Abstract
Gyroscopically assisted weapons stabilization systems are provided which include a spring-assisted recoil assembly for mounting a weapon having an elongate axis and a gyroscope assembly having multiple pairs of axially opposed gyroscopes having respective spin axes. The multiple pairs of axially opposed gyroscopes are positioned so that the respective spin axes thereof are in a common plane and are offset relative to one another by an angle α. A mounting assembly dependently mounts the gyroscope assembly to the recoil assembly so as to allow for adjustments of the gyroscope assembly in parallel and perpendicular adjustment planes relative to the elongate axis of the weapon

A weapon stabilization system comprising:
- a spring-assisted recoil assembly for mounting a weapon having an elongate axis;
- a gyroscope assembly comprised of multiple pairs of axially opposed gyroscopes having respective spin axes, wherein
- the multiple pairs of axially opposed gyroscopes are positioned so that the respective spin axes thereof are in a common plane and are offset relative to one another by an angle α, and
- a mounting assembly to dependently mount the gyroscope assembly to the recoil assembly to allow for adjustments of the gyroscope assembly in parallel and perpendicular adjustment planes relative to the elongate axis of the weapon.
