to a direction of the force of gravity. The control unit is in signal communication with the first illumination assembly and the second illumination assembly such that in the first pitch the first illumination assembly is in the on state and in the second pitch the second illumination assembly is in the on the state.

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.

An apparatus for supporting a concealed weapon on a waist of a user includes a first fastener, a second fastener, and a tongue support. The first fastener is configured to attach to a waistband which is configured to extend about the waist of the user. The second fastener is configured to attach to the waistband. The support tongue is configured to extend between the first fastener and the second fastener and attach to the waistband via the first and second fasteners. The support tongue is configured to receive and support a mount for the concealed weapon. When the support tongue is in an upright position, the support tongue is resiliently flexible in a horizontal direction and substantially rigid in a vertical direction.
