Target shooting, gaming, and data acquisition systems (and associated devices and methods) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a target shooting system includes (i) a target unit deployable at a first location at or near a location of a target, and (ii) a base unit deployable at a second location different from the first location. The target unit and the base unit can be configured to communicate with one another over a communication link. The target unit can further be configured to (a) detect projectile hits on the target and (b) communicate data relating to the projectile hits to the base unit via the communication link. The base unit can further be configured to communicate commands to the target unit via the communication link. The commands can include commands for proactively and/or reactively controlling the target unit, such as one or more visual indicators of the target unit.

Firearm trigger mechanisms with rotatable linkage members and associated systems and methods
Firearm trigger mechanisms with rotatable linkage members and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. A firearm trigger assembly configured in accordance with embodiments of the present technology can include, for example, a trigger, first and second linkage members, and a sear. The first linkage member, second linkage member, and sear are arranged in an over-center configuration that securely locks the sear in a first position. Pulling on the trigger causes the trigger to rotate about a fixed pivot point and push on one of the two linkage members, forcing the linkage members and the sear out of the over-center configuration. The force from a striking mechanism forces the sear and the linkage members into a collapsed configuration, releasing the striking mechanism and firing the firearm. This two toggle configuration of the trigger assembly provides crisp and reliable release of the firearm.

A bullet comprising a lead-free body having a tail section and a nose section. The nose section has an ogived outer surface and a forward terminus. The body further has an opening at the terminus, and a cavity in the nose section. The cavity extends rearward from the opening to an intermediate section of the body. The cavity includes a forward sidewall having at least a generally frusto-conical shape that converges rearward from the opening to a transition area. The cavity further includes a rear sidewall extending rearward from the transition area at a different angle than the forward sidewall.

Bullets, including lead-free bullets with frangible cores, are described herein. In some embodiments, a bullet includes a jacket having an inner surface defining a cavity having an open end and a closed end. The bullet also includes a lead-free core positioned within the cavity and extending from the closed end to a first intermediate portion of the cavity. The core includes a plurality of particles that are compacted within the cavity to form the core. The bullet also includes a seal positioned within the cavity and extending from the first intermediate portion to a second intermediate portion of the cavity. The seal abuts the inner surface of the jacket, thereby substantially sealing off the core within the cavity. The bullet may also include a polymeric tip having a forward portion projecting forward from the open end and a rearward portion extending rearward into the cavity.
