The present invention relates to an automated system and method for a projectile launcher monitoring. The automated projectile launcher monitoring system comprises a projectile attachment and a processing module. The projectile attachment coupled with a projectile launcher includes a sensor module and a communication module. The projectile attachment acquires signals from the sensor module and converts them into a time-sampled data. The communication module sends the time-sampled data to the processing module corresponding to a shooting plan. The processing module is coupled with the projectile attachment and configured process the time-sampled data to generate a monitoring model. The processing module produces at least one-shot candidate from the time-sampled data when at least one metric is satisfied, and deploys an instance-level classifier to categorize the at least one shot candidate to generate at least one prediction. The processing module further computes an estimated proportion by aggregating the at least one prediction, compares the estimated proportion with a real proportion to determine a loss function, and generates the monitoring model through an iterative process until a predetermined minimal loss is achieved.

A sound suppressor for a firearm with a high rate of fire, such as a machine gun, conceals the location of the firearm during heavy use by rapidly dissipating heat through a foamed graphite sleeve. A sound suppressing baffle core is coaxially located within a tubular housing having flared ends extending beyond the core. An inlet nozzle and exit plate close the ends of the suppressor and are held in place with threaded collars. The terminal portions of the collars are beveled, as are the corresponding terminal portions of the nozzle and end plate, and are used to capture the flared portions of the ends of the tubular housing. Diagonally opposing recesses in the collars enable their removal with a spanner wrench, along with the other components for maintenance and replacement. The suppressor lasts longer and has a less visible heat signature used in sustained fire on a machine gun.
