Abstract
A measurement adapter may include a body, a first attachment interface configured to attach the measurement adapter to a barrel of a firearm, and a second attachment interface configured to attach the measurement adapter to a firearm accessory. A channel may extend between the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface through the body. The measurement adapter may also include a third attachment interface configured to attach the measurement adapter to a sensing device and to provide a sensor of the sensing device access to the channel.
Claims20
A measurement adapter, comprising:
- a body;
- a first attachment interface coupled with the body and configured to attach the measurement adapter to a barrel of a firearm;
- a second attachment interface coupled with the body and configured to attach the measurement adapter to a firearm accessory, wherein a channel extends between the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface through the body and has a substantially uniform diameter along an axial length of the channel between the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface;
- and
- a third attachment interface coupled with the body and configured to attach the measurement adapter to a sensing device, wherein the third attachment interface is further configured to provide a sensor of the sensing device access to the channel, the sensor being configured to sense characteristics associated with the firearm accessory.
A method, comprising:
- attaching a barrel of a firearm to a first attachment interface of a measurement adapter, a firearm accessory to a second attachment interface of the measurement adapter, and a sensing device comprising a sensor to a third attachment interface of the measurement adapter that provides the sensor access to a channel formed by the measurement adapter between a bore of the barrel and a bore of the firearm accessory, the channel having a substantially uniform diameter along an axial length of the channel between the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface;
- and
- firing, after the barrel, the firearm accessory, and the sensor are attached to the measurement adapter, a projectile through the firearm, wherein one or more characteristics of the channel are sensed by the sensor based at least in part on the projectile being fired through the firearm.
A system, comprising:
- a firearm comprising a barrel;
- a firearm accessory;
- a sensing device;
- and
- a measurement adapter, comprising:
- a body,
- a first attachment interface coupled with the body and configured to attach the measurement adapter to the barrel of the firearm,
- a second attachment interface coupled with the body and configured to attach the measurement adapter to the firearm accessory, wherein a channel extends between the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface through the body, the channel being configured to provide a passage from a bore of the barrel to a bore of the firearm accessory, wherein the channel has a substantially uniform diameter along an axial length of the channel between the first attachment interface and the second attachment interface, and
- a third attachment interface coupled with the body and configured to attach the measurement adapter to the sensing device, wherein the third attachment interface is configured to provide a sensor of the sensing device access to the channel.
