Abstract
Ammunition for an electronically activated simulated firearm includes a combustible powder contained in a plastic casing having electrically conductive pins which mount in a barrel portion of the firearm. The powder charge is less than 2 grains of an oxidizer, a fuel, and a color enhancer to provide the smoke and flash of a real weapon without producing any significant noise or creating danger.
Claims30
A combustible load for a simulated firearm comprising,
- a casing having walls, a hollow interior, and an open end,
- a plurality of electrically conductive pins extending from the casing for mounting in the simulated firearm,
- a combustible charge contained within the casing comprising less than 2.0 grains of a finely divided mixture of an oxidizer, a fuel, and a yellow color enhancer, and
- a resistance wire connected to the pins located inside the casing for igniting the combustible charge.
A combustible load for a simulated firearm comprising,
- a plastic casing having walls, a hollow interior, and an open end,
- a pair of electrically conductive pins extending from the casing for mounting in the simulated firearm,
- a combustible charge containing less than 2.0 grains of a powder mixture which passes a 200 mesh screen, said mixture containing a combustible metal, an oxidizer, and a yellow color enhancer,
- the casing having a length to outside cross-sectional area in the range of from about 15 to about 40 in./sq. in., and
- ignition means connected to the pins located inside the casing for igniting the combustible charge.
A combustible load for a simulated firearm comprising,
- a plastic casing having walls, hollow interior, and an open end,
- a pair of electrically conductive pins extending axially from the casing for mounting in a socket portion of the simulated firearm,
- a combustible charge contained within the casing comprising a powder, passable through a 200 mesh screen, comprising less than 2.0 grains of a mixture of magnesium, potassium perchlorate, and a yellow color enhancer,
- ignition means for igniting the combustible charge comprising a resistance wire connected to the pins located within the casing, and
- sealing means for retaining the combustible charge within the casing comprising a foamed plastic disk.
In combination, a simulated firearm comprising a housing, mounting means within the housing for simultaneously retaining a plurality of explosive loads, and electronic circuit means for providing an electrical charge sequentially to each load, and
- a plurality of combustible loads mounted in the mounting means, each load comprising a casing having walls, a hollow interior, and an open end, a plurality of electrically conductive pins extending from the casing for mounting in the simulated firearm, a combustible charge contained within the casing comprising less than 2.0 grains of a finely divided mixture of an oxidizer, a fuel, and a yellow color enhancer, and a resistance wire connected to the pins located inside the casing for igniting the combustible charge.
