Patent ID: 8464451

Claim:
A firearm system comprising of: (a) a firearm, (b) a microprocessor circuit, (c) a battery for powering said microprocessor circuit, (d) a non-volatile memory for storing a microprocessor program and firearm information, (e) a first sensing means to determine when the firearm action is closed, and a second sensing means to determine when the firearm action is open, and a microprocessor timing clock being able to measure the elapsed time between de-activation of the first sensing means and activation of the second sensing means, and conversely the elapsed time between de-activation of the second sensing means and activation of the first sensing means, whereby the firearm system can determine if the state of the firearm action is open or closed, and how fast the action was cycled in order to reach its current state, and whereby the firearm system can make determinations based on the state of the firearm action, and determinations based upon how fast the firearm action opens, closes, opens-and-closes, fails to close, or fails to open.
