Abstract

Eine klein- oder mittelkalibrige Maschinenkanone mit einem in einer Waffenaufnahme oder Wiege gelagerten Waffenrohr. Das Waffenrohr ist von einer an der Waffenaufnahme (2) oder Wiege befestigten und sich bis in den Bereich unmittelbar hinter der Mündung (1.1) des Waffenrohres (1) erstreckenden Rohrabstützung umgeben. Diese besitzt ein das Waffenrohr (1) umfassendes Rohrelement (3), dessen Innendurchmesser größer ist als der Außendurchmesser des Waffenrohres (1) und zwischen der Innenwand des Rohrelements (3) und der Außenwand des Waffenrohres sind mindestens am vorderen Ende des Rohrelements (3) Abstützelemente (4, 5, 6) angeordnet, die mit dem Rohrelement (3) verbunden sind und deren Abstand von der Außenwand des Waffenrohres (1) so bemessen ist, dass ein ungehinderter Rücklauf des Waffenrohres gewährleistet ist, aber radialen Schwingungen oder Verbiegungen des Waffenrohres (1) mittels der Abstützelemente (4, 5, 6) entgegengewirkt wird.

Figure imgaf001
A small- or medium-caliber machine gun with a weapon barrel stored in a weapon mount or cradle. The weapon barrel is surrounded by a pipe support attached to the weapon mount (2) or cradle and extending into the area immediately behind the mouth (1.1) of the weapon barrel (1). This has a the weapon barrel (1) comprehensive tubular element (3) whose inner diameter is greater than the outer diameter of the gun barrel (1) and between the inner wall of the tubular element (3) and the outer wall of the gun barrel are at least at the front end of the tubular element (3). Supporting elements (4, 5, 6) are arranged, which are connected to the tubular element (3) and whose distance from the outer wall of the gun barrel (1) is dimensioned so that an unobstructed return of the gun barrel is ensured, but radial vibrations or bending of the gun barrel (1) by means of the support elements (4, 5, 6) is counteracted.
