Abstract

A load-sensing base, cartridge and method are provided for use with a firearm. The cartridge includes a support element that moves a cartridge into a chamber of the firearm. The base includes a load sensor that senses a load applied by the support element and outputs a load sensing signal. The bases also include a cartridge counter, coupled to the load sensor, that uses the load sensing signal to determine a number of cartridges remaining.
