Abstract

The launcher has a spring-loaded breech block, to which and to the sliders is coupled a control. An igniter contains a spring-loaded striker pin. A shell bearing is enclosed in a housing, at least partly. The breech block (202) and the slider control has a cam lever (302) mounted on the housing (102) and extending along the movement path. The lever comprises a control cam (304), or an engaging follower. The breech block has a complementary follower (222), or a control cam so that the lever carries out transverse swivel during the breech block motion. The cam lever is coupled to the sliders by a linkage converting the lever swivel into the slider alternating motions.
