Abstract
A firearm system having separate frame, action, & lock systems is disclosed. The firearm system is closed, sealed, and inaccessible when in safe mode. The physical gripping of the firearm allows access to a lock input component which is then physically actuated at which point if a lock code has been input correctly, the firearm system changes from safe mode to firing mode thereby allowing use as a firearm. Upon physical release of the grip, the firearm immediately returns to safe mode.
Claims9
A safety-oriented firearm system, comprising:
- a cylinder, barrel, and frame capable of containing and firing an ammunition cartridge;
- an aligned and sliding linear hammer which moves only in a straight line from beginning of travel to end of travel and which is moved by a linear hammer spring to strike a primer to achieve detonation;
- the cylinder and a rotating drum connected by a surfaced rod, which allows the transfer of movement of a trigger bar via the rotating drum and a single point driver pin thereby driving the cylinder to release the linear hammer;
- and
- a left shell and a right shell which form two exterior halves of the firearm system and are held together by a plurality of tamper proof screws;
- wherein the cylinder, barrel, and frame become non-functional if disassembled and wherein the cylinder, barrel, and frame are prevented from re-assembly by the tamper proof screws.
