A bomb neutralizing apparatus, comprising,
- a tripod assembly, the tripod assembly having a tripod plate including a plurality of tripod legs, each leg of said tripod legs includes an extension leg telescopingly mounted relative to a respective tripod leg, and
- the tripod assembly includes a central support shaft extending medially and downwardly relative to the tripod plate between the tripod legs, and
- a lower distal end of the central support shaft includes a shaft lower swivel connection, and
- a mounting block mounted to the shaft lower swivel connection, and
- the mounting block including a firing assembly mounted within the mounting block, and
- the firing assembly includes a forward barrel, the forward barrel having a barrel bore coaxially directed through the forward barrel, including a truncated conical outer periphery merging towards a barrel forward distal end, and the forward barrel having a barrel rear entrance end, with the rear entrance end formed with a barrel chamber therewithin to receive a projectile, and the barrel rear entrance end including an annular barrel shoulder flange arranged in surrounding relationship relative to the barrel rear entrance end, and the forward barrel further having an externally threaded barrel boss coaxially aligned with the forward barrel extending rearwardly of the barrel rear entrance end, and a mounting housing having a mounting housing bore of a first diameter, the mounting housing bore coaxially aligned with the mounting housing and the barrel bore when the mounting housing is secured to the forward barrel, with the mounting housing including a mounting housing internally threaded second bore defined by a second diameter greater than the first diameter, the mounting housing second bore coaxially aligned with the mounting housing bore, and the mounting housing bore arranged for threadedly receiving the externally threaded barrel boss.
