A firearm stabilization device is described that can be attached to a firearm to improve, increase, or maintain the stability of a firearm. The firearm stabilization device may include an electric motor configured to rotate a flywheel about an axis of rotation and a power source powering the electric motor. The electric motor, the flywheel, and the power source may be positioned within a housing. The fire arm stabilization device may include an engagement structure positioned on an outer surface of the housing for attaching (releasably or permanently) the firearm stabilization device to a firearm.

A firearm having a butt stock portion and a front stock portion includes a monopod assembly movable in a first linear movement between a stowed configuration inside said butt stock and a deployed position substantially outside said butt stock portion and a second rotational movement designed to refine a length adjustment. The firearm includes a bipod assembly pivotally movable between a storage configuration adjacent and in-line with the front stock portion and a use or spayed configuration supporting the firearm framework.

A pistol chassis is disclosed which may include a lower housing, an upper housing, a proximal enclosure, a distal sleeve, and a proximal accessory. The distal sleeve, lower housing, and upper housing may be secured together to form a tubular member for receiving a pistol. The lower housing further may include a distal segment, a proximal segment and an intermediate segment. The distal segment may include a pistol frame receptacle and a trigger guard enclosure. The proximal accessory may be a folding stock. The pistol chassis may house a pistol to produce a firearm apparatus.

A self-stabilizing small arm having a barrel assembly rigidly connected to a stock assembly. The small arm includes at least one shooter interface surface and a stabilization assembly controlling the relative position of the shooter interface surface and the barrel assembly or stock assembly. The stabilization assembly includes (i) at least one movement sensor; (ii) at least one actuator; and (iii) a controller using signals from the movement sensor to operate the actuator in order to compensate for unintended movement of the small arm.

A system is disclosed for extending a recoil impulse of a gun. The system elongates the recoil impulse to spread the recoil energy over time and reduce felt (i.e., peak) recoil force. Although the system adds weight to a gun, the system reduces felt recoil beyond what is possible by simply adding weight to a gun by using an inertial weight on a spring to absorb and release energy. To prevent shaking, the inertial weight system is tuned to a gun so that the inertial weight hits a pair of stops at certain points in the gun's discharge action cycle.
