20140305016 | IMPROVISED ADJUSTABLE GUIDE ROD FOR SEMIAUTOMATIC PISTOLS - An improvised guide rod assembly for semiautomatic firearms is provided for adjusting the tensile force on a spring internal to the firearm. The assembly included a guide member distending distally from the firearm's forward components, creates a tension in the mechanical workings of the firearm during discharge, and enhances accuracy, bullet velocity, and defensive functionality. A guide rod positions inside a firearm guide channel, protruding outside the firearm from a distal end. The guide member passes through a similarly sized and dimensioned spring. Tension on the spring transfers to an adjacent firearm slide member, whereby during discharge of the firearm, the slide member meets resistance while in motion. Using the adjustable guide rod to realize spring resistance increases, the velocity of a bullet is improved as is control of the firearm after recoil. The guide rod also serves as a close proximity weapon. | 10-16-2014 |
20140317979 | PULSE RECOILING SYSTEM - A pulse recoiling system located over the barrel portion of a sub-cal weapon. The pulse recoiling system is located above the barrel of the weapon and includes a shortened and modified bolt, a threaded operating rod which screws into the bolt transfer block, and a static buffer housing that contains a recoil spring with a small round spacer on a first end and an off-set pressure cap on a second end. When the trigger is depressed, a hammer strikes a firing pin and a cartridge discharges. The hammer resting against the modified bolt, forward spring tension and length of the operating rod hold the cartridge in chamber for a fraction of a second after discharge. The bolt then cycles rearward, the spent casing is ejected, and the forward buffer spring is compressed by the reward force created by the discharged cartridge. The operating rod compressing the buffer spring restricts the length of travel of the bolt thereby transferring any recoil forward of the rifle over the length of the operating rod, thereby minimizing the recoil felt by a user. The weapon may be a rifle, pistol or other weapon. | 10-30-2014 |

20150040449 | Recoil Reducing Buffer and Stock Adaptor for Firearms - A recoil reducing buffer and stock adaptor having a front portion adapted to fit into and connectively engage with the backplate of an H&K-style rifle and a rear portion comprising an aperture adapted to accept and connectively engage with an AR-15/M16 buffer tube. The adaptor attaches to an H&K-style rifle between the action or receiver and the buttstock and allows the rifle to accept and function with a larger and/or stronger H&K-style rifle buffer than its original factory-installed buffer. The adaptor reduces the recoil of an H&K-style rifle by allowing the rifle to function with a larger and/or stronger H&K-style recoil buffer than its original factory-installed buffer. The adaptor also makes substantially all existing H&K-style rifles compatible with substantially all current and existing H&K-style rifle stocks and AR-style rifle stocks and stock accessories. | 02-12-2015 |

The elongated body has a first end and a second end. The first end may include a handle engaging surface. The handle engaging surface secures against a handle of a pistol. The second end includes a chest stop. The chest stop rests against a user's chest while firing the pistol. Therefore, the chest absorbs some of the recoil of the pistol making the pistol less intimidating. | 11-12-2015 |
20150345881 | RECOIL MITIGATION AND BUTTSTOCK FLOATING SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS - A buffer tube for firearms, including assault rifles, carbines, shotguns, and other rifles is disclosed. The floating buffer tube comprises a recoil mitigation mechanism, including a helical spring or an elastic or viscous energy absorption device, and a buttstock mounting bracket mounted outside the buffer tube. The buttstock mounting bracket can rotate relative to the buffer tube, which changes the axial angle of the buttstock relative to the firearm. The angle can be locked under an expansive force by forcing a bolt or pin into grooves to select the proper axial angle of the buttstock relative to the firearm in the field without the user having to disarm himself to perform the angle change. | 12-03-2015 |
20150377583 | RECOIL REDUCER WHEN SHOOTING BULLET FROM FIREARM - The present invention provides a recoil reducer that reduces the recoil when the bullet is shot from the firearm and the bolt in the machine part is moved backward. By reducing the reaction force applied to the bolt when the bullet is shot, a load applied to the shooter is reduced. Furthermore, hit accuracy is improved by stabilizing the sight, the performance of the firearm itself is not decreased. The recoil when the bullet is shot is reduced by providing a member moving in an opposite direction of a recoil direction of a bolt and providing a transmission mechanism that moves the member in the opposite direction of the recoil direction of the bolt when the bolt is moved in the recoil direction by a reaction force of shooting a bullet. | 12-31-2015 |
20160076835 | Firearm Configuration For Reducing Recoil - Disclosed is a firearm configuration for a handgun.

20160377372 | MOTORIZED WEAPON GYROSCOPIC STABILIZER - A motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer which creates a stabilizing effect for single shot, semi-automatic, and fully automatic weapons. The rotating mass that generates the gyroscopic stabilizing effect can be the rotor of the motor. The motor is designed to allow the mass to rotate around the open core of the motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer. Because of its open core design the motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer allows the fired projectile to pass through it, or be mounted in line with the sighting mechanism allowing the target alignment-line of sight to pass through the motorized weapon gyroscopic stabilizer, or both. | 12-29-2016 |
