Patent attributes
A firearm having an aim-compensation system. The firearm includes a barrel and is configured to fire a projectile. The firearm further includes a sensor disposed on the firearm that determines an orientation of the firearm. The firearm further includes a control unit that determines an intended point-of-aim of the firearm and an actual expected point-of-aim of the firearm based on the orientation of the firearm, and the control unit determines a differential of the intended point-of-aim and the actual expected point-of-aim. The firearm further includes a muzzle device arranged on the barrel which is in communication with the control unit, wherein, when the projectile is fired, the muzzle device directs a gas toward the projectile in an amount and direction based on the differential determined by the control unit so as to exert an aerodynamic force on the projectile to alter the trajectory of the projectile towards the intended point-of-aim.
