Abstract

A firearm synchronized discharge device for facilitating a synchronized discharge of two or more firearms are described together with associated systems, firearms and methods. The device includes an actuator for engaging with a movable trigger of a first firearm, a sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a force applied to the trigger and a first controller operatively coupled to the sensor and to the actuator. The actuator is configurable between a first configuration that prevents movement of the trigger toward a firearm-discharge position of the trigger, and a second configuration that permits movement of the trigger toward the firearm-discharge position of the trigger. When the force meets a criterion and the one or more other firearms are ready for discharge, the actuator is caused to transition from the first configuration to the second configuration to permit actuation of the trigger and discharge of the firearm.

• F41A 19/18 - Mechanical firing mechanisms for multibarrel guns
• F41A 19/55 - Fluid-operated firing mechanisms
• F41A 19/59 - Electromechanical firing mechanisms, i.e. the mechanical striker element being propelled or released by electric means
