I’m both excited and very relieved to receive official notification that my Non-Provisional patent application corrections went through fine.
My heart attack recovery completely disrupted my drafting of the drawings and specification. The doctors and pharmacy finally got everything right now. They nearly killed me but God had other plans.
Nevertheless, my radical, new design is on its way from Patent Pending, moving forward again to United States Patent Issued.
While my VF-9 may appear very conventional on the outside, there’s a bit of Newtonian physics subtly go on, on the inside.
Even the parts on the inside appear deceptively conventional, however, the geometry of the parts and an additional two parts, a simple gas piston and operating rod control the motion of a simple bolt. It’s incredibly simple, which makes it robust and dependable, plus it’s easy and very economical to manufacture.
The magic happens in the trunion, where the gas piston resides. It keeps the breech closed until the pressure of a discharged cartridge drops to a safe level to cycle the light bolt and diminutive recoil spring.
It’s all in the low-tolerance geometry, which can rattle like an AK-47 and shrug off carbon to always cycle.
The only high tolerance parts are the gas rings of the piston. They cost less than a dollar to replace, even in the field, even in the dark.
You are looking at the future of the SMG.
It will obsolete everything else in the SMG, PCC and PDW market as fast as Glock took over the Wonder-Nine market.
