Definitions

  • the invention relates to a self-loading rifle, with a Firing of standard-caliber rifle cartridges Self-loading system, preferably an assault rifle system, a corresponding normal-caliber rifle barrel and one Visor device are assigned, and a second, for a larger caliber barrel, according to the generic term of claim 1.
  • Self-loading system preferably an assault rifle system, a corresponding normal-caliber rifle barrel and one Visor device are assigned, and a second, for a larger caliber barrel, according to the generic term of claim 1.
  • Such a rifle is known from FR-A-2 495 305 and has a grenade launcher barrel as the second barrel, which, when not in use, kept separately from the weapon must become. Both barrels are for cartridges of the same Caliber, albeit of different types, set up.
  • the grenade of the grenade launcher barrel becomes independent of the mentioned cartridges in the grenade launcher barrel from its mouth introduced here.
  • Combined weapons are also known, in which several Barrels for different calibers as a break barrel bundle are arranged. Have these combined weapons has long established itself as a hunting rifle because it Offer hunters the opportunity for different game use the appropriate cartridge.
  • the invention is the Task based on these known solutions inherent Avoid disadvantages and create a firearm that for firing the large-caliber rifle cartridges mentioned is set up, but the shooter has greater opportunities of self-defense than has been the case up to now was.
  • both barrels on the weapon are kept, one each Run has a rest position to which it is placed while the other barrel is in the position of use.
  • both barrels are arranged essentially coaxially and at the ends are connected with each other, when the one run takes up the position of use, the other run in the shoulder rest rests or forms it.
  • the two runs are structurally independent Running group connected, their facing each other Position ends have a distance from each other that is at least the return path of one set up for both runs Closure corresponds. Here is in this return path the length of the closure included.
  • the barrel group is removable from the main part of the weapon and can be inserted back into the weapon in the opposite direction.
  • Removing the barrel assembly from the main body of the weapon, turning the running group over and reinserting it all that is required is a simple unlocking, which automatically snaps back when the running group is inserted and this running group firmly with the main part of the Keeps gun connected.
  • a particular advantage of this configuration is that that a single lock is used for each of the barrels can be.
  • This breech can remain on the main part of the weapon, while the running group is removed and turned over.
  • closure is assigned to the main group and thus has a closure head on each of its two ends on the structural and the respective run is functionally adapted.
  • the trigger device has only a single tap and remains on the main part of the weapon.
  • a gas cylinder is provided with a gas extraction hole is connected in normal operation and on the normal-caliber breech head acts to lock it.
  • the closure is in the corresponding direction by a closing spring supported on the running group.
  • the unlocking of the large-caliber locking head takes place in contrast, according to claim 6, preferably by means of a handle instead, which is also designed to move the shutter can be.
  • the breech thus works together with the large-caliber barrel as a manually operated cylinder lock or Repeater lock, what in view of the high recoil of the Large caliber cartridges is advantageous because of a corresponding Multi-loading mechanism that is correspondingly high for taking Recoil forces would be set up, complex and difficult would.
  • the self-loading rifle according to the invention a magazine slot that can hold both of a normal cartridge magazine as well as a large caliber cartridge magazine is set up.
  • stops or the same ensure that the running group is not with the Normal-caliber barrel in the position of use in the main part the weapon can be used as long as there is a large-caliber magazine located in the magazine shaft, and vice versa.
  • the large-caliber rifle barrel is preferred for one cartridge with a caliber of the order of 20 to 25 mm set up.
  • Rod barrel here means a barrel that leads to the directionally stable shooting of a projectile and not about a shotgun is set up, the large-caliber rifle barrel preferably also withstand higher gas pressures should, as they usually occur with shot cartridges.
  • the large-caliber rifle barrel preferably has in its bore helical trains and fields; the invention encompasses but also barrels with a smooth bore or with axially parallel ones straight trains.
  • a distance measuring device be provided, preferably a laser rangefinder, because the relatively strongly curved trajectory the large-caliber bullets, which are also still proportionate long distance are effective, a precise distance determination expedient.
  • This distance measuring device can according to claim 11 the barrel in the position of use be automatically adjusted by a sensor a signal issues that for the type of in use Rifle barrel is representative. This position of use is an appropriately appealing to the respective run Assign signal generator.
  • the self-loading rifle shown has a housing with a Hand protection 1 and a shoulder rest 15.
  • a trigger device 11 with a trigger 12 is attached on the housing.
  • a magazine shaft On the mouth side in front of the trigger 11 is a magazine shaft arranged to accommodate a slightly curved Rod magazine 8 for normal cartridges or a larger one also slightly curved rod magazine 7 (dashed Outline) is set up for large caliber cartridges.
  • a visor device 10 is located on the top of the housing appropriate.
  • FIG. 3 A barrel assembly is inserted into the housing, which is shown in Fig. 3 is shown.
  • This running group consists of an elongated one Lock guide part with a central axis, on the a normal-caliber barrel 2 by means of one end a union nut is attached and the other The end of a large-caliber barrel 3 is attached coaxially.
  • the both runs 2 and 3 are each other with their respective camp facing.
  • closure guide part In the closure guide part is a closure 4 in the axial direction movably attached to the large-caliber barrel 3 facing end a large-caliber closure head 6th and at its end facing normal caliber barrel 2 has a normal-caliber breech head 5.
  • the normal-caliber barrel 2 points in a manner known per se a gas extraction hole with a gas cylinder 9 in Connection is established.
  • a cranked, axially parallel Actuating rod 14 forms with one, in Gas cylinder 9 seated end of a gas piston and sits with its other end slidably in the closure guide part and there acts on the normal-caliber breech head 5 in known way so that this when in the gas cylinder 9 a sufficient shot by firing a normal cartridge Gas pressure is generated, the normal-caliber breech head 5 is unlocked and the closure 4 an opening movement against the force of the spring 13 towards Runs large-caliber 3.
  • the large-caliber closure head 6 has one not shown Handle by means of which he in the camp end of the large-caliber barrel 3 can be locked or unlocked. Further is with this handle the closure 4 towards the large-caliber barrel 3 moveable.
  • a continuous firing pin is mounted in the closure 4.
  • the normal-caliber barrel 2 is in the Position of use, while the large-caliber barrel 3 within the Shoulder rest 15 is added.
  • the to the magazine shaft facing side of the closure 4 is suitable for the two Magazines 7, 8 designed so that only the normal-caliber magazine 8 can be inserted into the magazine shaft as far as that it is locked.
  • a signal generator is activated, which is connected to the Visor 10 is connected and this on the switches to the appropriate operating mode for normal-caliber run 2.
  • the Handle 11 can be equipped with a switching device be the single fire, limited burst and / or continuous fire allowed.
  • the running group is made up of the main part removed from the weapon and turned over so that it is relative to the weapon shown in FIG. 1, the one shown in FIG. 3 Takes position, and is back in the main part of the weapon used.
  • the large-caliber barrel 3 now faces forward. However, this insertion is only possible if previously the normal-caliber magazine 8 from the magazine shaft was removed.
  • the large-caliber magazine can now be used in these 7 introduced and locked there, what with the normal cartridge magazine 8 is not possible.
  • the signaling device assigned to the running group the sighting device 10 on a suitable for the large-caliber barrel 3 Operating mode around.
  • each in the shoulder rest 15 in Rest position is on a receptacle of the butt plate supported and serves as the recoil force in the Shoulder of the shooter introductory part.
  • the shoulder rest 15 can thus be made very light, since its required Strength alone from the barrel 2 sitting in it, 3 is ensured.
  • the self-loading rifle shown differs is therefore only slightly different in weight a conventional assault rifle.
  • the cartridge .223 is intended as a normal cartridge, as Large-caliber cartridge a cartridge with a caliber of 20 up to 25 mm.
