Tactical Apparatus and Method for Mounting a Multi-Cartridge Firing Electric Discharge Weapon

A method of converting a stationary or vehicle-mounted electric discharge weapon from a fixed status to a hand-carried status, comprising:

• providing a multi-cartridge electric discharge weapon, wherein said weapon has a fire control unit having a fire button, and a plurality of firing cartridges, a housing containing the plurality of firing cartridges;
• fixing the multi-cartridge discharge weapon in a fixed location;
• providing a hand-holdable apparatus having a frame, at least one handle coupled to said frame, a mounting plate, wherein said housing containing the plurality of firing cartridges may be reversibly attached to said mounting plate;
• a fire control housing affixed to said frame, wherein said fire control unit may be at least partially disposed within said fire control housing, wherein said fire button is accessible through the fire control housing;
• removing the multi-cartridge discharge weapon from its fixed location;
• mounting said fire control unit in the apparatus fire control housing;
• mounting said housing containing the plurality of firing cartridges on the mounting plate;
• wherein said hand-holdable unit may be carried, aimed, and fired as a rifle, wherein said hand-holdable unit may be used to subdue one or more subjects.

A tactical apparatus for mounting a multi-cartridge firing electric discharge weapon, comprising:

• a frame having a clamp member;
• a riser member having a first end and second end, wherein said riser member may slidingly engage said clamp member, wherein said riser member is shaped to define a plurality of riser locking apertures;
• a mounting platform having a seating surface, said platform pivotally coupled to the second end of said riser member and rotatably movable thereupon, wherein said mounting platform is shaped to define a plurality of locking platform apertures, wherein said riser locking apertures and platform locking apertures may align during rotation;
• a locking pin capable of reversibly inserting into said riser and platform locking apertures;
• a mounting surface coupled to the seating surface, wherein said mounting surface may accommodate an array housing containing an array of firing cartridges;
• wherein said mounting platform and mounting surface may rotate, wherein the rotational plane is 180 degrees perpendicular to said riser, wherein said mounting platform and mounting surface may be locked when said locking pin is inserted into said aperture.
