Firearm bolt assemblies and firearms including the same are described. In embodiments the firearm bolt assemblies are configured to localize compressive forces applied during a transition from an initial position to a firing position to a first cam system on one side of the firearm bolt assembly, and to localize compressive forces applied during a transition from the firing position to the initial position to a second cam system another side of the firearm bolt assembly. Localizing the forces in that manner enables the use of a first cam system that is relatively robust compared to the second cam system.

A striking mechanism for triggering a firing pin of an externally or self-powered weapon that has a breech. The striking mechanism including a kinematic mechanism having a trigger rocker, a safety device and a release. The trigger rocker acts on the safety device such that the release functionally interacts with a striking hammer. The striking hammer having a telescopic pushrod. A spring mounted around the telescopic pushrod is tensioned when the breech is advanced and a catching edge of the release engages under a catching edge of the striking hammer.

A weapon which has a modular design. The weapon is subdivided into weapon-specific modular assemblies which are designed as carrier units of the components. The modular assemblies include a weapon housing into which a breech system of the weapon and a striking mechanism is provided, a weapon cradle that connects with the weapon housing, and a weapon barrel module. The modular assemblies are connected to each other by rails and guides, by binders and holders, by pins, or by bolts and quick release fasteners.

A corner shot firearm comprises one or more clamp, a trigger actuator, a front grip, an accessory trigger, a pivot stud and an aim control wheel. The clamp includes a first mounting point disposed at a front end of the clamp, wherein the first mounting point is configured to mount a secondary firearm. Additionally, the trigger actuator is connected to the first mounting point. The front grip is attached to a rear end of the clamp. The accessory trigger is connected to the front grip such that the accessory trigger is actuatable by a finger of the human hand holding the front grip. Additionally, the pivot stud is connected to the first mounting point. Further, the aim control wheel is connected to the first mounting point.

Systems, devices, apparatus and methods for providing a semi-automatic rifle with ammunition magazine, having a docking port/station for allowing a semi-automatic pistol to be inserted. The trigger on the pistol can be used to fire the rifle and use the rifle ammunition. When the rifle ammunition is depleted, the pistol can be removed and separately fired using its' own ammunition.

A firearm synchronized discharge device for facilitating a synchronized discharge of two or more firearms are described together with associated systems, firearms and methods. The device includes an actuator for engaging with a movable trigger of a first firearm, a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a force applied to the trigger and a first controller operatively coupled to the sensor and to the actuator. The actuator is configurable between a first configuration that prevents movement of the trigger toward a firearm-discharge position of the trigger, and a second configuration that permits movement of the trigger toward the firearm-discharge position of the trigger. When the force meets a criterion and the one or more other firearms are ready for discharge, the actuator is caused to transition from the first configuration to the second configuration to permit actuation of the trigger and discharge of the firearm.

A gun frame comprising one or more regions to which a non-lethal (e.g., a flashlight or laser sight) or less-lethal component (e.g., tear gas, pepper spray, or an electrical weapon) may be attached is disclosed. The gun frame may also support a dual-trigger system. A gun comprising the disclosed gun frame with the dual triggering system comprises one trigger which fires a traditional gun's payload, and a second trigger which causes a non-lethal or less-lethal component to fire, while blocking the accidental firing of the traditional payload. Most embodiments of the gun comprising the disclosed frame also have a rechargeable battery, preferably mounted on the gun's magazine, which powers those components requiring electricity.
