Ammunition storage and feeding system for light weapons that facilitates a continuous loading of the weapon, thereby relieving the user from multiple magazine replacements, and reducing potential weapon stoppages, thus providing more reliable and significantly uninterruptable use of the weapon with respect to operating the weapon with conventional magazines. According to an embodiment of the invention, the system is configured to automatically receive interlinked cartridges from a carrying device (e.g., a backpack or other convenient device harnessed to the user's body) through a flexible or semi-flexible leading means, to successively extract the cartridges from the linking arrangement and to successively feed each extracted cartridge into a dedicated magazine in a First In First Out (FIFO) manner.

A magazine simulator that is removably inserted into a gun, the box magazine including a switch that is articulated with a trigger mechanism of the gun, and a tracker interface coupled to the box magazine, the tracker interface including an electrical connection interface with a virtual reality tracker that communicates with a virtual reality computing device, wherein the electrical connection interface transmits electrical signals to the virtual reality tracker based on articulations of the switch.

Disclosed is a device for facilitating disassembly of a firearm and release of a magazine removably attached to the firearm. The device comprising a fulcrum configured to be attached to the firearm, wherein the firearm comprises an upper receiver, a lower receiver, a rear takedown pin and a magazine release mechanism, wherein the rear takedown pin is configured to secure the upper receiver to the lower receiver, wherein the magazine release mechanism is configured to release the magazine from the firearm based on actuation of the magazine release mechanism. Further, the device includes a lever arm configured to operationally engage with the fulcrum, wherein a first part of the lever arm is operationally engaged with the rear takedown pin, wherein a second part of the lever arm is operationally engaged with the magazine release mechanism, wherein actuation of the lever arm displaces the rear takedown pin and actuates the magazine release mechanism, wherein displacement of the rear takedown pin results in disassembly of the upper receiver from the lower receiver, wherein disassembly of the upper receiver from the lower receiver occurs prior to actuation of the magazine release mechanism.

A crowd control projectile includes a payload carrier, an incapacitating agent inside the payload carrier, and an activating mechanism for activating the incapacitating agent. The activating mechanism includes a sensor and a timer. The timer delays the activation until a predetermined delay after the sensor senses that the projectile has been launched. Alternatively, the activating mechanism includes a receiver for receiving an activation signal after the projectile has been launched. Preferably, the projectile has the shape of a clay pigeon. A launcher of such a projectile includes a communication mechanism for transmitting a timing signal or an activation signal to the projectile and an arm for launching the projectile by direct contact. To control a crowd, the projectile is launched over the crowd by direct contact with a solid arm and the activating mechanism is used to activate the incapacitating agent when the projectile is above the crowd.

A tactical combat rifle includes a two-part, bolt carrier. The upper part of the bolt carrier rides on rails formed in an upper receiver while the lower part of the bolt carrier, although attached to the upper part and moving with it, engages no supporting surfaces. A piston, driven by combustion gases from a regulatable gas block assembly, strikes the upper bolt carrier in the center of its mass to propel it rearward. The barrel is threaded to a removable barrel extension and secured to the upper receiver. A non-reciprocating charging handle is located far forward and accessible from either side of the upper receiver so the user does not have to lower the rifle from the shoulder or take eyes off the target. Combustion debris is kept away from the lower receiver and bolt so operation is cleaner and cycling rates of fire steadier.

The invention relates to a hand-held firearm and is a firearm having a cutout on the lateral surface of the receiver, in to which a removable magazine is placed, which makes it possible to bring the breech end of the barrel closer to the trigger, making it possible to shorten the length of the weapon. The invention is aimed at reducing the size of the firearm, which improves the operational characteristics of the firearm.

A conducted electrical weapon may interchangeably receive a plurality of magazines. A magazine may be releasably engaged with a magazine bay of the conducted electrical weapon. Engagement of a magazine with the magazine bay may expose a bottom surface of the magazine. Each magazine may comprise a plurality of firing tubes. A magazine may be configured to launch at least one electrode from at least one firing tube of the plurality of firing tubes. A control circuit may be configured to provide an ignition signal to less than all of the plurality of firing tubes. A first pair of firing tubes may be oriented to achieve a minimum electrode spread at a first range. A second pair of firing tubes may be oriented to achieve a minimum electrode spread at a second range. The plurality of firing tubes may be arranged in an array comprising a column of firing tubes.
