Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and apparatus for a space-saving suspension system. In various embodiments, the apparatus may comprise a fine suspension device, a coarse suspension device, and a mechanical assembly. In various embodiments, the fine suspension device is arranged at an angle greater than zero degrees from the z-axis. In various embodiments, the mechanical assembly is coupled to the fine suspension device and a payload, such that when a force is exerted on the mechanical assembly by the payload, an applied force is transmitted to the fine suspension device.

A recoil management system.

A portable firearm securement system configured to secure a firearm and prevent firing of the firearm while also being configured to be easily moveable is disclosed. The portable firearm securement system may be formed from first and second bodies for securing a firearm and preventing access to a trigger of the firearm, whereby the first and second bodies are positioned on both sides of the firearm adjacent the trigger and magazine well. Three pins extending from the first body to the second body prevent rotation of a firearm relative to the first and second bodies. Additionally, one pin extends thru the second body and includes a securement orifice through which a padlock shackle may be positioned to lock a firearm in place within the securement system. The securement system may be releasably secured to a securement object with a tether wrapped around the securement object and secured to the padlock.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed to facilitate equipment status verification in a storage device. An example vehicle comprises: an equipment rack, a processor and memory, and a display. The equipment rack includes sensors to generate presence and securement information. The processor and memory are in communication with the sensors and are configured to: determine a presence status of an object assigned to the equipment rack, determine a securement status of the object in the equipment rack, and display a report of the presence and securement statuses via the display.

A compact 50 caliber machine gun system which utilizes an original Browning rear-stripping ammunition link design. The chain-driven machine gun system features a delinker assembly configured to receive a belt of linked cartridges, separate each of the cartridge from the belt rearwardly, and feed each of the cartridges for firing. The delinking function is separated from the motion of the bolt assembly so as to reduce the overall length of the gun system. The receiver has a receiver mounting length RML from the rear base of each incoming cartridge in a belt of connected links to the rear end of the receiver that is less than 15 inches. A shuttle feed system is incorporated into the basic chain gun style mechanism which had been limited to a sprocket feed on all previous designs. An electronic anti-hangfire system uses a single proximity switch and the already existing parts and motions of the gun.

Various embodiments of the present technology may comprise a method and apparatus for a space-saving suspension system. In various embodiments, the apparatus may comprise a fine suspension device, a coarse suspension device, and a mechanical assembly. In various embodiments, the fine suspension device is arranged at an angle greater than zero degrees from the z-axis. In various embodiments, the mechanical assembly is coupled to the fine suspension device and a payload, such that when a force is exerted on the mechanical assembly by the payload, an applied force is transmitted to the fine suspension device.

A gun transport system is described for safely and securely transporting guns in a bed of a utility vehicle. The gun transport system comprises a support frame that mounts to the sidewalls of the vehicle bed and two or more gun cases that can be releaseably secured to the support frame. The support frame includes two frame sections that are pivotally connected at one end to a sidewall of the vehicle bed and pivotally connected to one another at the opposite end. The three-point pivot arrangement enables the support frame to fit vehicle beds of varying width. The support frame supports the gun cases at an angled position so that the gun cases are easily accessible from the sides of the vehicle and the front end of the gun case pointing upwardly.

An apparatus for mounting a weapon to a support structure comprising a pintle assembly including a slide block; a pintle coupled to the slide block; a pintle lever with a handle and a rod rotatably coupled to the slide block; and a clamp assembly including a fixed jaw having a first end and a second end forming at least one knuckle; a moveable jaw having a first end and a second end forming a pin; and a clamp lever that releasably couples the first end of the fixed jaw with the first end of the moveable jaw; wherein the pin of the moveable jaw is rotatably coupled to the at least one knuckle of the fixed jaw; the pintle lever is rotatably coupled to the fixed jaw of the clamp assembly; and the pintle assembly and the clamp assembly are rotatably and releasably coupled to each other.
