Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0136893A1] Small arm (10) includes a trigger, barrel assembly (11) and electronic firing controls mounted in handgrip (12). Barrel assembly (11) includes a plurality of axially disposed projectiles and discrete propellant charges for propelling respective projectiles, SMall arm (10) includes laaser beam (15) which terminates at target 816) to provide an instant reading of the target distance for adjusting the rate of fire to achieve a desired impact spread. The impact spread results from the recoiling action of small arm (10) inducing barrel climb. A single firing event activates the trigger and small arm (10) fires a predetermined number of projectiles at a rate selected to provide a desired impact spread on target (16). Where target (16) is a person, typically two or three projectiles are fired, and the rate of fire is between 10,000 and 60,000 rounds per minute, depending on the target distance.
