An apparatus and method for counting rounds fired from a firearm

摘要

The subject matter discloses a round counter, comprising a detection unit configured to detect energy pulses resulting from an impact to a firearm; a round counter processor configured to analyzes data obtained by the detection unit to count a number of rounds fired from the firearm; wherein the round counter processor is configured to designate a time window data that is substantially a time length of an energy pulse; wherein the round counter processor compares the time window data to a firing window, wherein the firing window is a predetermined time length required for discharging a round from the firearm; a firing counter configured to store a number of round discharged from the firearm; wherein the firing counter increases the count when the round counter processor determines the time window data is larger than the firing window and transfers a command to the firing counter to increase the count of the firing counter; an energy source to power the round counter.
