A rail system mounted on top of a SIG SG 550 A dovetail rail on a rifle receiver for mounting a sight. A rail integration system (RIS; also called a rail accessory system (RAS), rail interface system, rail system, mount, base, gun rail, or simply a rail [1]) is a generic term for any standardized attachment system for mounting firearm accessories via bar-like straight brackets (i.e. "rails ...
A gun rack, also known as a firearm rack, rifle rack, or arm rack, is a rack used for storing firearms such as long guns and handguns. They can be used for regular storage or display. Gun racks are often designed to hold a gun pointing up, with its stock or grip touching the bottom of the rack. Sections on the rack may be intended as slots to ...
An example (open and closed) of a typical gun safe. A gun safe is a safe designed for storing one or more firearms and/or ammunitions.Gun safes are primarily used to prevent access by unauthorized or unqualified persons (such as children), for burglary protection and, in more capable safes, to protect the contents from damage by flood, fire or other natural disasters.
A thermographic weapon sight, thermal imagery scope or thermal weapon sight is a sighting device combining a compact thermographic camera and an aiming reticle. [1] They can be mounted on a variety of small arms as well as some heavier weapons. [2] As with regular ultraviolet sensors, thermal weapon sights can operate in total darkness.
Many original single-action revolvers have a half-cock "safety" notch on the hammer, but these are not drop-proof. [22] Modern single-action revolvers, those made after the early 1970s, almost always have an internal safety, such as a hammer block or transfer bar. It is safe to carry such firearms with a loaded chamber under the hammer.
A fire-resistant safe is a type of safe that is designed to protect its contents from high temperatures or actual fire. Fire resistant safes are usually rated by the amount of time they can withstand the extreme temperatures a fire produces, while not exceeding a set internal temperature, e.g., less than 350 °F (177 °C).
To qualify as a precision guided firearm, the system must: Be a complete firing system – rifle, ammunition and networked tracking scope; Persistently track the target, automatically compute a multi-variable firing solution, and ensure precise engagement when target and firing solution are optimally aligned
Firearms use triggers to initiate the firing of a cartridge seated within the gun barrel chamber.This is accomplished by actuating a striking device through a combination of mainspring (which stores elastic energy), a trap mechanism that can hold the spring under tension, an intermediate mechanism to transmit the kinetic energy from the spring releasing, and a firing pin to eventually strike ...
