Abstract

The rifle has a barrel with a revolver drum (5) behind the barrel, which has a cartridge store. The revolver drum is covered above and on the side with a cover. The drum can be rotated in stages by an operating mechanism (6), which also tensions an anchoring device (11). The drum is provided with a extensible and compressible sprung sealing ring, which produces a gas seal between the drum and the barrel (1). A sealing ring is provided for each cartridge store (13). A front (2) shaft is fixed to the barrel and a rear shaft (3) may be fixed to the barrel or may be hinged to it. A cover or a part of the cover connects the barrel rigidly with a abutment base (19), which is located behind the revolver drum.

Description

The invention relates to a rifle with a barrel and a behind this arranged revolver drum, as from the DE-PS 27 458 is known.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a weapon system from different Variants of the sleeve according to the invention for production in the same production process.

The location designations used in this document such as "Top", "front" etc. refer to the normal position of use the rifle according to the invention when shooting, with horizontal Soul axis of the barrel, with the direction "forward" the shooting direction is.

With rifles, i.e. long guns, set up for the shot are and usually when they are shot inside their Run very high gas pressure, it is often advisable after firing the shot a second or even more to have more shots available without being forced is the rifle after each shot for reloading or reloading to discontinue.

Therefore, especially on the big game hunt, there are drop-rifles enforced with several ball races, but the number generally for reasons of weight alone is limited to two. It is also difficult to run to adjust so that they have the same meeting point, whereby to be considered is that the firing of each run exert considerable thermal expansion on the barrel bundle can.

The advantage of a break barrel rifle, however, is primarily in that it builds relatively short, because the arrangement from the part of Breech and tee takes off with a barrel barrel only a very short overall length, compared for example with a conventional repeating rifle.

This is one of the reasons why self-loading rifles, forearm bolt action rifles and lever loader, all of which Allow multiple shots to be fired without firing, not enforced have, because with these rifles the additional one exceeds Overall length required for the closure and its opening movement the length of each is required used cartridge.

Another reason is the very traditional attitude many hunters who reject rifles that look different too much of break-barrel weapons, certain block rifles or one different types of repeaters with cylinder lock.

After all, there are also different national laws Observe provisions that e.g. Self-loading rifles completely ban or drastically limit their number of shots.

The main disadvantage of most multi-barrel shotguns lies against it if one of the number of shots limited to two refrains from their extraordinarily high price, which besides the requirement of two ball runs in the high proportion of manual Precision work is justified. So far for the purpose of Cost reduction of barrel rifles are structurally modified in such a way that they can be made by machine, they will nevertheless despite its comparatively low price largely rejected their unusual appearance.

Based on this problem, the object of the invention to find a rifle that will Firing more than one shot allowed, but only one run does not significantly exceed the length of a barrel barrel weapon and in the appearance of a conventional rifle not too differentiated. The barrel should be rigid, i.e. do not perform a loading movement, as is the case with some self-loading rifles is required for the connection between the sighting device, usually a telescopic sight, and the barrel is not subject to play due to its mobility.

There is also a weapon system that can be found in the course of a only manufacturing process, the manufacture of such bushings allowed the different legal provisions are enough.

According to the invention, this object is achieved by a rifle with the Features solved according to claim 1.

Claim 1 has some features that have been around are known for more than a century, but sometimes not were taken up further (DE-PS 27 458). These characteristics concern a rifle that is referred to as a "revolver rifle" is, but has no revolver drum with cartridge chambers, but a drum magazine, by rotating it in a first Work one cartridge to be reloaded in front of the only one Cartridge of the weapon is promoted, which is then in the second Operation through a cylinder lock, through the revolver magazine runs into the cartridge chamber of the barrel is pushed. The revolver magazine sits in a slidable Housing that has a cover up and down Page forms, but obviously only the function of one Dust cover fulfilled.

This known rifle is unsuitable per se, that of the invention to solve the underlying task, because it builds as well as long as the repeating rifles mentioned at the beginning the technology: in addition to the barrel with its cartridge chamber and the drum magazine is still required for the actual closure, whose overall length is at least the length of a cartridge must have, as well as everything the length of the closure return path.

According to the invention, this known rifle is now further developed that the drum magazine is designed as a revolver drum is, so as a drum that has cartridge chambers and the firing of a cartridge in each of these cartridges able to withstand. This will make the length of the weapon shortened by at least the length of the cartridge chamber because the barrel no longer has a cartridge chamber according to the invention. The cover hides the revolver drum and can be designed in this way be that the bushing according to the invention a usual Hunting rifle resembles.

A revolver rifle contradicts that to the greatest extent Ideas of the hunters about the appearance of a hunting rifle, but the presence of one inside the mechanism, So behind a cover, hidden drum disturbs hunters not, as well-known drum-like magazines prove (Mannlicher-Schoenauer system), which affects the hunters have been very well received.

Now revolver rifles for their part have been known for a long time but nowadays only for a small group of Collectors are made and are also only for proportionate weak cartridges set up; the reason is as follows: because of the violent outgassing from the air gap between the rear end of the barrel and the front end of the drum there is serious harassment to the shooter who is in usually glasses to protect the eyes and gloves to protect the hand holding the fore-end. Most of the time you even leave out the fore-end completely the hand that usually holds it is not injured.

If they used revolver rifles these days, weak ones Cartridges (e.g. the cartridge also used for revolvers .44-40) cause such a noticeable malfunction, then is when shooting cartridges for hoofed game or big game with an even more drastic impact on the shooter count.

It was tried early on to outgas to prevent or contain (DE-PS 5 496, DE-PS 35 743), but these early attempts have not worked, because the front end of the cartridge case is used for gas sealing that was the gap between the revolver drum and barrel bridged and by the gas pressure prevailing at the launch were pressed into this gap; mostly could not be avoided that the cartridge case when fired at the point of Gap was widened a little so that its removal the drum later with considerable difficulties when reloading prepared.

Nevertheless, the invention proposes that the revolver drum one gas seal overall or per cartridge chamber having. But it can be used as a sealing element on the cartridge case be dispensed with and a less perfect seal to be accepted because, according to the invention, the revolver drum in addition to the seal from a cover of the known type is encompassed from above and from the side. Now the outgassing, which may still occur to a lesser extent, can occur be derived downwards and will no longer be by the shooter noticed even when a powerful big game cartridge fired becomes.

At the same time, the cover also forms a screen, such as already mentioned above, which hides the drum from view and in turn by engraving or coating a wood veneer optically into the overall shape of the rifle can be included, so that the appearance of the invention Don't rifle a conservative hunter either disturbs.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention (Claim 3) is in each chamber of the revolver drum front end a preferably resiliently expandable and / or compressible sealing ring preferably made of copper or copper-beryllium alloy provided how it works on principle from DE-PS 861 217 for a machine gun is known. This sealing ring is shot from the bottom of a cartridge rushes through, and press the inflowing launch gases this sealing ring firmly against the walls of the front expanded Chamber and round towards the rear end of the barrel around its hole. The effectiveness of such a sealing ring arises only at relatively high gas pressure one, especially for those high-performance rifle cartridges that one has been doing so because of outgassing in revolver rifles believed to be unable to use.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, the cover is not, as with the generic rifle, movable, but is firmly integrated into the structure and forms a rigid box girder that connects the barrel with the rear connects the bottom of the revolver drum so firmly that even the recoil of a big game cartridge without more can be added.

It is thus through the combination of the generic Features with those of an actual revolver rifle as well through new and different uses of an original created only a secondary feature (cover), that accomplishes the above tasks in an unexpected way.

The rifle according to the invention is short because the revolver drum occupies the longitudinal section that is used in a break barrel is taken by the cartridge chamber, and since the shutter none Carries backward movement. It can also be done without stopping multiple shots will be fired in a row if about a common single-action turret actuation mechanism is used with a tap, which in turn is centered on the top could sit front end of the piston neck; after delivery of the shot would only need the thumb of the butt of the piston gripping hand of the rooster gripped and withdrawn , which rotates the revolver drum around a cartridge chamber and the tap itself, which is the tee forms, is excited.

Instead of such a tap, however, an actuating slide is preferred used (claim 5), since in the opinion some hunters or shooters get a stick out because of the Danger, gripped by a branch and unnoticed, for example becoming disadvantageous. It is also possible the path of movement of the slide by a suitable one Optimize transmission mechanism. A slider could also interact with a firing pin when a cock lock is considered inappropriate.

This slide preferably sits (claim 6) on the top of the piston neck and is loaded by a return spring that he always takes a rest position, even after he was withdrawn or pushed forward to the revolver drum to turn and a hammer or firing pin tighten. Such a slide can with the piston neck Hand operated comfortably, regardless of whether with right or left hand; the arrangement is also a Slider on the top of some conventional pistons Kipplaufwaffen ago known as a tensioning device, so that the Hunters or shooters not just a weapon with familiar looks, but also with familiar service.

The can according to the invention described so far can be load through without having to be removed; it is not even necessary, the fingers around the piston neck to loosen, except for the thumb. In addition, the invention Can be given a shape that does not go beyond the traditional framework.

However, the rate of fire is slightly less than in the case of a self-loading rifle or a multi-barrel break-barrel weapon, which may turn out to be big game hunting could prove disruptive, especially after the shot was fired part of the attention to pressing the tap or Slider is turned and therefore not necessarily for delivery of the margin is available. It would be possible and advantageous, the trigger like a well-known double-action revolver train as a trigger, but different then the behavior of the firing shot Shot, which is disadvantageous.

In order to remedy these disadvantages, it is preferred (claim 7) a gas piston device is provided with a tapping of the barrel and with the actuating mechanism for the revolver drum and tee device is connected. It is however, unlike known revolvers with gas pressure charging (e.g. DE-GM 7 802 770), an interruption device known per se provided the deduction from the tee decouples when this by means of the gas piston device is excited again.

The gas piston device sits in the fore-end of the Box hidden so that it is not recognizable from the outside is that it is a self-loading. The ones outlined above All advantages of the bushing according to the invention remain untouched. The gas piston device can procure in this way be that the gases that wash around the gas piston or otherwise exit the gas piston device into the room be derived under the cover so that the fore-end does not need to have any exhaust openings.

However, is preferred (claim 8) between fore-end and Run a fugue that is not just for the usual way a cantilevered barrel ensures its shot performance is optimal is because it will not be distorted by the abutment on the shaft can. Rather, the exhaust gas can also flow out through this joint, after it has acted on the gas piston without the Protect harass in any way.

But it can also be an advantage that on the front Front of the forearm some facing forward Bores are formed through which the propellant gas emerges can without being noticed by the shooter.

A gas nozzle connected by one to the gas piston Slider is opened when the gas piston is under The impact of the propellant gases has moved backwards a bit, can point forward. This will cause the exiting Propellant gases directly in the direction of the holes and against directed this.

Compared to a conventional self-loading rifle, the inventive one Rifle also has the advantage that in the extreme rare, but still possible case of a cartridge failure the next one can be fired without the To sell the rifle. In addition, the above mentioned Deduction can be provided so that after failure of a cartridge similar to a double rifle, only subtracted again must be, albeit with increased trigger resistance.

The diameter of the revolver drum used is in the Usually by the given main dimensions of the bush fixed. This revolver drum is in a number divided the same drum sectors that are as large as it the cartridge chamber to be arranged in them and the expected one Require maximum gas pressure. For example, a revolver drum maybe 6 cartridges with a fixed diameter for the deer cartridge .223, but only 5 cartridges for the shell game cartridge .308 and only 3 cartridges for the .375 H & H Magnum big game cartridge.

As a rule, however, one gets involved in every drum sector Place the cartridge chamber.

According to the invention, it is particularly preferred (claim 9), less Cartridge bearings to be provided in the revolver drum as Drum sectors are available. So the number of shots can be limited if the weapons or hunting legislation of the Country of destination of the rifle or the respective hunting practice prohibits a higher number of shots.

The revolver drum, which is reduced in capacity, can do this with a nose or other positioning training be provided, the insertion of the revolver drum allowed in the box only in such a position that the cartridge is fired first, which is also in the first of the Cartridge is seated. In this way, the intended Shot capacity can be fully used.

So much for the position of the first fired cartridge in the revolver drum through a construction measure, such as the one mentioned Nose, is fixed, it can also be made clear to the shooter when the last cartridge is about to fire and / or if there is no more cartridge by such as the aforementioned nose or another design of the revolver drum actuates a signal pin, the trigger locks or the like

It is basically possible, for example a side cover Arranged movably and the revolver drum after actuation to make a handle swing out sideways, like this from is known to many revolvers. It would also be possible to Attach revolver drum to be ejected downwards; for reloading the hunter or gunner could get a new, loaded revolver drum instead of the ejected from below like push in a magazine.

It is particularly advantageous (claim 10), the revolver drum swing down, especially by one before this transverse axis. The cover remains untouched and can therefore fully function as described above suffice as a force-transmitting part.

An ejection device can be operated simultaneously with the swiveling out process operated, the cartridges or cartridge cases pulls out of the revolver drum. But it can also be one Ejection device to be operated separately may be provided, which prevents cartridges or cartridge cases from accidentally fall to the ground and get damaged.

The handle can be hidden under the revolver drum in the Sitting room surrounded by the cover: a separate, e.g. swiveling cover can be provided around this Protect space from dirt.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention (claim 11) However, it is particularly advantageous to use the trigger guard the curved one, which protects the trigger from unwanted touch Bracket, in turn, to be used as a handle. This Trigger guard can be a rear-facing, fine-tuning clinging to or in the piston neck have recessed extension by the fingers of the the hand holding the piston neck is gripped so that each unintentional swiveling out of the revolver drum excluded is.

The trigger guard can be firmly attached to the front with a cover be the area enclosed by the cover closes at the bottom. This lid can be on its front Be pivoted at the end and one on its top Mechanism for ejecting the cartridges and cartridge cases exhibit.

As it is known with lever loaders, this lid can connected to a mechanism, such as the breaker mechanism be so that firing the rifle only at complete attached or even only when pressed by hand Trigger guard is possible. Such a mechanism for swinging out the revolver drum also forms a grip lock.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention (Claim 12) is the cover in the surface course of fore and butt stock integrated so that the Rifle is very similar in appearance to that of a block rifle. How With their system box, the visible surfaces can be Engraving or the like can be decorated.

Because such a hunting rifle only has a limited number of customers in Germany takes to the effort of making them justify it must be distributed internationally and thereby to the respective national legal regulations and be adapted to the respective hunting customs without that the differing models have different manufacturing processes require.

• wahlweise zur Herstellung einer zusätzlich als Selbstlader betreibbaren Büchse der Lauf anbohrbar und eine Gaskolbeneinrichtung anbringbar ist, und
• wahlweise zum Begrenzen der Schußzahl Revolvertrommeln mit unterschiedlichen Anzahlen von Patronenlagern einbaubar sind.

Therefore, according to the invention (claim 13), a weapon system for producing different rifles is proposed, each with a rigid barrel, a front and rear stock firmly connected to this and a locking and multi-loading device arranged between them, which has a revolver drum with cartridge chambers, which by means of a Actuating slide is gradually rotatable by an actuating mechanism, with which a knock-off device can also be tensioned, with a cover arranged between the front and rear stock, which covers the revolver drum when firing up and to the side, whereby

• optionally for producing a bushing which can additionally be operated as a self-loading device, the barrel can be drilled and a gas piston device can be attached, and
• to limit the number of shots, revolver drums with different numbers of cartridge chambers can be installed.

So a basic pattern is in different, partially limited Designs can be produced, but with the restrictions not with the means of a normal gunsmith repair shop can be canceled. So is about a rifle that was delivered without a gas piston device, not simply such a gas piston device afterwards attachable. The introduction of the tapping of the barrel, its Dimension, the attachment of the gas piston, the derivation of the Exhaust gases etc. require facilities and knowledge that are not available in a normal gunsmith.

The same applies to the introduction of additional cartridges in a revolver drum, where the number of cartridges is reduced.

In addition, the revolver drums preferably have (claim 14) different capacity also different installation dimensions on, so that a revolver drum with limited capacity not simply against an unlimited capacity Revolver drum can be replaced.

So much for the mechanism for rotating the revolver drum must be adapted to the capacity of the revolver drum only different small parts required.

The production of different variants of the invention Rifle therefore does not require any changes to the basic one Manufacturing process, such as during the manufacturing process different versions of a car model required is.

In addition, barrels and associated revolver contracts can be for different cartridges are made without this the basic manufacturing process would have to be modified.

• die erste Baureihe für Normalpatronen, mit bis zu fünf Kammern in der Revolvertrommel und einer Mindest-Wandstärke dieser Kammern von 5 mm (äußere Breite der Abdeckung: 55 mm), und
• die zweite Baureihe für Großwildpatronen mit bis zu drei Kammern in der Revolvertrommel und einer Mindest-Wandstärke dieser Kammern von 6 mm (äußere Breite der Abdeckung: 59 mm).

For example, two basic series can be provided with the same basic structure of the bushing according to the invention and with largely the same dimensions of the cover:

• the first series for normal cartridges, with up to five chambers in the revolver drum and a minimum wall thickness of these chambers of 5 mm (outer width of the cover: 55 mm), and
• the second series for big game cartridges with up to three chambers in the revolver drum and a minimum wall thickness of these chambers of 6 mm (outer width of the cover: 59 mm).

Lauf mit Kaliber 7 mm:

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone 7x57,

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone 7x64,

Lauf mit Kaliber 7,62 mm:

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone 7,62x51 (Nato-Patrone),

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone .30-06,

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone .300 Winchester Magnum,

Lauf mit Kaliber 8 mm:

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone 8x57,

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone 8x68,

Revolvertrommel für die Patrone 8x75 R.

In the series for normal cartridges, for example, the following additional variants can be manufactured with the same outer width of the cover:

7 mm caliber barrel:

Revolver drum for the 7x57 cartridge,

Revolver drum for the 7x64 cartridge,

Barrel with 7.62 mm caliber:

Revolver drum for the 7.62x51 cartridge (NATO cartridge),

Revolver drum for the .30-06 cartridge,

Revolver drum for the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge,

8 mm caliber barrel:

Revolver drum for the 8x57 cartridge,

Revolver drum for the 8x68 cartridge,

Revolver drum for the cartridge 8x75 R.

In any case, the revolver drum has the same external dimensions. Edge cartridges can be used just like rimless cartridges or Belt cartridges are used. A can is preferred with several drums for different cartridges be equipped, all set up for the same caliber are. The examples above are not restrictive: other series are also conceivable, for example a series for small calibers (.222, .223, 5.6x50 Magnum, 5.6x50R Magnum, etc.).

To the extraordinarily great practical importance of the invention The dimensions of a concrete execution, which in the following drawing in 1 is compared with a self-loading rifle from the prior art: the one shown in FIG Self-loading rifle according to the invention has an overall length of 962 mm, with a barrel length that, from the muzzle to the cartridge bottom measured, is 600 mm. For comparison, be on the applicant's known self-loading rifle SL 7, with a total length of 1 010 mm a barrel length of 430 mm, i.e. with the same barrel length as the 1 would have to be 218 mm longer than this.

The barrel and total length of that of the invention Rifle can only be reached with one Drop barrel rifle possible.

An alternative embodiment has a tilt run: as with a conventional barrel turret (e.g. Webley & Scott, Mk. VI) the drum axis is stationary relative to the barrel arranged; but the barrel is together towards the buttstock can be tipped over with the drum.

Because of the high forces occurring with rifle cartridges, the trying to tip the barrel when firing is a powerful one Locking mechanism required that the tiltable Run along with the drum on the rear of the rifle holds on. Mechanisms of this kind come from break-barrel rifles known and can also be used in the rifle according to the invention will. To operate such a mechanism is mostly a pivot lever arranged above the piston neck is provided. This pivot lever can also be moved axially Pin connected from the back into a complementary Hole in the drum axis occurs when the Kipplauf is locked with the drum.

Drop barrel weapons have proven to be hunting weapons for a reason enforced because, among other advantages, they are quick to load and unloading, a quick check of the state of charge, a quick disassembly of the rifle into two handy Enable parts and many other things.

The rifle according to the invention can also advantageously be used for quick shooting Be disassembled. The two parts can then for example in a rifle case.

It is also possible and advantageous to have one on the drum To attach ejector, as he also in the above, known Turret turret is used; this pusher has a longitudinally displaceable in the drum axis Rod, which has training at its rear end, which reaches under the edge of the cartridges in the drum.

If the barrel is now tipped over with the drum, then the Rod pushed backwards and pulls all cartridges or cartridge cases to the rear from the associated cartridge chamber. In the fully tilted position of the barrel, the end position the tilting movement, the bar jumps forward again and thus allows new cartridges to enter the cartridge chamber can be inserted.

Finally, the break barrel rifle according to the invention corresponds also the preference of traditional hunters, who in any case a conventional barrel-barrel weapon against a repeating rifle or prefer self-loading rifle.

The object of the invention is explained in more detail, for example, with the aid of the attached schematic drawing. In this shows:

Fig. 1

a very schematic, greatly reduced longitudinal section through a sleeve according to the invention, and

2 a, b and c

1 each with a schematic cross section through the cover of the sleeve of FIG. 1, with a different revolver drum and on a larger scale than the illustration of FIG. 1.

In Fig. 1 is a self-loading rifle in a schematic longitudinal section seen; there is a number of components that are for the explanation of the construction principle is less necessary, omitted for clarity. Likewise, because of small hatching omitted any hatching, because it could be confused with contour lines.

The sleeve has a drawn barrel 1, one firmly this attached fore-end 2 and one relative to this fixed buttstock 3 with a piston neck 4, which at Shooting is gripped by the shooter's hand.

The barrel 1 is with the butt stock 3 via an upper cover part 7 firmly connected (see Fig. 2a, b and c), which is resistant to bending and torsion. The cover top 7 will closed to the rear by a push floor 19, which is fixed is connected to the butt stock 3, forward by a Barrel holder 20, in which the barrel 1 with its rear end is screwed in.

The cover upper part 7 has a semi-cylindrical, open at the bottom Inner surface whose geometric axis is parallel runs to the longitudinal axis of barrel 1. This inner surface surrounds a revolver drum 5 at a short distance a drum axis (not shown) is rotatably mounted, the geometric axis with which the inner surface coincides.

The revolver drum 5 has a number of cartridge chambers 13 on, which are arranged so that when the revolver drum rotates 5 one cartridge chamber 13 after another in alignment Alignment to run 1 and this extended to the rear.

At the front end of the revolver drum 5 each cartridge chamber has 13 a sealing ring made of spring steel or CuBe, the firmly against the shot of a cartridge by the gas pressure pressed the transition between the cartridge chamber 13 and barrel 1 and seals it. The gas pressure at usual Rifle cartridges are so high that this seal is trouble-free is effective (for the cartridge 30-06, for which the pictured Liner is designed, the gas pressure is at launch about 3 500 bar).

At the top, the upper cover part 7 has an outside Mounting rail for a scope (not shown).

A cover base 8 with a semi-cylindrical, upward open inner surface surrounds the revolver drum 5 from below forth and is integrally formed with a trigger guard 9. The upper edges of the lower cover part 8 engage flush the lower edges of the cover upper part 7, so that the two cover parts 7, 8 in their operating position shown present a smooth, curved outer surface that is flush with the outer surface of forearm 2 and butt stock 3 merges.

The drum axis already mentioned is on the one from the trigger guard 9 and the cover lower part 8 formed component attached. This component 8, 9 is otherwise extended forward and on the underside of the barrel mount 20 by one transversely and horizontally extending pivot axis 10 mounted. It is thus possible to use this component 8, 9 together with the revolver drum 5 to swing down to the revolver drum 5 to load or unload to shot down Remove cartridge cases or around the entire revolver drum replace with another or loaded one.

The position which the opened component 8, 9 occupies is in 1 indicated by a broken line and an arc, which illustrate the pivoting movement of the component 8, 9 should.

Behind the butt plate 19 is a not shown here in detail Actuating mechanism 6 arranged with a Clamping slide 11 is coupled to the piston neck 4 after is slidably attached at the front and interacts with a trigger, which is not shown. The operating mechanism 6 acts like a conventional revolver, however the turret cock by an actuatable by the cocking slide 11 Impact piece is replaced and in addition a (not shown) Breaker is provided after firing a shot a stay of the striking piece in tense Location allowed even when the trigger is not released is.

The fore-end 2 is hollowed out from above; the so educated Opening is covered by barrel 1. Inside the cave in the fore-end 2 there is a gas guide body, which holds barrel 1 with a ring and one parallel to barrel 1, forms a gas cylinder open to the rear, through a cross hole, the wall of barrel 1 and the gas guide body enforced, is connected to the inside of the barrel 1.

At the bottom, the hole in the gas guide body is through a screwed cap 18 closed the forend 2 holds and has a strap bracket; the rifle sling (not shown) that runs through the sling swivel the unwanted unscrewing of the cap 18.

A movable gas piston 12 sits in the gas cylinder is extended at the front by a coaxial locking cone. Of the Closing cone engages in a drain nozzle 14, which is in the gas guide body is trained and forward into the cavity in the Fore-end 2 joins.

The gas piston 12 is to the rear through a piston rod arrangement 16 extended by a spring 17 after is loaded in the front.

The front side of the fore-end 2 is of exit bores 15 penetrates, which extend parallel to barrel 1. If a cartridge is fired, the bullet passes through the Run the intersection of the cross hole, and a small part the high-tension propellant flows into the gas cylinder. Of the Gas pressure generated there pushes the gas piston 12 together the piston rod assembly 16 against the restoring force of the Forward spring 17 to the rear. The locking cone opens the free end face of the gas piston 12, the drain nozzle 14, and the propellant gases pass through them from the gas cylinder into the Cavity in the fore-end 2. The one created in this cavity Overpressure is relieved through the outlet bores 15. Here the front end of the fore-end 2 is so thickened that the hand gripping the fore-end is not the fore-end overlaps, in front of the outlet bores 15 on the fore-end 2 or attacks on barrel 1 and of the escaping Propellant gas is hit.

The piston rod arrangement 16 passes through the center of the revolver drum 5 and the bumper and extends to the rear into the actuating mechanism 6, which they play with every movement of the gas piston 12 actuated such that the revolver drum 5 rotated by a cartridge chamber 13, the Hammer (not shown) cocked and the trigger (not shown) from the engagement in the locking mechanism for the The impact piece is uncoupled.

The piston rod assembly 16 is divided so that the Revolver drum 5 penetrating part together with this can be swung out.

To load the rifle the trigger guard 9 together with the Cover lower part 8 and the revolver drum 5 down pivoted; cartridges can now be pushed into the cartridge chamber 13 will. When the revolver drum 5 is filled, it becomes back up to the standby position shown in Fig. 1 worked.

The cocking slide is used to prepare the shot 11 pushed forward and released; it will Striker released. The backup state should now be restored then it is sufficient to turn the cocking slide 11 to push back again. According to one variant, if the revolver drum 5 is loaded, to manufacture the Willingness of the cocking slide 11 is also forward pushed and released; the striking piece is released. If the revolver drum 5 is now about a cartridge chamber 13 be rotated further, then the cocking slide 11 from the unlocked position pushed further forward and again released. The striking piece is tensioned and the revolver drum 5 rotated further. If you shoot against it, then the shot breaks, the propellant gases press the gas piston 12 rear and this acts via the piston rod arrangement 16 on the actuating mechanism 6, the striker tensions, the revolver drum 5 continues to rotate and the trigger uncoupled. If this is now released, then it can each time you pull the trigger again, like cartridges in successive cartridges 13 available.

The trigger guard is used to remove the empty cartridge cases 9 swung down again together with the revolver drum 5, and the revolver drum 5 is either for reloading removed or an ejection mechanism (not shown) removes the cartridge cases simultaneously or in succession.

2a, 2b and 2c are schematic different revolver drums 5 shown in the rear view; there is the Division between the cover parts 7 and 8 and the drum axis and the piston rod assembly 16 for better clarity omitted for the sake of it.

If the entire gas piston device 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 omitted, then the cocking slide must be used again before each shot 11 are operated.

It is also possible to equip the bush with a clamping trigger, so that when the time to operate the cocking slide 11 is missing, but can still be shot by shooting pulls the trigger against the resistance of the striking spring.
