Definitions

  • the invention relates to a small- or medium-caliber machine gun with a weapon barrel stored in a weapon holder or cradle, the weapon barrel being attached to the weapon holder or cradle and, taking into account the pipe return, extending into the area immediately behind the muzzle of the weapon barrel is surrounded, which is designed as a tubular element encompassing the weapon barrel on all sides, the inner diameter of which is larger than the outer diameter of the weapon barrel by a predetermined amount, support elements being arranged between the inner wall of the tubular element and the outer wall of the weapon barrel at least at the front end of the tubular element, which are fixed are connected to the tubular element and their distance from the outer wall of the gun barrel is such that the unimpeded return of the gun barrel is guaranteed, but radial vibrations or bending of the gun barrel by means of the support elements is counteracted.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a small or medium caliber machine gun, in which the weapon barrel is supported such that the radial amplitudes of the gun barrel occurring during firing are reduced as a result of barrel vibrations.
  • a basic idea of the invention is to surround the weapon barrel with a tube support which is guided directly behind the area of the mouth of the weapon barrel.
  • This tube support is firmly connected to the weapon holder or the cradle and stiffened in such a way that it counteracts the tube vibrations that occur. This is done via support elements arranged in the barrel support, the distance from the outer wall of the gun barrel is such that an unobstructed return of the barrel is guaranteed, but radial vibrations or bending of the barrel are transmitted from these support elements to the barrel support and are absorbed by the latter.
  • the pipe support can be lightweight and the shape can be such that high rigidity is achieved. Due to the lightweight construction, a reasonable degree of imbalance can be achieved, so that the stabilization quality is not significantly adversely affected in stabilized systems.
  • the barrel support is basically designed as a barrel element, the inside diameter of which is larger than the outside diameter of the weapon barrel by a predetermined amount.
  • the tubular element can have different cross sections.
  • its inner cross section can be circular, oval, elliptical or even polygonal, for example diamond-shaped, on at least a portion of its length facing the mouth of the weapon barrel.
  • cross-sections with different inside diameters it has proven to be advantageous if the inside diameter in the direction of elevation of the movement of the weapon barrel is larger than the inside diameter in the azimuth direction.
  • the tubular element with a circular inner cross-section has at least part of its length an attachment piece, which can be arranged, for example, on the top of the tubular element and has an essentially V-shaped or U-shaped cross-section and which is placed such that between Pipe element and top piece a continuous channel is formed.
  • This attachment piece serves on the one hand to further stiffen the construction of the tube support and also has the advantage that, due to the interior formed as a continuous channel, in the case of a weapon barrel with electrical assemblies in the area of the muzzle electrical leads can be passed through the gun barrel.
  • the Figures 1 to 5 show the gun barrel 1 of a machine gun, not shown, which is mounted in an only indicated weapon holder 2.
  • a tube support is arranged, which has a tube element 3, which is guided around the weapon barrel 1 from the weapon receptacle 2 to the area immediately behind the muzzle 1.1 of the weapon barrel 1, which has additional muzzle assemblies, such as a muzzle brake and electronic assemblies , can be provided, which are known per se and are not described in detail.
  • the distance between the front end of the tubular element 3 and the mouth of the weapon barrel is selected so that the barrel return is taken into account and can proceed unhindered.
  • an attachment piece 3.1 is arranged over part of its length, which, as Fig. 5 can be seen, has a substantially V or U-shaped, rounded cross section and is welded with its free ends to the tubular element 3.
  • This attachment piece 3.1 not only serves to further stiffen the tube support, but its interior represents a through-channel 3.2, through which electrical lines can be guided in a manner not shown, the electronic assemblies arranged in the mouth region 1.1 of the weapon barrel, with signal and evaluation units (not shown) connect.
  • the tube support is stiffened by a further attachment piece 3.3.
  • the walls of the tubular element 3 are provided with laterally arranged, longitudinal air passage slots 7.
