Electric discharge weapon for use as forend grip of rifles

A combined long arm and an electronic discharge device comprising:

• a chamber for seating an ammunition cartridge into the electronic discharge device for firing electrode darts at a remote target;
• a power supply with exposed contacts for electrical connection to the ammunition cartridge for shocking through atmosphere at high tension;
• a solid member which a current can transit;
• wherein the solid member and the power supply contacts are located to cooperate to prevent a current from shocking a combination operator whose hands are behind the member when the combination weapon is electrically energized.

A method including the steps of:

• supplying a long arm;
• providing an electronic discharge device comprising:
• a chamber for seating an ammunition cartridge into the electronic discharge device for firing;
• a power supply with exposed contacts for electrical connection to the ammunition cartridge for shocking a remote target with darts for shocking at high tension fired through the atmosphere;
• a solid member which a current can transit to protect a shooter from being shocked by the current;
• the method further comprising the steps of:
• fastening the long arm to the electronic discharge device to form a combination weapon;
• seating an ammunition cartridge in the chamber;
• energizing the electronic discharge device to fire from the electronic control device and toward a remote target electrodes that may each miss the target and cause current to transit the member to prevent the shooter of the combination weapon from inadvertently being shocked.
