ABSTRACT:
An adapter is mounted on a gun barrel near its free end. The adapter conts spaced-apart fulcrums with an actuator between the fulcrums for bending or flexing the barrel with respect to the fulcrums. This bends the barrel, causing the muzzle of the barrel to move and thus re-air the barrel independently of a mount which carries the barrel. The adapter can be used in a rapid fire weapon. The flexing condition of the barrel at each round of a burst of fire is recorded and then used to supply forces to the barrel during a subsequent burst of fire. The applied forces compensate for the uncontrolled flexing of the barrel to increase accuracy.
