A test fixture for testing firearms or ammunition includes a base, a block, and a firing pin. The base has a lateral channel defining a front upright and a rear upright. The front upright is configured to support a firearm barrel. The block is rotatable within the lateral channel between an open position and a closed position. The open position provides user access to the firearm barrel. The firing pin is housed in the block. The closed position of the block aligns the firing pin with the firearm barrel.

An external firing mechanism for a muzzle loaded mortar system incorporates a drop fire mode, a lever fire mode and a safe mode. The firing mechanism is easy to assemble or replace and does not require an adjustment procedure when mounting to the mortar system. The firing mechanism utilizes bearing balls as a tripping device which transfers potential energy in a compressed spring to kinetic energy of a firing pin oriented orthogonal to that spring.

The invention provides remote trigger release for firearms without requiring assembly to said firearms and providing immediate disengagement when the single user discontinues a mechanically required interaction. Trigger release is achieved by means of a handheld pneumatic pump that pressurizes an expandable bladder within a conduit-connected handheld hinged apparatus thus providing two opening points of opposite force that can be applied to the trigger and the inside of trigger guard when said bladder is pressurized. Automatic disengagement of the firearm is achieved by means of a semi-rigid section of fluid conduit oriented such that it can simultaneously serve as a spring to remove said apparatus from the vicinity of said trigger anytime said user ceases interaction. Assertive and continuous user interaction is required by adding a branch off of the pump outlet which must be plugged by the user's thumb in order to build or maintain pressure within the bladder.

This invention relates to mobile turret adapted for use with lightweight semi-automatic or automatic weapons, said mobile turret comprising: a foldable base platform, wherein said foldable base platform comprises a seat and a tripod; a collapsible turret arrangement, wherein collapsible turret arrangement comprises a plurality of lever systems for adjusting the height, a first handle control, a second handle control, a rod connector, a trigger connector, and a reload magazine slide; an expandable periscope, wherein said expandable periscope comprises movable tube part for adjusting the height of said expandable periscope; and a holster in which different light weight semi-automatic or automatic weapon can be attached. The mobile turret has many advantages such as easy to carry, light weight, quickly assembled/operable, the operator can hide behind the protection or in the trenches, and will increase firepower to overwhelm and destroy the enemy.

A device for driving mechanical safety systems. The device contains a housing in which at least one moving piston is arranged. The piston is connected to a first toothed rack and the first toothed rack is operatively connected to a pinion. A second toothed rack is arranged for movement in the housing. As a result, the second toothed rack is displaced in the opposite direction to the movement of the piston. The device has a locking lever and a shift claw. The shift claw is mounted on the second toothed rack and is arranged such that, on movement of the second toothed rack, the shift claw can actuate the locking lever. A locking bush secures the securing shaft to be driven. The locking bush is initially transferred to an unlocked position on movement of the toothed racks and is returned to a locked position on conclusion of the movement.
