ABSTRACT:
A personal weapon system comprises a microprocessor-controlled and electronically fired "blow-forward" handgun with a firing parameter memory device, digital security lock and safety device, directional compass, electronic rounds counter, integral keyboard and liquid crystal display, laser designator capability, programmable piezo-resistive trigger, and high frequency A.C. ignitable primer. A microprocessor receives information from a real time clock, Hall-effect rounds counter, and an integral Hall-effect compass. The processor displays this information on the LCD display for the operator. When a round is fired, the microprocessor records time and date, number of rounds fired, and direction of firing for crime lab analysis. The trigger pressure required to fire the handgun is programmable by the operator, and a corresponding trigger detonation mark is displayed on the LCD display. Trigger pressure exerted by the operator is displayed on the LCD display as a bar graph which lengthens in proportion to trigger pressure applied. The weapon fires when the bar graph reaches the trigger detonation mark.
