Disclosed herein are apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for using a charging device for delivering electrical power to components of a firearm. The charging device may be shaped to resemble an ammunition magazine. This form facilitates a simple and secure connection to the firearm by repurposing magazine attachment mechanisms already present on or within the firearm. The charging device may be inserted into the firearm while it is not in use, providing power to the firearm's electronics and/or batteries thereof. The charging unit is then removed, leaving the firearm mechanically unchanged and ready for normal operation and use.
Disclosed herein are devices/apparatuses, systems, methods, and machine readable media for implementing and using a system for identifying an individual who discharged a firearm, and for recording, assessing, identifying, and transmitting information related to the firing of a firearm. More specifically, the present invention relates to firearm telemetry, and includes assessing the predictive nature of a trigger- pull and associated activities, which are unique to individual users when firing a weapon. Using the techniques described herein, it is possible to uniquely identify the individual that fired a firearm.
