Description

The invention relates to a magazine for an automatic firing weapon according to the preamble of claim 1, in particular for caseless ammunition.

An automatic firing weapon acts by repelling forces on the weapon game and the vibration of the weapon barrel, so that such a known automatic firing weapons have a relatively large Treffung scattering also automatically firing weapons tend to buckle up against the restraining forces, d. H. The weapon rises from shot to shot. The unchecked influence of such a gradual ascent d. H. Aufbäumens is trying to counteract that automatic or shooter-related Schusszahlbegrenzung applies. However, this is only partially possible, because long bursts are common. Such long bursts are usually a waste of ammunition.

A conventional automatic firing weapon executes a retrace damping stroke with each shot. This return path can be a few millimeters to a few centimeters. After the rebound damping stroke, the weapon is thrown back to the starting position.

The ammunition feed transport and the ammunition feed are thus usually in a defined position. The magazine or the magazine belt feed is usually also fixed.

For an automatic firing weapon, in particular for caseless ammunition, wherein the weapon is guided linearly movable in a housing in its axial longitudinal direction, so that the weapon during a burst of fire in the housing unrestrained one defined, relatively long return path runs, which is determined and limited by a return damper, as described in the DE patent application .... (our file D 2004/044), such a fixed magazine or belt feed mean that the whole magazine would have to constantly run back with the weapon with the entire amount of ammunition. With a belt feed it would be possible to pull the ammunition belt back and forth in large loops.

In view of these circumstances, the invention has for its object to provide a magazine for an automatic shooting weapon of the type mentioned, in which the magazine with the total amount of ammunition not always run back with the weapon or the Gurtzuführer the Munitionsgurt not in large loops out and have to tug at it.

This object is achieved according to the invention in an automatically firing weapon of the type mentioned by the features of the characterizing part of claim 1.

Preferred embodiments or further developments of the automatic firing weapon according to the invention are characterized in the subclaims.

In the automatic firing weapon according to the invention a main magazine for a large number of powder body and a main magazine for a large number of projectile body is attached to the weapon housing and the unobstructed in the longitudinal direction of the weapon housing during a fire burst in the weapon housing a defined, relatively long return path back moving weapon has accompanying part magazine for a small number of powder body and a revolving part magazine for a small number of powder body corresponding small number of projectile body on. At the returning weapon so a relatively small sub-magazine with a limited, defined capacity for powder body and a corresponding sub-magazine for projectile body is provided. These two sub-magazines bring along the return movement of the weapon. The attached to the weapon housing main magazine for powder body and attached to the weapon housing main magazine for projectile body passes after each firing burst a certain small number of powder body and projectile body in the respective sub-magazine of the weapon.

In the automatic firing weapon according to the invention, the two main magazines and the two partial magazines may be formed as shaft magazines. The magazines can also be designed as drum magazines or, for example, as bar magazines.

According to the invention, it is also possible that the two main magazines have a Gurtzuführeinrichtung for strapped powder body and an associated powder body feed star and Gurtzuführeinrichtung for strapped projectile body and an associated projectile body feed star, wherein the powder body feed star and the projectile body feed star are mounted axially parallel in the weapon housing , and that the two sub-magazines have a take-over star associated with the projectile body feed star and a take-over star associated with the powder-body feed star, which are mounted axially parallel to one another and to the two feed stars of the feed stars mounted on the weapon housing.

The two small sub-magazines of the weapon are preferably provided axially offset on opposite sides of the weapon barrel of the weapon and in the longitudinal direction, so that the magazines of the automatic firing weapon according to the invention do not interfere with each other.

Each of the two small sub-magazines of the weapon is assigned a cross slide. Each of the two cross slide is suitably associated with a feed.

In the formation of the automatic shooting weapon according to the invention with Gurtzuführeinrichtungen the respective Gurtzuführeinrichtung pulls the associated belt so far until a predetermined number of shots is bunkered in the associated small sub-magazine, which is needed for a defined burst of fire. Thereafter, the corresponding belt is separated. The revolving belt feeder positions the ammunition in the loading position. After returning to the normal position, the respective belt feeder pulls the next required number of shots into the associated small sub-magazine and cuts off the belt again. This process is repeated.

In the automatic firing weapon according to the invention, therefore, a corresponding large or main magazine in the basic position of the weapon, for example, transfers loading strips with a defined amount of ammunition. The ammunition tracking movement in the respective sub-magazine can be realized for example by spring pressure or by a positive control by means of control cam.
Further details, features and advantages will become apparent from the following description of exemplary embodiments of the automatic shooting weapon according to the invention shown in the drawing.
