Definitions

  • the invention relates to a weapon barrel with muzzle brake, especially for large-caliber guns.
  • a gun barrel in which a separate muzzle brake is attached to reduce the return energy to the mouth end of the gun barrel.
  • the muzzle brake comprises an aligned with the gun barrel, around its circumference radial bores exhibiting tube piece with caliber-equal inner diameter and a tube surrounding the casing pipe, which has diametrically opposite, perpendicular to the soul tube axis gas outlet openings.
  • a complex processing of the muzzle brake is required to obtain a bum-free for the projectile transition between caliber diameter of the gun barrel and the muzzle brake. This is especially true for towed weapons tubes, where in addition a bumpless transition between the train-field profiles of the barrel and the muzzle brake must be considered.
  • the US 5 036 747 A describes a muzzle brake door pistol, in which several consecutively located, through the wall of the barrel through openings are provided in the mouth region of the barrel.
  • a carriage which has in its inner surface at its, the mouth region of the barrel corresponding section a plurality of annular circumferential grooves, each ending in the finallyligenden gas outlet openings and in which the lying in a plane openings of the gun barrel.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an existing weapon barrel and muzzle brake assembly in which no comparable with known weapon tubes high loads at firing be exerted on the releasably connected to the gun barrel parts of the muzzle brake.
  • the invention is based essentially on the idea of forming the mouth end of the weapon barrel itself as part of the muzzle brake, i. to provide with several annularly around the gun barrel arranged holes.
  • the jacket tube is fixed, which has diametrically opposite, extending in the circumferential direction slot-shaped gas outlet openings.
  • the jacket tube has in its inner surface a plurality of annular grooves, each terminating in the opposite slot-shaped gas outlet openings and in each of which open the lying in a plane openings of the gun barrel.
  • the inventive arrangement of gun barrel and muzzle brake is characterized in that the mouth of the gun barrel is very easy to work.
  • a bumpless passage of the projectiles in the area of the muzzle brake no negative influence on the departure error and thus a high hit accuracy guaranteed.
  • the axially adjacent openings of the weapon barrel in the region of the mouth should preferably be arranged offset from one another.
  • the cross sections of the openings of the weapon barrel in the mouth region can have both the shape of a circle or a slot and the shape of a polygon.
  • Both the size and shape of the openings and the number of openings and the position of the openings in the mouth region of the weapon barrel with respect to the Rohrseelenachse depends on the particular desired effect of the muzzle brake.
  • the muzzle brake 2 comprises the mouth region 3 of the weapon barrel 1 and a jacket tube 4 arranged over the mouth region 3, which is supported at the rear on an annular stop 5 of the weapon barrel 1 and is held on the front side by a threaded onto a thread 6 of the gun barrel 1 screw ring 7.
  • a keyway 8 is provided with a feather key 9 in the jacket tube 4, which engages in a groove, not shown, in the annular stop 5 of the gun barrel 1.
  • both the outer surface 10 of the barrel 1 and the inner surface 11 of the jacket tube 4 have a slightly conical, tapering to the mouth 12 of the barrel 1 course on.
  • a securing piece 13 fastened to the jacket tube 4 on the front side is provided, which engages positively in a serration 14 of the screw ring 7 and secures it against detachment.
  • radially extending bores 16 are provided in a plurality of successively arranged and perpendicular to the soul tube axis 15 of the gun barrel 1 levels, wherein the holes 16 of adjacent planes are arranged offset from one another.
  • the jacket tube 4 arranged above the bores 16 of the weapon barrel 1 has a number of diametrically opposite, slot-shaped gas outlet openings 17 extending diametrically in the circumferential direction and corresponding to the number of bore planes.
  • the jacket tube 4 has on its inner surface 11 annular circumferential grooves 18 which end in the two opposing slot-shaped gas outlet openings 17 and in which those of the lying in a plane holes 16 of the gun barrel 1 open, which do not open directly into the gas outlet openings 17.
  • the arrangement of the lateral Gasaustrittsöfmieux 17 ensures a defined outflow direction of the relaxing propellant charge gases.
  • the size and position of the gas outlet openings 17 affects the size and the range of both the exiting propellant charge gases and the blast pressure.
  • a mouth reference system 19 is further attached to the front.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiment described above.
  • it does not necessarily have to be bores at the mouth-side openings of the weapon barrel, but these openings can, for example, also be designed slot-shaped.
