089100410 | MULTIPLE BARREL GUNS | 9 |
20100288111 | METHOD AND LAUNCHING APPARATUS FOR PROTECTION OF AN OBJECT AGAINST A THREAT, IN PARTICULAR A MISSILE, AS WELL AS MUNITION - The present invention separates, absolutely, the functions of camouflage and jamming. This allows the use of a small-caliber munition ( | 11-18-2010 |
20110030541 | Trainable launcher - A launcher comprising multiple barrels arranged on a rotatable plinth, each barrel configured such that its longitudinal axis can be moved through an arc from a first position where the axis is moveable through a plane substantially orthogonal to the plane in which the plinth and barrel assembly rotates to a second position and wherein one or more of the barrels can be moved independently of others carried on the plinth. | 02-10-2011 |
20110146483 | MULTIPLE-BAY EJECTION DEVICE - An ejectable device is provided having multiple ejection bays. The ejectable device includes an impulse cartridge having multiple charges that are independently activatable. The ejectable device further includes an orientation adapter that allows reliable connectivity between the impulse cartridge and a signal source. | 06-23-2011 |
20140076133 | EXPLOSIVE DEVICE DISRUPTOR SYSTEM WITH SELF CONTAINED LAUNCHER CARTRIDGES - A disruptor system includes a plurality of launcher cartridges each including a casing having a closed rearward end and an open forward end defining a cavity. A propellant and payload are carried within the cavity proximate the rearward end. A mounting base is included, having a breach portion defining a back surface and a plurality of barrel portions terminating at a forward end. Each barrel portion defines a bore, the bore open at the forward end. Each bore receives one of the plurality of launcher cartridges. A firing mechanism is coupled to each of the plurality of cartridges. | 03-20-2014 |
20150059565 | GUN BARREL MANUFACTURING PROCESS - Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing two or more gun barrels, the method comprising: machining ( | 03-05-2015 |
20150107446 | TRAINABLE LAUNCHER - A launcher comprising multiple barrels arranged on a rotatable plinth, each barrel configured such that its longitudinal axis can be moved through an arc from a first position where the axis is moveable through a plane substantially orthogonal to the plane in which the plinth and barrel assembly rotates to a second position and wherein one or more of the barrels can be moved independently of others carried on the plinth. | 04-23-2015 |
20150354920 | UNIVERSAL TUBE LAUNCHED MUNITIONS SYSTEM - A universal tube launched munitions system has a launcher base having an array of a plurality of initiator stations, first and second cassettes each having a mounting facility operable for releasable connection to the launcher base, each of the cassettes having a plurality of barrels, the barrels of the first cassette been axially registered with the first quantity of the initiator stations, and the barrels of the second cassette been axially registered with a different second quantity of the initiator stations. The barrels of the first cassette may be axially registered with all of the initiator stations. The barrels of the second cassette may be axially registered with a subset of the initiator stations the barrels of the first cassette are axially registered with. The barrels of the first cassette may have a different diameter than the barrels of the second cassette. | 12-10-2015 |
20150362275 | STACKED ORDNANCE SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A stacked ordnance device provides a disposable and optionally non-reusable projectile weapon. A gun barrel can be formed by holding two half barrels together such that separating the halves exposes the length of the bore. Stacked ordnance devices have multiple projectiles, seals, and charges positioned sequentially in the gun barrel. A controller can electronically trigger igniters that ignite the charges and fire the projectiles. The device can have more than one gun barrel and the gun barrels can be made from plastic. Multi-barrel devices can have gun barrels arranged radially around and damped to a backbone. | 12-17-2015 |
20160018187 | MODULAR SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED SAFETY MECHANISM FOR FIRING NON-LETHAL PROJECTILES FOR CROWD CONTROL - A system for firing shell-cased projectiles including multiple barrels and a breech assembly, which includes multiple detonators each aligned to a corresponding one of the barrels. Each detonator may include a plunger coupled to a firing pin, and a solenoid for driving the plunger and firing pin toward the corresponding barrel upon firing, and an actuator-driven mechanical safety device including a slide plate switchable between first and second lateral positions. The slide plate may include multiple entrapment pins, each corresponding to one of the detonators. When the slide plate is in the first lateral position, each of the entrapment pins are positioned so as to obstruct movement of the plunger in the corresponding detonator, thereby rendering the corresponding detonator inoperable to fire eve if the corresponding solenoid is actuated. On the other hand, when the slide plate is in the second lateral position, each of the detonators is operable to fire when the corresponding solenoid is actuated. | 01-21-2016 |
