Abstract

Vorgeschlagen werden eine Vorrichtung und ein Verfahren zur Ermittlung des Verschleißes eines Rohres einer Waffe (12) mit einem Schusszähler (1), umfassend einen Mikrocontroller (2), der eine Impulsfolge der Schüsse auswertet, wobei, wenn ein Schuss sich in einem vorgegebenen Schusszyklus befindet, ein scharfer Schuss erkannt und der Schusszähler (1) um "1" erhöht wird, während beim Beladen und / oder Entladen der Waffe dieser vorgegebene Schusszyklus überschritten wird, sodass dieser nicht mitgezählt und der Schusszähler (1) nicht erhöht wird, und aus der als scharfer Schuss erkannten Schussanzahl im Schusszähler (1) Rückschlüsse auf den Verschleiß des Rohres gezogen werden können.

Figure imgaf001
A device and a method for determining the wear of a tube of a weapon (12) with a shot counter (1), comprising a microcontroller (2), which evaluates a pulse train of the shots, wherein when a shot is in a predetermined firing cycle are proposed , a sharp shot detected and the shot counter (1) is increased by "1", while loading and / or unloading the weapon of this predetermined firing cycle is exceeded, so this is not counted and the shot counter (1) is not increased, and from the As a sharp shot detected number of shots in the shot counter (1) conclusions on the wear of the tube can be drawn.
