Abstract:
1. A multi-mode light emitting drill cartridge for a firearm comprising: a light source for generating a first emission of light; a first tubular member having a first longitudinal axis which comprises a first terminal for connecting to the first side of a power source; a second terminal for connecting to the second side of the power source; an input device abutting the rear end which comprises a control circuit proximate the input device which comprises a securing element which comprises a second attachment structure such that the second attachment structure mates with the first attachment structure to secure the input device and the integrated circuit in the first tubular member; the drill cartridge being operable between a ready configuration and a first actuated configuration such that in the ready configuration the first component is in the ready position, and such that in the first actuated configuration the signaling mechanism transforms kinetic energy from the first component into a first data signal, the integrated circuit is configured to send a first control signal to the output lead in response to the first data signal, and the light source is configured to generate a first emission of light in response to the first control signal.
