The present disclosure presents a barrel assembly for a firearm. The barrel assembly includes a barrel having an internal bore and an external surface, and a recoil spring lug affixed to an outside surface of the barrel. The barrel assembly also includes a slide moveably mounted relative to the barrel, and a recoil spring biased on the recoil spring lug and the slide.

The barrel of a pistol, specifically in a short recoil operated pistol, is comprised of multiple bearings surfaces comprised of cams and lugs that allow the pistol to function. The surfaces mechanically delay the pistol enough to allow the pistol to reliably function in the manner of an automatic firearm, chambering a round at the end of each cycle of operation. A barrel that locates a forward lug positioned horizontally in front of the trigger guard of the pistol with side cams that are shallow and interact in a way to provide the pistol with a robust and consistent lock up from shot to shot to provide an advantage in the function of the firearm.

A weapon for firing cased telescoped (CT) ammunition includes a barrel, a chamber member and a carrier assembly. The chamber member defines a chamber for a CT round for firing, and translates between a firing position aligned with the barrel and an ejection/loading position. The chamber member is spring-biased toward the firing position. Dual-feed structure provides for both a magazine mode as well as a belt feed mode of operation.

An automatic or semiautomatic rifle having a short-stroke action with multiple firing chambers which are arranged radially around an axis of rotation parallel to the firing bore. The multiple firing chambers reciprocate rearward and forward while the assembly is indexed through a loading, firing, and ejection sequence. Ammunition cartridges are inserted into the forward end of the chambers and subsequently positioned against the rear of a barrel of the rifle for firing.
