Definitions

  • the DE 707 201 C describes a gun barrel with a pipe casing which surrounds the gun barrel and is provided in the front area with a support which allows a return of the gun barrel.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a small- or medium caliber machine gun, in which the gun barrel is supported so that the radial amplitudes of the gun barrel occurring during firing are reduced as a result of pipe vibrations.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to surround the weapon barrel with a pipe support which is guided to just behind the region of the mouth of the weapon barrel.
  • This pipe support is firmly connected to the weapon mount or the cradle and stiffened so stiffened that it counteracts the occurring pipe vibrations.
  • This story about arranged in the pipe support support elements whose distance from the outer wall of the gun barrel is dimensioned so that an unobstructed return of the gun tube is guaranteed, but transmitted radial vibrations or bending of the gun barrel of these support elements on the pipe support and are caught by this.
  • the pipe support can be made in lightweight construction and the shaping can be such that a high rigidity is achieved. Due to the lightweight construction, a reasonable degree of imbalance can be achieved, so that in stabilized systems, the stabilization quality is not significantly adversely affected.
  • the pipe support is basically designed as a tubular element whose inner diameter is larger by a predetermined amount than the outer diameter of the gun barrel.
  • the pipe element may have different cross sections.
  • its inner cross section is at least on one of the mouth of the gun barrel facing portion of its length oval, elliptical or polygonal, such as diamond-shaped.
  • cross sections with different inner diameters is provided according to the second embodiment of the invention that the inner diameter in the elevation direction of the movement of the gun barrel is greater than the inner diameter in the azimuth direction.
  • the tubular element with a circular inner cross-section has at least over part of its length a top piece, which may be arranged for example on the top of the tubular element and has a substantially V- or U-shaped cross-section and which is placed such that between Pipe element and attachment piece a continuous channel is formed.
  • This top piece serves on the one hand to further stiffen the construction of the pipe support and also has the advantage that can be passed through the designed as a continuous channel interior in a gun barrel with electrical components in the mouth of the gun barrel electrical leads.
  • FIGS. 1 to 5 show the barrel 1 of a machine gun, not shown otherwise, which is mounted in an only indicated weapon mount 2.
  • a pipe support is arranged, which has a tubular element 3, which is guided by the weapon barrel 1 to the area immediately behind the mouth 1.1 of the gun barrel 1 surrounding the barrel 1, with additional muzzle assemblies, such as a muzzle brake and electronic assemblies , may be provided, which are known per se and are not described in detail.
  • muzzle assemblies such as a muzzle brake and electronic assemblies
  • supporting elements 4 are arranged at the front end.
  • the arrangement is Fig. 5 to take more precisely.
  • the support elements 4 are distributed on the circumference of the tubular element at an angular distance of about 120 ° and firmly connected to the tubular element 3.
  • the distance between the support elements 4 of the outer wall of the gun barrel 1 is such that on the one hand unimpeded return of the gun barrel 1 under all conditions, including at elevated temperature is ensured, but received radial vibrations or bending of the gun barrel 1 of the support elements 4 and be transferred to the pipe element 3.
  • Fig. 3 As Fig. 3 can be seen, 3 further support elements 5 and 6 are distributed over the length of the tubular element.
  • the tubular element 3 may have 1 different length over its length, depending on the thickness of the gun barrel. Thus, for example, in the rear thickened region 1.2 of the gun barrel, the inner diameter of the tubular element 3 is greater than at the front end and the support elements 6 are adjusted accordingly.
  • a top section 3.1 is arranged over part of its length, which, like Fig. 5 can be seen, has a substantially V-shaped or U-shaped, rounded cross-section and is welded with its free ends to the tubular element 3.
  • This attachment 3.1 not only serves to further stiffen the pipe support, but its interior is a passage 3.2, through which electrical lines can be performed in a manner not shown, arranged in the mouth region 1.1 of the gun barrel, electronic components with signal and evaluation units, not shown connect.
  • the pipe support is stiffened by a further attachment piece 3.3.
  • the walls of the tubular element 3 are provided with laterally disposed, extending in the longitudinal direction air passage slots 7.
