FIREARM HAVING AN INTEGRAL COMPENSATOR
A Glock compensator integral with a barrel, and a slide assembly allow escaping gases to dampen recoil associated with firing a Glock firearm. The Glock barrel is removed from the front of the firearm allowing for the integrated compensator at the front of the firearm. Various features, including a lock design, debris port, swept back side ports, height offset, nose ring design and mass-reducing rear cutout, result in an efficient and effective integrated compensator suitable for 4.sup.th and 5.sup.th generation Glock firearms. The compensator and barrel may be fabricated from the same piece of billet. A pair of side rails may be positioned and configured to slidably receive a slide assembly.
Adjustable magazine well
A rifle includes a magazine well, a barrel, an exo-bolt, and a rear magazine support. The barrel is detachably coupled to the magazine well. The barrel includes a forward barrel portion on an end of the barrel opposite the magazine well. The exo-bolt is configured to travel along an exterior of the barrel. The rear magazine support is coupled to the magazine well and opposite the barrel. The rear magazine support is configured to come forward toward the barrel and be secured in a plurality of distances from the barrel to adjust a length of the magazine well.
Firearm suppressor mount with fouling reamer
A suppressor mount device can include a first end having a barrel coupling feature adapted to couple the suppressor mount device to the barrel of a firearm. The device can further include a second end oriented opposite the first end along a bore axis and a suppressor coupling feature adapted to receive and retain a firearm suppressor. The device can further include a bore forming a void along the bore axis within the suppressor mount device, the bore adapted to allow passage of a projectile along the bore axis from the first end to the second end. The device can further include a reaming feature formed on an outer surface of the second end adapted to engage an inner surface of the firearm suppressor. The reaming feature can include a channel which is at least partially oriented non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the bore axis.

Firearm muzzle brake
Provided herein are muzzle brakes, firearms, and methods for manufacturing the same. A muzzle brake for attachment to a muzzle end of a firearm includes a body defining a first end that engages a muzzle end of the firearm, a second end opposite the first end, and an axis extending therebetween. The body further defines one or more openings intersecting the axis to form a channel extending between the first end and the second end along the axis. The body further defines a first port extending from the channel to an exterior surface of the body and a second port extending from the channel to the exterior surface of the body between the first port and the second end. In operation, the first port directs gas from the channel to an external environment of the muzzle brake that disrupts gas directed by the second port from the channel.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for recoil mitigation
The present invention provides a novel gas impingement and recoil mitigation system for firearms that includes separate systems that reduce recoil, muzzle rise, and user fatigue and includes a system that is of variable size to match the size and caliber of firearm to which the system will attach. The system can attach to a variety of firearms through an appropriately sized standard barrel connector. As propellant gas is redirected through a ported barrel, the force of the over-pressure wave caused by the propellant blast impinges on a piston-like weight-and-spring mechanism, which thrusts forward with a force that is opposite in direction from the typical backward force that causes muzzle rise and recoil. Numerous additional aspects are disclosed.

Drone payload—energetic weapons pod
A lightweight energetic weapons pod 2 that integrates to unmanned aerial systems 1 that enables the operator the ability to engage targets without flight degradation. The device utilizes an energetic weapons pod 2 that may be reloaded to support sustained combat operations. The ability of the device to function as intended is based on explosive mitigation compression zones and recoilless configurations that allow drone survivability during detonation events.
Fixed-to-Tilted Silencer Adaptor for Three-Lug Attachments
A fixed-to-tilted silencer adaptor for three-lug attachments enables the use of tilting barrel gun silencers or fixed non-moving barrel gun silencers with different guns of the same caliber. The present invention enables users to utilize a gun silencer with the desired gun even if the gun silencer does not match the design of the gun. To do so, the present invention may comprise a recoil booster and a three-lug adaptor. The recoil booster is designed to accommodate the movement of a tilting barrel while facilitating the connection between the gun silencer and the gun's barrel. The recoil booster also securely receives the three-lug adaptor to facilitate the quick attachment of the recoil booster to the gun's barrel. The three-lug adaptor is designed to enable the quick attachment of the recoil booster to the gun's barrel without interfering with the movement of the gun's barrel when connected to a tilted barrel.
