Abstract

Arme ou système d'arme, notamment mine, lanceur de mines ou de projectiles antichars, qui comporte notamment un affût de pointage ou de prépointage, un tube de lancement fermé à sa partie arrière, un projectile, une charge propulsive, ladite arme ou système d'arme étant caractérisé en ce que ledit tube (2) est relié audit affût (1) par un berceau (7) organisé de manière à permettre, après mise à feu de ladite charge propulsive (4), le découplage de ce tube par rapport audit berceau, et son recul libre, au moins pendant la partie principale du parcours dudit projectile (3) dans l'âme dudit tube. Weapon or weapon system, including mine, mine launcher or anti-tank projectiles, which notably includes a pointing or prepointing, a launch tube closed at its rear, a projectile, a propellant charge, said weapon or weapon system being characterized in that said tube (2) is connected to said mount (1) by a cradle (7) organized so as to allow, after igniting said propellant charge (4), the decoupling of this tube with respect to said cradle, and its free recoil, at least during the game main path of said projectile (3) in the core of said tube.
