A test system is disclosed that has a chassis, a throwing mechanism that is located at an upper part of the chassis onto which at least one weight is attached and provides throwing the weight attached thereon, a base that is located at a lower part of the chassis and onto which a weight is thrown by the throwing mechanism, a control unit that provides throwing the weigh through the throwing mechanism, and a position adjuster is located on the base or chassis and provides aligning the weight thrown onto the base on the base.

A projectile for ammunition includes a projectile interior. A rare earth metal or a compound thereof may be provided within the projectile interior. The compound of the rare earth metal may be an oxide thereof.

Digital Recording is provided using SWO technology wherein a microprocessor is located in a pistol and a single wire EEPROM is mounted on each cartridge used by the pistol. Power and data can be sent over a single wire from the microprocessor to the single wire EEPROM to communicate information about the pistol, such as the serial number, make, and model of the firearm.

A bullet compressing device for creating marks imparted by a barrel of a gun on a bullet, has: a first member; a second member spaced from the first member by a gap, a dimension of the gap selected to correspond to at least a length of the bullet, the first and second members slidingly receivable within the barrel of the gun; a biasing member in engagement with the first and second members, the biasing member having a compressed configuration in which the first and second members are biased toward one another thereby decreasing the dimension of the gap, one of the first and second members engageable by an actuator, the first and second members and the bullet received therebetween movable relative to the barrel thereby imparting marks on the bullet by the barrel upon actuation of the actuator.

A system that creates an environment (e.g., ecosystem) for using, transmitting, and storing data from a CEW and other equipment. The information from a CEW includes a log maintained by the CEW. The log may include information related to the operation, maintenance, software, and deployment units used by the CEW. The information may be used alone or in combination with other information received and stored by an evidence management system for managing inventory, generating use-of-force reports, incident reports, and/or providing information related to equipment, such as a CEW, to the supplier of the equipment. Sources of information provided to an evidence management system includes equipment suppliers, CEWs, other cooperating equipment, records management systems of an agency, a dispatch system of an agency, and third parties. A CEW or other equipment may also receive information for storing in the log.

A memory check ASIC for fuzes and safety and arming (S&A) devices. The memory check ASIC may comprise: an ASIC, data line, clock line, shutdown line, and reset line. The ASIC may operatively couple to a microcontroller having a flash-based memory and may comprise: a digital logic for verifying a calculated checksum based on contents of the flash-based memory. A clock signal along with the calculated checksum may be transmitted to the ASIC via the clock line and data line, respectively. A shutdown signal may be transmitted from the ASIC to the microcontroller via the shutdown line in response to the verification of the calculated checksum by the digital logic. A reset signal may synchronize sampling of the calculated checksum and may be latched by flip-flop circuits of the digital logic for a predetermined number of clock cycles.

A method and device for ascertaining the temperature of a propellant charge (22) and a method and device for joining together propellant charge modules (2) to form a propellant charge (22). The method and device for ascertaining the temperature of a propellant charge (22) includes at least temporarily arranging a sensor head (4) which is movable with respect to the propellant charge (22) in a cavity (7) of the propellant charge (22); and ascertaining the temperature of the propellant charge (22) at least while the sensor head (4) is arranged in the cavity (7) of the propellant charge (22). The propellant charge modules (2) are positioned between stops (9) and are joined together by movement of at least one of the stops toward the other.
