Description
March 30, 1937.
ferqyl Cro sky,
Patented Mar. 30, 1937 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4 Claims.
The present invention relates to fire arms, especially useful for military purposes, the object being to provide means whereby the usual rifle of long range is equipped for effective operation in such 5 close quarters as makes the rifle in common practice useless, or in other words where an adversary gets beyond the end of the rifle in an endeavor to close in and start a hand-to-hand combat with the holder of such rifle.
In the accompanying drawing:
The figure is a side elevation of a standard type of rifle equipped with the novel protective means.
It is believed to be unnecessary to describe the rifle in detail as it is well known and may be modifled in various particulars. The stock is shown at l and has the extension 2 carrying the rifle barrel 3. The lock mechanism is indicated generally at 4.
The only structural modification of the rifle is in the said extension 2, which may be enlarged at an intermediatepoint by having spaced dependent portions 5 and 6. In this enlargement is mounted a pistol. As with the rifle, the pistol may be of any standard or desired character. It includes a barrel '1, which extends through the extension 6, and a magazine 8 which is substantially similar to the usual hand grip. The lock, which may be of any desired type, includes the usual trigger 9, the latter being enclosed by a guard It.
The outstanding feature of the invention resides in the fact that the pistol mechanism is so arranged and mounted that the barrel 1 is at an angle, preferably about 45 degrees to the main barrel 3 of the rifle, and its discharge end is at some distance in rear of the discharge end of the barrel 3.
With this construction the rifle can be used in the ordinary well known manner for operation within its range. But if an adversary gets beyond the end of the barrel 3 in an endeavor to grapple with his opponent, the rifle can be brought to a substantially port arms position and the holder thereof is then in a position to grasp the pistol. The rifle therefore becomes in the nature of a guard and at the same time acts as effective holding means by which the pistol can be employed with the rifle barrel completely out of the way in using the pistol.
As it is well known that soldiers are trained not only in marksmanship, but for close fighting, and indeed in hand-to-hand struggles, this invention constitutes defensive means against the latter type of offense.
From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art without further description, and it will be understood that various 5 changes in the size, shape, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
What I claim is: 10
1. A fire arm including a stock and main barrel, said stock extending along the main barrel and having a depending enlargement on its front portion, and a pistol mounted in the enlargement and including a barrel set in angular relation to the 15 V largement forming a pistol grip and having the 25 control trigger projecting therefrom.
3. A fire arm including a stock, main barrel, and a trigger, and a pistol supported by the stock beneath the barrel, forwardly of the trigger and including a depending grip formed integrally with 30 the stock and disposed in angular relation to the barrel, said pistol including a barrel located beneath and terminating short of the main barrel, the pistol barrel extending towards its muzzle at a material outwardly divergent angle to the 35 main barrel and discharging substantially horizontally when the muzzle of the main barrel is held at a material elevation and out of the range of the target toward which the pistol barrel is directed.
4. A fire arm including a main barrel, breech and trigger mechanisms at the rear of the main barrel, and a stock having a portion extenchng beneath the main barrel to a point adjacent the muzzle thereof, and a pistol supported by the stock beneath the main barrel at a point forward of the trigger, the pistol including a grip depending from the extension of the stock and integral therewith, and a barrel arranged at an outwardly 50 divergent angle to the main barrel.
