Abstract
Le dispositif de mise à feu comprend un condensateur (8) chargé à l'aide d'une batterie (1) par l'intermédiaire d'un cir cuit comprenant un circuit intégré (2), un transistor (3), un transformateur (4) et une diode (5). En appliquant une impul sion sur la gachette (15) d'un thyristor (8), on décharge brutalement le condensateur (8) dans une amorce électrique (13) de la cartouche, pour provoquer la mise à feu. The firing device includes a capacitor (8) charged using a battery (1) via a cir baked comprising an integrated circuit (2), a transistor (3), a transformer (4) and a diode (5). By applying an impulse sion on the trigger (15) of a thyristor (8), we discharge suddenly the capacitor (8) in an electrical primer (13) of the cartridge, to cause ignition.
L'arme à feu est également équipée d'un dispositif amor tisseur qui permet d'amortir le déplacement relatif de l'ensemble culassecannon par rapport à la crosse. The firearm is also equipped with an amor device weaver who dampens the relative displacement of the whole cylinder head relative to the butt.
L'amorce électrique (13) de la cartouche est composée d'un corps métallique cylindrique, d'un isolant interne et d'une électrode axiale noyée dans l'isolant, un filament situé à proximité de la poudre étant branché entre le corps métalli que et l'extrémité avant de l'électrode axiale qui s'étend jusqu'à l'extrémité arrière de la douille. The electrical primer (13) of the cartridge is composed a cylindrical metallic body, an internal insulator and an axial electrode embedded in the insulator, a filament located proximity of the powder being wired between the metal body that and the front end of the axial electrode that extends to the rear end of the socket.
