Definitions
- the invention is concerned with a multi-tube weapon, in particular with a single and / or multiple supply of ammunition.
- US 1 856 022 A relates to a machine gun and handgun with two gun barrels.
- the loading of the ammunition takes place through a slot in the closure or weapon housing.
- the individual projectiles together with propellant charge are connected to each other via connecting tracks and are pushed through a kind of ratchet through the slot in the weapon.
- the band is separated by a knife assembly.
- the bullet comes to rest in a cartridge chamber of the weapon in front of the shutter. Thereafter, the projectile and the closure are transferred to a so-called closed position and ignited the propellant charge by means of a compressed gas.
- DE 44 23 750 A1 discloses an automatic monotube firearm for endlessly deliverable cartridge ammunition.
- Two counter-rotating drums are used, each with six symmetrically arranged, movably mounted half-chambers. These form between the two drums directly opposite the barrel a completely closed cartridge chamber. Simultaneously with the opposite rotation of the drums of the cartridge belt is moved through the respective chamber with. Between the drums will be there a temporarily closed, the combustion gas pressure-resistant cartridge chamber formed.
- Federeiemente provide the half-chambers for the purpose of optimal transportability of the cartridge belt in the most favorable pivoting direction before engaging in the cartridge belt.
- a firing of the firing pin via a toothing of a control disc and whenever it is ensured that the chamber is completely closed.
- the rotation of the half chambers via gears of a pneumatic gear motor, which is driven by the returned muzzle gases. This results in a somewhat shorter construction and a much higher rate of fire (cadence).
- WO 2011/046653 A9 deals with a multi-tube weapon. In each of the two rollers, a gap for the ammunition itself is bounded peripherally.
- a lightweight multi-tube weapon in which a belt system or the belt members of this system creates or create a replacement cartridge storage and belt or the respective belt member forms the actual cartridge chamber of the weapon.
- the belt with the ammunition / cartridge contained therein is supported by the weapon or the closure and thereby teilverwaitt.
- the Operaverhuntung is realized by a roller shutter - similar to an open-chamber closure system - with two stars or rollers, a top roller and a holding roller, which in opposite directions rotationally receive the belt member in a firing position. Due to the fact that the belt system forms the replacement cartridge storage, an exact ammunition supply or belt feed must be made into the weapon system.
- the invention has the object to show such.
- the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.
- Advantageous embodiments are shown in the subclaims.
- a multi-tube weapon which comprises a so-called roll closure - similar to an open-chamber closure system - with two stars, which receive the belt member in the firing position in opposite directions
- the invention is based on the idea for an exact guidance of the ammunition or ammunition belt slots in the stars or in the top roller and the holding roller circumferentially introduce.
- This is assigned an ammunition guide, along which the ammunition belt is guided.
- These are involved a corresponding number of slots in the stars or rollers.
- the slots allow the stars or rollers to rotate while the guide (s) are themselves held arm-resistant.
- Parts of the roller shutter can be an integral part of the barrel of the multi-tube weapon itself.
- the second star or the holding roller can be decoupled from the barrel bundle.
- a separable connection between the barrel and the star should be provided in the axis of rotation over which the star and the shutter can be rotated with.
- the geometry of the guide is (belt guide) aligned in the region of the firing position in approximately the radius of the tube bundle.
- the guide (s) via the guide (s) the possibility is created to decouple the ammunition or the belt system from the weapon system and / or to couple it again. This is achieved in that in addition to the decoupling or the removal of the star or the roller, the / is not functionally dependent on the barrel bundle, the guide (s) are guided out of the weapon system. Accordingly, / the guide (s) can be moved or adjusted via the weapon-resistant holder.
- This separate supply and the extraction and coupling of the feeders in the weapon system has the advantage that when fired ammunition from ammunition box, etc., fired the ammunition of the other, cooperating with the other supply ammunition box and the empty can be repopulated, without loss of function the weapon. Also, different types of ammunition can be fired.
- Fig. 1 is a representation of the integration of the guides in the weapon system for the
- 3 shows a supply of an ammunition in an upper firing position in a kind of cut plan view
- 4 shows two feeds of the ammunition into two different shot positions in a kind of cut plan view, wherein both feeds are engaged
- Fig. 6 both feeders in the handle with their shot positions.
- a multi-tube weapon or weapon system 1 is shown, as it is already known from DE 10 2010 017 876 A and to which reference is hereby made.
- This has a plurality of tubes 3, which rotate as a barrel 4 around a central axis A.
- the multi-tube weapon 1 has two counter-intermeshing stars 5, 6 or rollers preferably a roller shutter (11), which in turn have a number of (semi-) shells corresponding to the number of tubes 3, wherein the stars 5, 6 be driven by an electric drive 2.
- These stars 5, 6 in turn form the described in DE 10 2010 017 876 A Teüverschschsch for a belt member 13.1 of a belt link belt 13, in which both surround the respectively supplied belt member 13.1 in a firing position 8 (23).
- the drive transmission at least to the star 6 via a plurality of drive wheels 7, 8, 9 and 10.
- the star 6 in turn preferably forms the closure 11 for all tubes. 3
- the closure or the closure part 11 has a plurality of firing pin 12, which are aligned in the same number as the gun barrels 3 on this, each firing 3 is assigned a firing pin 12.
- the closure member 11 with the firing pin 12 rotates with the Laufbündei 4 in the same frequency.
- the triggering is realized with a firing plate 25 which is integrated at the rear end of the closure part 1 1 and the corresponding firing pin 12 triggers.
- circumferentially (radial) slots 14, 15 are provided in the stars 5, 6 for receiving an ammunition guide 16 (FIG. 2).
- an ammunition guide 16 FIG. 2
- the webbing 13 and the Gurtgüeder 13.1 of the multi-tube weapon 1 are supplied, it being provided that these guides 16 is tuned to a Munitionsbox not shown. in this, the belt member 13 may be wound wrapped, pulling this from the Weapon 1 is supplied.
- Alternatives are a bar magazine or spiral magazine with a bias.
- FIG. 3 shows a single feed 30 of the ammunition 17 in a firing position 18.
- the guide 16 is for its part tuned to the radius of the tube bundle 4 and has a curved portion 19 in which the belt member 13.1 forming the cartridge chamber is in the middle position ,
- the guide 16 is also executed in its curve portion 19 so that the ammunition 17 and the shutter 11 in the firing position 18 a small way or angle together with the barrel 4 and the barrel 3 can be rotated with.
- the transfer takes 9.1 to the firing position and out of this addition 9.2.
- Fig. 4 shows a dual ammunition feeder 30, 40 for a possible increase in the cadence.
- a further drive 21 is integrated into the system 1 at the point B (FIG. 1), which has the same or similar construction (tooth or drive wheels) as the upper drive 2.
- a co-operating with the drive wheel star 24 together with the star 6 a lower Operaverhuntung for the belt member 20 and thereby a lower firing position 23. It is possible to shoot in both shot positions 18, 23, with a slight time shift between the two shots is.
- the ammunition 17 and the shutter 1 in the shot positions 18, 23 a small path or angle together with the Laufbünde] 4 and the barrel 3 can be rotated or a barrel bundle is used with odd number of strokes.
- the geometry can also be modified in order to realize a time-delayed shooting of two or more runners 3. In this case! For example, no uniform arrangement of the sub-chambers would be conceivable.
- Fig. 5 shows a variant of the feed.
- the upper feeder 30 is disconnected from the system 1 in this case, only in the lower firing position 23 is triggered.
- This allows the shooting of another or different type of ammunition without major refitting, so that different ammunition 17 from different feeders 30, 40 can be fired, in FIG. 6 both feeders 30, 40 are decoupled from the weft positions 18, 23.
- the decoupling is realized by a preferably mechanical adjustment of the independent of the tube bundle 4 star 5, 24.
- the guides 6 are weapons side involved so that they at least when removing the star 5, 24 from the weapon system 1, (ie the part that is independent of the barrel 4) from the star 6, ⁇ ie the part that with the running frets! 4 interacts,) can be taken out or lifted out.
- the feeders 30, 40 are / is decoupled from the system 1.
- the respective ammunition 17 taken out of the weapon system 1 the tube bundle 4 not further supplied, but can be coupled again when needed.
- the number of feeders 30, 40 is not limited to two. Thus, in a simple manner, more than two, for example, four supplies, possible. The number of feeds is in turn dependent on the circumference of the tube bundle 4 and to a considerable extent from the existing installation space of the weapon. 1
