Description

Beschreibung
Munitionsmagazin
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Munitionsmagazin, bei dem verschiedene Munitionsarten so magaziniert werden können, dass sie mit prozentual wechselnder Patronenzahl, die einsatzbedingt ist, im schnellen Wechsel von einer oder mehreren Waffen verschossen werden.
Beim Verschießen von zwei verschiedenen Munitionsarten aus einer oder mehreren Waffen werden bisher zwei räumlich voneinander getrennt angeordnete Munitionskästen verwendet. Nachteilig ist, dass eine unterschiedliche Beladung der Munitionsarten nur durch Verringerung des Gesamtmunitionsvorrates möglich ist. Beim Beladen muss zudem auf die Lage des Gurtgliedes geachtet werden, d.h., bei gegürteter Munition ist darauf zu achten, dass beide Munitionsarten lagerichtig in den Magazinen verstaut werden.
Aus der DE 36 35 467 C1 ist ein flexibler Gurtkanal zur Zuführung von gegürteter Munition zu einer automatischen Feuerwaffe bekannt.
Eine Vorrichtung zur Zuführung von Munition aus einem stationär angeordneten Munitionsbehälter beschreibt die DE 101 23 835 A1.
Ein Munitionsmagazin ist der DE 42 06 677 C2 entnehmbar.
Eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Patronengurten wird in der DE 35 10 308 C2 offenbart.
Eine Doppel-Patronen-Wechsel-Zuführer wird in der DE 36 27 360 C1 beschrieben.
Eine Vorrichtung zum Zuführen von Munition zu einer Maschinenwaffe liefert die EP 0 0095 570 B1. Von zwei Magazinen aus werden die Patronen der Maschinenwaffe zugeführt, wobei ein einfaches Umschalten der Waffe die Zuführung dieser zwei unterschiedlichen Munitionsarten, wie Sprengmunition einerseits und panzerbrechende Munition andererseits, zur Waffe gewährleistet.
Ausgehend vom letztgenannten Stand der Technik stellt sich die Erfindung die Auf- gäbe, ein Magazin aufzuzeigen, in dem wenigstens zwei verschiedene Munitionsarten abhängig vom Einzelfall mit prozentual wechselnder Patronenzahl ohne Munitionsverlust gelagert werden, um dadurch die Möglichkeit zu schaffen, mit nur einem Magazin unterschiedliche Munitionsarten verschießen zu können.
Gelöst wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.
Der Erfindung liegt die Idee zugrunde, ein Magazin bestehend aus zwei Munitionskanälen mit annähernd rechteckigem bzw. u-förmigen Querschnitt vorzusehen, in dem die Munitionskanäle gemeinsam in beliebiger Form (spiralförmig, oval, recht- eckig usw.) um ein Zentrum (Mittelpunkt) mit einer oder mit mehreren Windungen gewickelt werden. Im Zentrum werden die beiden Enden der Munitionskanäle miteinander verbunden.
Dadurch können abhängig vom Einzelfall im Magazin prozentual unterschiedliche Mengen Munition gelagert werden, ohne die Gesamtzahl der Patronen zu verringern. Das Magazin kann variabel gestaltet werden. So kann z.B. je nach taktischen Erfordernissen das Verhältnis von panzerbrechender Munition (KE-Munition) zu Splittermunition (HE - Munition) angepasst werden.
Das Magazin kann gegurtete und gurtgliedlose Munition, z.B. durch Verwebdung ge- eigneter Fördermittel in den Kanälen, wie beispielsweise Fördersterne, Förderbänder etc., aufnehmen. Bei Verwendung von gegürteter Munition werden die Gurtglieder für beide Munitionsarten in immer gleicher Ausrichtung in das Magazin eingebracht. Lagerbar sind das Magazin in allen Lagen, wie horizontal, vertikal oder schräg im Raum.
Die Munitionskanäle können durch Fräsen aus Vollmaterial, durch Aufschweißen von Blechen auf einer Grundplatte , durch Biegen von Hohlprofilen, durch Gießen etc. aus beliebigen Materialien hergestellt werden. Anhand von Ausführungsbeispielen soll die Erfindung näher erläutert werden. Es zeigt:
Fig. 1 eine Schnittdarstellung einer ersten Variante der Beladung, Fig. 2 eine Schnittdarstellung einer zweiten Variante der Beladung,
Fig. eine Schnittdarstellung einer weiteren Variante der Beladung.
In den Fig. 1 bis 3 sind mit 1 ein Munitionsmagazin (Magazin), mit 2 eine erste Munition in einem ersten Munitionskanal 3 und mit 4 eine zweite, beispielsweise anderen Munition in einem Munitionskanal 5 gekennzeichnet. Die Munition 2 und die Munition 4 werden jeweils einer nicht näher dargestellten Waffe in Richtung M1 bzw. M2 zugeführt. Die zeichnerisch nicht näher erkennbaren Munitionskanalenden innerhalb des Magazins 1 sind miteinander verbunden.
In Fig. 1 wird die Munition 2 mit 36 % im Munitionskanal 3 und die Munition 4 mit 64 % im Munitionskanal 5 gegurtet, in Fig. 2 mit 13 % und 87% und in Fig. 3 mit 71% und 29%.
In der Praxis bedeutet dies bei einer Munitionsbestückung von beispielsweise insgesamt 200 Patronen, dass beispielsweise nur 200 panzerbrechende Patronen (Muniti- on 2) oder nur 200 Flugabwehrpatronen (Munition 4) in den Munitionskanälen 3, 5 eingebunden sind. Nach Fig. 1 können dann beispielsweise 72 panzerbrechende (Munition 2) über den Munitionskanal 3 und 128 Flugabwehrpatronen (Splittermunition) als Munition 4 über den Munitionskanal 5 der Waffe zugeführt werden usw. .
Die beiden Munitionskanäle 3, 5 sind ineinander verschlungen um einen Mittelpunkt innerhalb des Magazins 1 gewickelt. Vorzugsweise sind die Munitionskanäle 3, 5 parallel und nicht mäanderförmig gewickelt. Dies hat den Vorteil einer geringeren Reibung bei der Zuführung der Munitionen 2, 4 zur Waffe.
Es versteht sich, dass sich das Prinzip auch bei einer nicht gegürteter Munition anwenden lässt.
