Stabilizing device for a small fire arm

A stabilizing device for a small firearm having a sighting device comprising:

• means for uncoupling a barrel with respect to a shooter;
• means for hinged linking being mounted between said barrel and said means for uncoupling to enable said barrel to swivel with respect to said means for uncoupling:
• means for controlling the swivel of said barrel to offset parasitic movements imparted by the shooter, said means being a servo system;
• wherein
• control electronics emit firearm control signals from instructions supplied by sensors which are integral with a body of the firearm, to permit said sensors to detect parasitic angular movements of the firearm around the pivotal axes of the barrel,
• actuators driven by signals emitted from the control electronics make the barrel swivel to offset parasitic angular movements of the firearm, and
• sensors carried by the barrel and emit signals corresponding to at least one of the actual position and frequency of movement of the barrel and are transmitted to the control electronics to enable the control signals transmitted to the actuators to be monitored and keep the barrel in line with the line of sight fixed by the shooter.

A stabilizing device for a small firearm having a sighting device comprising:

• means for uncoupling a barrel with respect to a shooter;
• means for hinged linking mounted between a barrel and the means for uncoupling, said means for hinged linking comprising two pivotal axes that are perpendicular to each other and onto which the barrel is swivellingly mounted and four wire assemblies using elastic torsion wherein two wire assemblies are located respectively on either side of the barrel and in line with one of the pivotal axes of the barrel and the other two wire assemblies are located on either side of the barrel and in line with the other pivotal axis of the barrel;
• and
• means for controlling the swivel of the barrel to offset parasitic movements imparted by the shooter.
