A weapon system includes a long gun, such as a rifle or a shotgun, a handgun, and a bracket secured to the rifle or shotgun around the barrel. The bracket permits swiveling and firing the handgun while attached to the long gun. The bracket includes a swivel ball joint below the long-gun barrel and an attachment brace that releasably connects the swivel ball joint and the handgun. The handgun may be a semi-automatic pistol where a slide moves back and forth when fired. The attachment brace has a top section and a bottom section. The top section goes around the slide so that it does not interfere with its movement. The bottom section contacts the handgun below the slide to securely attach the handgun to the rifle or shotgun. |

A shooting rest assembly is engageable with a stand for supporting a weapon in the stand. The shooting rest assembly includes a base having at least one clamp for coupling to the stand. A platform is rotatably coupled to the base and has a platform frame and a telescoping member telescopically coupled to the platform frame. The telescoping member is configured to move along a longitudinal axis relative to the platform frame between a retracted position and an extended position. A front rest and a rear rest are spaced along the longitudinal axis and are mounted to the telescoping member in fixed positions so that each of the front rest and the rear rest move with the telescoping member as the telescoping member moves along the longitudinal axis between the retracted and extended positions relative to the longitudinal axis. |

An air adjustable shooting bag that utilizes a sectional media body, air bladder and friction sock, and outer containment bag to adjust alignment of the firearm wherein the shooter positions the barrel or the stock of the firearm upon the flexible media body to stabilize the firearm during firing and the air bladder is used to expand or contract the media body. The invention provides the stability of popular “sand bag” type shooting rests and the fine-tune adjustability of rigid “mechanical vice” type shooting systems while maintaining the lightweight and portable characteristics of “balloon type” shooting bags. |

A variable height support with a platform and a base supporting the platform and reconfigurable to selectively change a height of a support surface on the platform relative to a subjacent surface. A control assembly is operable to selectively: a) maintain the support surface at a selected height; and b) release the platform to allow the base to be reconfigured to change the height of the support surface. The control assembly has a ratchet subassembly that, with the control assembly in a first state, allows the base to be reconfigured by exerting a continuous upward force upon the platform that causes the platform to elevate and be blocked within a range at a plurality of different vertical locations against downward movement. The control assembly further has an actuator that is repositionable to change the control assembly into a second state wherein the platform can be lowered over the range. |

Shooting rests having elevation adjustment assemblies are disclosed herein. One embodiment of the disclosure, for example, is directed to a shooting rest for supporting a firearm having a buttstock spaced apart from a forestock. The shooting rest includes a first base portion carrying a first support for supporting the buttstock and a second base portion coupled to the first base portion and carrying a second support for supporting the forestock. The second base portion includes a body having an opening extending therethrough, and a height adjustment member slidably positioned in the opening. The height adjustment member has a non-circular cross-sectional shape in a plane that is generally transverse to a longitudinal axis of the height adjustment member. The height adjustment member is attached to the second support and configured to adjust a height of the second support. The second base portion includes a biasing member contacting the height adjustment member to at least partially inhibit movement of the height adjustment member through the opening. |

A method and apparatus for dampening vibration forces being transmitted from a vehicle to a firearm mount and firearm to permit substantially vibration free aiming and firing of the firearm from the moving vehicle. A support member supports a pliable membrane and permits flexing movement of a region of the membrane in response to vibration forces. A firearm mount is secured to a flexing region of the membrane. Vibration forces transmitted from the vehicle to the firearm mount are dampened by flexing of the membrane due to the mass of the firearm thereby permitting the firearm to remain stabilized for accurate aiming and firing. |

A support structure comprises image formers, weapons and sighting systems. An image former system is completely practicable by individuals of short stature or limited mobility, especially those in wheelchairs. Ordinary telescope optics and extremely rigid and simplified mechanical structural system allow the imagers incident optical axis to move through three-dimensional space while the eyepiece image moves in one plane. Elevational rotation of the imager about the eyepiece allows the observer to view 360 degrees in elevation without eye movement. A main tube tangential to the objective and parallel to the incident optical axis concentrically receives optical supports which retain the optics. The optical elements may be installed, removed, replaced and cleaned without realignment of the optics. The optical support design receives reflective or refractive optics of varying focal lengths; the objective support accommodates cameras without focal adapters. The structural elements may receive ordnance and sighting means. |

A hunting vehicle incorporates a roll cage having a tubular frame member. A gun rest incorporates a standard mounted on the tubular frame member and provides a support moveable up and down on the standard between a plurality of supporting positions. The standard is mounted on the frame member so a hunter may place a rifle on the support to steady the hunter's aim. The standard is mounted on the tubular member for easy rotation by the hunter so the hunter may aim in a wide arc without unfastening or loosening any fasteners and without moving the vehicle. |

A lower gun mount, which can be mounted in a standardized way on a ship or a permanent ground foundation, is used so that a gun can be mounted with minimal effort quickly, reproducibly and without slip, and later dismounted. This standardized lower gun mount is mounted geometrically correctly on a foundation or ship by so-called standardized ISO corners, which can be fixed in place on supports specially provided for this purpose and a mounting frame that assists the mounting. This makes it possible for the gun to be mounted rigidly and without play. |

A pneumatic launcher has a plenum chamber section, an intermediate chamber section and a launch tube section connected together in a generally linear arrangement. The plenum chamber section defines a plenum chamber that has a closed end and an open end. The intermediate chamber section has aft and forward rupture disks consecutively arranged to define an intermediate chamber. The plenum chamber is pressurized with a pressurized gas to a design plenum pressure and the intermediate chamber is pressurized with a pressurized gas to pressure that is about one-half the design plenum pressure. The intermediate chamber is then depressurizing to produce a pressure imbalance between the plenum and intermediate chambers that causes said aft and forward rupture disks to rupture. As a result, pressure equilibrium occurs between the plenum chamber and launch tube thereby discharging the fluid and projectile from the interior of the launch tube. |

A portable gun support case having gun support members firmly held in place on the case by retaining members attached to the case. The case has a lower box and an upper box which includes two longitudinal box or cover sections pivotally mounted on the lower box. When the box is open, the support members may be placed in upright positions adjacent walls of the lower box. The retaining members then may be moved into firm holding engagement with the support members. When the support members are removed from their upright positions, the upper box may be pivotally closed above the lower box along a center line formed by the two longitudinal cover sections and in engagement with the lower box. When the upper box engages the lower box, outward projections at opposite ends of the upper box are engaged by the retaining members to hold the case firmly closed. |
