Systems and methods for firearm aim-stabilization
A firearm having an aim-compensation system. The firearm includes a barrel and is configured to fire a projectile. The firearm further includes a sensor disposed on the firearm that determines an orientation of the firearm. The firearm further includes a control unit that determines an intended point-of-aim of the firearm and an actual expected point-of-aim of the firearm based on the orientation of the firearm, and the control unit determines a differential of the intended point-of-aim and the actual expected point-of-aim. The firearm further includes a muzzle device arranged on the barrel which is in communication with the control unit, wherein, when the projectile is fired, the muzzle device directs a gas toward the projectile in an amount and direction based on the differential determined by the control unit so as to exert an aerodynamic force on the projectile to alter the trajectory of the projectile towards the intended point-of-aim.

Sound suppressor
Noise suppressors for firearms are disclosed, having a cylindrical body extending along a longitudinal direction, a chamber having an annular cylindrical shape, and a suppression core in the chamber. The chamber has an outer diameter defined by an inner surface of the body, an inner diameter forming a center bore, and a length along the longitudinal direction. The suppression core has a triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) structure. A wall thickness or unit cell size of the TPMS structure may vary along longitudinal or radial directions. The suppression core may have an inner portion and an outer portion, where at a transition between the inner and outer portions, a plurality of first openings in the inner portion and a plurality of second openings in the outer portion have a parameter that matches in size with each other, and the first and second openings are approximately aligned with each other.

SILENCER FOR MOUNTING ON A GUN BARREL
A silencer for mounting on a gun barrel has a silencer housing for at least partially completely enclosing the gun barrel. A jacket pipe is integrated in the silencer housing for encasing the gun barrel. A muzzle brake is formed to hold the jacket pipe in a centered manner in the silencer housing. The silencer also includes at least one device for deflecting and/or cooling a gas that is produced when a shot is fired. A clamping device is provided for form-fitting and/or force-fitting fixing to the gun barrel.
FIREARM SUPPRESSOR WITH GAS-ACTUATED VALVE
Methods and systems are provided for firearm sound suppressors. In one example, a suppressor comprises an outer housing, a projectile entrance, a projectile exit, a gas-actuated valve extending from the projectile entrance toward the projectile exit within an interior of the outer housing, and a projectile opening of the gas-actuated valve arranged along a projectile path between the projectile entrance and the projectile exit.
Silencer
The present invention relates to a silencer for a firearm, where the silencer comprises an attachment part and a muzzle part, where at least one intermediate module element is arranged between said attachment part and muzzle part, where each of said attachment part, at least one intermediate module element and muzzle part comprises an outer sleeve portion which outer sleeve portion form a part of an outer surface of the silencer, said at least one intermediate module element further comprises an inner sleeve portion and a core portion, which inner sleeve portion form a part of an inner surface of the silencer, said core portion comprising a throughgoing bore, said outer sleeve portion and inner sleeve portion being connected through a radial part, said radial part being provided with a plurality of throughgoing openings around its periphery, wherein, when the silencer is assembled, said outer sleeve portions and inner sleeve portions form a volume defining a first passage for exhaust gases, and said inner sleeve portions and core portions form a volume defining a second passage for exhaust gases.
Firearm muzzle attachment mechanism
A firearm muzzle attachment mechanism includes a muzzle device; a tapering adapter having an outer tapering end configured to connect with the muzzle device; a hollow adapter having an internally threaded portion and configured to receive the muzzle device; a muzzle attachment having an inner tapering end configured to connect with the outer tapering end of the tapering adapter; and a means for providing tension being received in a receiving slot formed on the muzzle attachment.
FIREARM ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENT SYSTEMS
A system and method for attaching a muzzle attachment to a firearm. The muzzle attachment has an attachment body that is defined by an inner surface having a bore along the central axis of the muzzle attachment. The attachment body may include a threaded portion extending a length along the inner surface configured to engage a threaded portion of the firearm. The attachment body includes a lock that is configurable from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration. In the extended configuration, the lock is configured to securely engage a recess of the firearm. By threading the muzzle attachment onto the firearm and engaging the lock with the recess, the muzzle attachment system resists removal of the muzzle attachment from the firearm. The muzzle attachment may include vents. The muzzle attachment system preferably is indexed relative to the firearm for proper operation of the muzzle attachment during engagement of the lock.
Adjustable tuning device
An adjustable tuning device includes an externally threaded mounting member having a base defining an aperture and a tuning weight having internal threads configured to mate with the externally threaded mounting member. The aperture can be configured to receive a forward portion of a gun such that a threaded protrusion extends forward of the base. The mounting member can have a rear surface configured to abut a forward-facing shoulder of the gun. The tuning weight is rotatable about the mounting member to move in a range of axial positions with respect to the mounting member and a barrel axis. The mounting member can have a skirt extending from the base. The mounting member can have an external diameter at an externally threaded portion, and the tuning weight can have a rear portion with an internal diameter less than the external diameter of the mounting member.
