Augmented service pistol and ammunition weapons system

Abstract

An augmented service pistol weapons system and ammunition has an extended barrel and an adapter sleeve and mount which supports the barrel and partially surrounds a forward end of the service pistol. Two hinged flaps have inward extending clamps which engage an inside of the front of a trigger guard on the pistol. A turn-to-release locking pin holds the two flaps together as the flaps are closed on the trigger guard. An arm rest extends laterally rearwardly along sides of the pistol and terminates in a curved rearward extension to support the augmented service pistol on an arm of the user. A fifty round magazine replaces the standard pistol handle magazine. Scopes and aiming devices are mounted above the extended barrel. A foregrip is removable and positionable at opposite lateral sides of the extended barrel and below the barrel. A variable power function assembly surrounds the barrel and allows selected release of gas to slow projectiles. A shredding device near the muzzle shreds bands on the projectile. A valve on the variable power adjustment releases propellant gas from the barrel and sends the propellant gas forward to the flash suppressor on the muzzle. A shredder immediately before the flash suppressor extends blades and points into the barrel to shred rings which hold submunition segments and deployable air brakes in a projectile. A case which is attachable to a service belt holds the mount and extended barrel and scope and aiming devices, and three fifty round magazines, for rapid attachment to a service pistol.
