PERIMETER BREACH WARNING ALARM
A perimeter breach warning device includes a main body forming a firing bore therethrough, a holding protrusion at the first firing bore end, a firing pin assembly within and extending out from the firing bore, a primer within the firing bore at the second firing bore end, a safety nozzle, and a trip pin configured to be inserted into the trip pin bore of the shaft such that the spring of the firing pin assembly is compressed, wherein the spring is configured to decompress in response to removal of the trip pin, thereby causing the firing pin assembly to move within the firing bore towards the second firing bore end until the firing pin strikes the primer causing a primer explosion and the external shaft protrusion interfaces with the internal firing bore protrusion causing the firing pin assembly to stop moving towards the second firing bore end.
Small smart weapon and weapon system employing the same
A weapon and weapon system, and methods of manufacturing and operating the same. In one embodiment, the weapon includes a warhead including destructive elements and a guidance section with a seeker configured to guide the weapon to a target. The seeker includes a detector configured to receive a distorted signal impinging on an objective lens from the target, memory configured to store target criteria and a correction map, and a processor configured to provide a correction signal based on the distorted signal, the target criteria and the correction map to guide the weapon to the target.

Lanyard actuated percussion primer ignition mechanism for reserve battery activation
A striker mechanism including: a housing having a first surface; a slider movable in the housing, the slider having a projection or concavity, the slider having a second surface, the first and second surfaces defining an opening for a lanyard; a striker mass movably disposed relative to the housing, the striker mass having another of the projection and the concavity, the striker mass having a striker tip for engaging a primer; and a spring for biasing the striker tip relative to the housing. When the lanyard moves the slider within a first range of motion, the projection engages with the concavity to bias the striker mass towards the primer. When the lanyard moves the slider within a second range of motion, greater than the first range of motion, the projection disengages from the concavity allowing the striker mass to move towards the primer by a biasing force of the spring.
FLASH BANG GRENADE HOOK AND METHOD OF USE
A hook for deploying a pin-and-lever detonation device, such as a flash bang grenade, and a method for use of the hook, is disclosed. The hook includes a base for attaching the hook to the side of a firearm, such as at a hand guard, grip, body, or accessory rail. It further includes an arm extending substantially laterally from the base. A recess is defined between the base and the arm, structured to receive a pull-ring of the pin-and-lever detonation device and provide leverage for a user pulling the pull-ring. A lip is formed at an end of the arm, structured to curve away from the arm and guide a pull-ring of the pin-and-lever detonation device into the recess. The disclosed hook enables an operator to deploy a grenade one-handed while simultaneously keeping his firearm readily available and covering his own person.

Mechanical self-percussion fuze for a non-gyrating ammunition
A mechanical self-percussion fuze for a non-gyrating ammunition includes a firing pin disposed along a central axis and a primer provided in a primer holder. The primer holder is movable about an axis of rotation that is parallel and off-centered with respect to the central axis between a storage position in which the primer is off-centered with respect to the firing pin and an armed position in which the primer is aligned with the firing pin and safety devices coupled to the primer holder in order to keep the fuze in a safe state until at least two mutually independent physical phenomena linked to the firing of the ammunition occur. The fuze has a wind turbine designed to be driven in rotation by the relative movement of the air during the flight of the ammunition and to transmit this rotational movement to the primer holder only after the safety devices have been removed.
