Topic 1: Long Range Rifle Rounds

Patent Number: EP 0486487 B1 Justify why you believe this patent is more relevant or important than others to your topic.
This was the one of many patents that will allow our military snipers to shoot targets from a longer distance and hit them more accurately.

Would you consider this patent to be an invention or innovation? Explain why. NOTE: Some patents can be argued to be either invention or innovation. Choose one and justify your statement.
Innovation because this was an improvement on how the bullet is fired and the accuracy that the bullet has.

Patent Number: EP 1007897 A4 Justify why you believe this patent is more relevant or important than others to your topic.
A composite projectile for an ammunition cartridge comprising a core (49) formed for compacted power particulates and having opposite ends. The core is encapsulated within a jacket (47) having an open end (62). A cap is contained with the jacket (47) adjacent the open end (62) thereof and is physically captured within the jacket. The contiguous relationship to that end of the core nearest the open end of the jacket. The cap (51) defines a fixed partition extending across the transverse cross section of the jacket that enhances the concentric positioning about the longitudinal centerline of the jacket of any powder particulates dislodged from that end of the core contiguous to the cap (51) and functions as a penetrator when the projectile strikes a target. The core (49) preferably is formed from a cold-compacted mixture of tungsten and lead powders.

Would you consider this patent to be an invention or innovation? Explain why.

Innovation. Projectiles for ammunition cartridges have already been invented.

Patent Number: WO 2008090505 A2 Justify why you believe this patent is more relevant or important than others to your topic.
This invention is designed to create a reloadable subsonic rifle cartridge casing, or a cartridge casing that has the interior capacity of the cartridge case diminished in size, as to allow the safe loading of slow burning rifle powder to substantially fill the case and propel the projectile at a much reduced speed, in an accurate and safe manner.

Topic 2: Shotguns
Patent Number: EP 1162427 B1 Justify why you believe this patent is more relevant or important than others to your topic.
Improves the fire rate for shotguns and allows for easier room clearing.

Would you consider this patent to be an invention or innovation? Explain why. NOTE: Some patents can be argued to be either invention or innovation. Choose one and justify your statement.
This is an innovation to the automatic shotgun that makes the usability much more suited to those who have to clear rooms fast.

Patent Number: WO 2009113969 A1 Justify why you believe this patent is more relevant or important than others to your topic.
Our invention is the cartridge loading mechanism for semi-automatic shotguns which enables loading bullet with single hand and without giving up the 0 shooting position, which consists for five independent elements that act together in integrity and is designed as away from complexity for the sake of easy installation, and not affected from powder gases in the rifle thanks to its location.

Would you consider this patent to be an invention or innovation? Explain why.

This is an Innovation to the semiautomatic shotgun which allows you to shoot and reload without losing your shooting position.

Patent Number: WO 2005015113 A1 Justify why you believe this patent is more relevant or important than others to your topic.
The present invention refers to an additional magazine for smooth-bore shotguns, of cylinder type, which comprises a series of three parallel cartridge-holding pipes (2) eccentrically supported by a rotary disk (5) coupled to a fixed counter-disk (6) provided with means used to fix it to the shotgun magazine or frame.

Would you consider this patent to be an invention or innovation? Explain why.

The present patent application refers to an additional magazine for smoothbore shotguns, of the type comprising a cartridge magazine under the barrel with linear development under the barrel axis. More precisely, the magazine has an internal cylindrical channel that contains a small series of cartridges that can be inserted through a rear loading mouth located slightly after the trigger.

Conclusion
1. 1. Describe in your own words the difference between an invention and an innovation. An invention is something completely new and an innovation is an improvement to something that already exists. 2. 2. Describe the most interesting patent you discovered. The most interesting patent that I found was the shotgun patent and the way they innovated the firing mechanism so that they could fire multiple rounds without reloading.
