Abstract

"ARMA DE FOGO E MéTODO DE OPERAR UMA ARMA DE FOGO". Compreendendo uma pequena arma de fogo (10) inclui um gatilho, um conjunto de cano (11) e controles de disparo eletrónico montados num punho (12). O conjunto do cano (11) inclui uma pluralidade de projéteis dispostos axialmente e cargas discretas de propelente para propelir os respectivos projéteis. A pequena arma de fogo (10) inclui um feixe de laser (15) termina num alvo (16) para prover uma leitura instantânea da distância do alvo para ajustar a velocidade de disparos para conseguir um espalhamento desejado do impacto. O espalhamento do impacto resulta da ação de recuo da pequena arma de fogo (10) incluindo a ascensão do cano. Um único evento de disparo ativa o gatilho e a pequena arma de fogo (10) dispara um número pré-determinado de projéteis a uma velocidade selecionada para prover um espalhamento desejado de impacto no alvo (16). Onde o alvo (16) é uma pessoa, tipicamente dois ou três projéteis são disparados, e a velocidade de disparo está entre 10.000 e 60.000 tiros por minuto, dependendo da distância do alvo."FIREARMS AND METHOD OF OPERATING A FIREARMS". Comprising a small firearm (10) includes a trigger, a barrel assembly (11) and a handle mounted electronic firing controls (12). The barrel assembly 11 includes a plurality of axially disposed projectiles and discrete propellant loads to propel the respective projectiles. The small firearm (10) includes a laser beam (15) terminating in a target (16) to provide an instantaneous reading of the target distance to adjust the rate of fire to achieve a desired impact spread. Impact spreading results from the recoil action of the small firearm (10) including the rise of the barrel. A single firing event activates the trigger and the small gun (10) fires a predetermined number of projectiles at a selected speed to provide a desired scatter of impact on the target (16). Where target 16 is a person, typically two or three projectiles are fired, and the firing speed is between 10,000 and 60,000 rounds per minute, depending on the distance from the target.
