A combined firearm receiver and rail includes a handguard rail and a receiver housing disposed within the handguard rail. The handguard rail includes one of a takedown lug clearance slot, a handguard magazine port, a handguard continuous rail, a handguard ejection port, an attachment location, accessory attachment points, a handguard charging handle latch retaining slot, a charging handle housing, a charging handle guideway, a bolt catch clearance slot, a barrel cavity, a receiver cavity, an exhaust port, and a handguard section. In one variation, the handguard section does not come into physical contact with a barrel or a barrel nut of the firearm.

A pistol conversion kit may be constructed and arranged for converting a pistol to a bull-pup format rifle by attaching an elongated barrel to the pistol. The pistol conversion kit may include a two-part chassis defining a compartment into which the pistol and elongated barrel may be seated behind a handle and trigger guard integrated within the chassis such that the pistol is located behind the pistol conversion kit trigger thereby positioning the pistol in a bull-pup configuration within the chassis. The pistol conversion kit may include a number of sub-assemblies for operating the pistol seated within the chassis and may further include a barrel safety system arranged for preventing use of the pistol conversion kit trigger unless a properly sized elongation barrel is attached to the pistol.

A blaster for shooting projectiles that includes a housing that defines a housing interior, and a variable velocity barrel assembly positioned in the housing interior. The variable velocity barrel assembly includes a barrel that defines a barrel axis and a barrel interior. The barrel includes an exit opening at a distal end thereof. At least a first opening communicates the barrel interior with an exterior of the barrel. The first opening is defined through a side wall of the barrel. A slider member that includes a cylindrical portion that surrounds the barrel is movable axially along the barrel between a maximum velocity position where the cylindrical portion covers the first opening and a minimum velocity position where the slider member does not cover the first opening.

An armorer tool system for distributing the applied torque over a very wide surface, associated with assembling and disassembling primarily the barrel and the lower receiver extension of an AR platform firearms, independently of the specifications of their barrel extension, lower receiver and upper receiver external features, and magazine well geometry; and methods of using the tools are also disclosed.

The invention relates to quick acting interfaces that allow for easier transportation and maintenance of precision rifles. Embodiments include an interface with an engaging segment and a receiving segment that engage one another and lock together. The engaging segment may have a series of connective bearings that fit into indentations inside the receiving segment. Embodiments allow a firearm to be modulated such that a barrel of the firearm may be disassembled without the need of any specialized equipment and reassembled without impacting the firearm's accuracy or reliability. Embodiments are scalable such that multiple interfaces can be used to adjust the total length of the firearm barrel.

The invention relates to a firearm and is a device for attaching the barrel to the receiver, for which the breech attachment unit is made in the form of a compressible clamp connection, the slot of which is located in the upper part of the receiver, and the upper part of the receiver itself allows to install and fix the sights on it.

A handheld measurement, search and safety device that includes a main frame having a handle, an extendable member that slides outwards from the main frame in measured increments, and an interchangeable support brace comprising either a buttstock or arm brace to allow responders to use the extendable member to survey hazardous materials at a distance, or a one-handed configuration used to survey hazard materials in confined areas. The handheld measurement, search and safety device includes a plurality of picatinny rails disposed on both the main frame and extendable member to removably mount a host of different field survey instruments and/or tactical accessories for detecting, locating, identifying, measuring, or sampling hazardous materials including radioactive materials or toxic chemicals.

A rifle includes a magazine well, a barrel, and an exo-bolt. The barrel is configured to be detachably coupled to the magazine well. The barrel includes a forward barrel portion on an end of the barrel opposite the magazine well. The exo-bolt is configured to travel along an exterior of the barrel.
