A novel wearable apparatus for stabilizing a firearm is described. The Third Arm apparatus attaches to a tactical vest on one end, and the rail interface system of the firearm on the other end. The arm allows the user to move the firearm with minimum restrictions while providing complete counterbalancing of the firearm, removing the weight of the firearm from the user's arms, thus reducing arm fatigue and improving accuracy. The apparatus enables the use of unconventional weapons systems including high recoil firearms and skeletonized firearms. Third Arm provides a structure to distribute recoil forces and onto which recoil management systems can be placed to aid in shot consistency and reduce discomfort of recoil forces. The apparatus is adjustable for different sized users and different weight firearms.

A hybrid system includes a combination of a robotic arm with a real dog. This combination enables to do a new function that the normal dog cannot do it. This function depends on the type of robotic arm and the kind of the dog. An attachment is very important part in the hybrid system and it is used to physically attach the robotic arm to the real dog. This attachment should be sturdy and strong. This attachment may be a dog harness or the robotic arm may be attached directly to the dog. The robotic arm can be controlled manually or automatically. This hybrid system may be provided with several sensors and/or detecting devices to help in several tasks. This invention is easy to apply with the low cost. This system can be used in different fields.

Disclosed methods, systems, and apparatus provide multiple-position slings and hands-free carrying devices for equipment, hand guns, shoulder weapons, military-style tactical firearms, etc. Systems include adjustably attaching into a garment, a single-point sling with a slider strap and slider for repositioning a detachable lanyard, e.g. to attach a shoulder weapon. Methods for using systems for a single-point sling for a long gun, include holstering the gun supported by a loop of the lanyard detachably attached to the slider in a front-holstering position, e.g. at a user's secondary side under the arm. Embodiments include drawing the long gun forward, the loop of the lanyard supporting the long gun proximate a stock, grip or single-point receiver plate mount of the long gun, and shouldering the gun with the stock against a shoulder, the slider positioned at a shooting position of the slider strap of the single-point sling system.

An adjustable shooting strap preferably includes a weapon interface section, a strap section and a carabiner strap section. The weapon interface section preferably includes a weapon strap, a first interchangeable weapon interface, a first buckle, a second buckle and a male connection buckle. The strap section preferably includes a lengthwise strap, a female detachable buckle and a cam buckle. A hand loop is created in the lengthwise strap for fine adjustment. The female detachable buckle is sized to receive the male connection buckle. The male connection buckle is retained on a first end of the lengthwise strap. The cam buckle is retained on a second end of the lengthwise strap. The carabiner strap section preferably includes a carabiner, a carabiner strap and a second weapon interface. The adjustable shooting strap may be used in many different shooting positions, such as standing kneeling, or sitting.

A support structure for a shield has a frame adapted for connection to a wearer, the frame having an elongated first portion defining a frame axis and adapted for positioning adjacent to the spine of the wearer, the frame having an upper end, a boom connected to the upper end of the frame and having a first boom portion extending away from the frame, and a second boom portion angled with respect to the first boom portion and extending away from the frame axis, the boom having a free end, a cable reel mechanism connected to the frame, a cable having a first end connected to the cable reel mechanism and a free end extending from the free end of the boom and adapted to connect to the shield, and the cable reel mechanism including a biasing facility to exert tension on the cable to provide support for the shield.

A firearm support system includes a receiver that has a back wall comprising a strap slot and a flexible strap extending from the back wall.

Apparatuses, systems and methods of a supportive holder include an elongated body comprising a length extending from a first end to a second end, the elongated body further comprising a cylindrical receiving cavity at the first end configured to receive at least a portion of an elongated rod. Further the supportive holder includes support strap(s) each comprising a respective clip, each respective clip being configured to receive at least a portion of the elongated body, and at least one clip being configured to receive the second end of the elongated body. In addition, the support strap(s) are configured to couple to a user's appendage during use.

This is a mechanism which locks a spring loaded rotating arm in a closed position with a locking pin relative to a fixed arm, then with pushing one mechanical button, the locking pin releases the rotating arm. The arm rotates, and locks at an angle relative to the fixed arm. The relative angle is determined by an adjustable gear with two pins, which allows fine adjustment of the deployed angle. One pin on the gear is used as a stop for the rotating arm, and the second is used to mechanically lock the arm at the determined angle when the mechanical button is released. In the preferred embodiment, the fixed arm is attached permanently or via a quick connector to a handheld product, such as a pistol, and the mechanism is used to deploy and lock into place a forearm brace.

A weapon stabilizing device for stabilizing a weapon during use. The device includes a spool member configured to release and retract an anchor line with rotation of the spool member. A lock member prevents rotation of the spool member in a locked position and allows rotation of the spool member in a released position. Actuation of an activation member switches the lock member from a default position to an activated position. The default position may be the locked position or the released position. When the default position is the locked position, the activated position is the released position. When the default position is the released position, the activated position is the locked position. A spool spring may provide continuous positive rotation of the spool member in the released position. The weapon stabilizing device may be connected to or within a base of a weapon.
