Definitions
- the invention relates to a silencer for a handgun, a handgun with a silencer according to the invention, and a method for mounting a silencer according to the invention on a handgun.
- handguns long weapons are understood, which possess a muzzle brake in contrast to handguns.
- the silencer reduces only the sound emission, which from the outflowing from the muzzle, under high pressure and exploding explosive gases.
- the silencer also suppresses the muzzle flash, so that there are advantages in night operations using night vision devices.
- a variety of handguns are equipped with a muzzle brake, as in particular in the assault rifle "Steyr AUG 77" known.
- a muzzle brake is a device on the barrel of such firearms that uses the energy of the combustion gases to reduce the recoil of the barrel. Muzzle brakes are mainly used on machine guns and guns, but more rarely on handguns.
- the muzzle brake consists in a conventional manner of one or more before the muzzle mounted baffles, which are firmly connected to the pipe. These baffles have an opening for the passage of the projectile whose diameter is 1.1 times the Geschoßkalibers.
- the invention is therefore the object of developing a handgun with muzzle brake of the type mentioned so that at this a muffler can be attached.
- the invention is characterized by the technical teaching of claim 1.
- An essential feature of the invention is that now attached to the gun barrel muzzle brake is connected via a screw with the muffler.
- This is a novel type of attachment, because so far it was not possible to connect muzzle brakes directly with a silencer via a screw connection. So far, the muzzle brake was dismantled and then the muffler attached, or the use of a muffler was not possible from the outset. This is where the invention, which allows an easily detachable connection between the muzzle brake and a muffler to be placed thereon via a screw connection according to the invention.
- the muzzle brake in the region of its front end has a ring projection which forms an internal thread which cooperates with an external thread of a threaded sleeve of the muffler as a screw connection. It is advantageous if the outer sleeve of the muffler forming jacket sleeve is connected to the radial connecting walls with an inner, lijnsaxial aligned pipe jacket, at the front end of the threaded sleeve is arranged with the pointing in the axial direction of external thread. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the inner tube shell of the muffler completely encloses the muzzle brake.
- This threaded sleeve with external thread arranged in the muffler approximately in the central region cooperates with the internal thread at the front end of the muzzle brake and forms the screw connection according to the invention.
- Another advantage is that, in the region of this longitudinal bore, the explosion gases escaping from the muzzle brake are received in a number of uniformly distributed circumferential bores, which are connected in an air-tight manner to an expansion chamber arranged on the outer circumference of the longitudinal bore, which receives these explosive gases. Furthermore, it is essential that this explosion chamber is connected in an air-tight manner to the further gas chamber adjoining it in the axial direction and the air-tight connection takes place in that longitudinal bores are arranged in the connecting wall which separates the expansion chamber from the gas chamber adjoining in the axial direction.
- the gases collected in the expansion chamber must flow under relaxation through the longitudinal bores in the connecting wall in the axial direction of the muffler and then flow into the adjoining gas chamber.
- annular lamellae which are parallel to one another and form a mutual distance are arranged in the gas chamber, which form expansion spaces between them.
- Fig. 1 is a side view of an assault rifle with attached silencer according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a section through a muffler according to the invention in the mounted state on a muzzle brake.
- Fig. 3 is a section through the muffler of FIG. 2 at removed
- FIG. 1 shows an assault rifle as a recoil-loaded firearm 1, on whose gun barrel 3 a muzzle brake 4 is fastened, which is connected to a silencer 2.
- the muzzle brake 4 can be firmly connected to the gun barrel 3.
- the muzzle brake 4 can also be releasably connected, for example via a screw thread with the gun barrel 3.
- a muzzle brake 4 is arranged at the front of the gun barrel 3, wherein the weapon barrel 3 forms a threaded projection 5 with an external thread on which the muzzle brake 4 is screwed.
- the sealing of the muzzle brake to the rear via a snap ring 6, and there are also still annular grooves 7 available, can be inserted into the appropriate sealing rings.
- the muzzle brake 4 forms in the front region a series of circumferentially uniformly distributed slots 9, through which the explosion gases can escape radially outward.
- the muzzle brake may also have a number of holes through which the explosive gases can also escape radially outward.
- the front end of the muzzle brake 4 is formed by a ring lug 10 which forms an annular stop 15 and which has an internal thread 12 as part of the threaded connection 11 according to the invention.
- the muzzle brake 4 is thus inserted into the receiving bore 29 of the muffler 2 extending in the axial direction, whereby an excellent tilt-free guide according to FIG. 2 is ensured.
- the longitudinal bore 8, which forms the firing channel in the weapon barrel 3, thus discharges into the interior of the muzzle brake 4 according to FIG. 2.
- the muffler 2 is now placed and pushed onto the muzzle brake 4 until the external thread 13 of a threaded sleeve 14 arranged in the interior of the muffler 2 comes into contact with the internal thread 12 of the muzzle brake 4.
- the threaded sleeve 14 according to the invention is part of the interior of the silencer 2 and is connected to a pipe jacket 16 arranged in the silencer interior via a connecting wall 20.
- the connecting wall 20 in turn is material integral with the threaded sleeve 14 formed.
- the connecting wall 20 is preferably made of material in one piece via a further connecting wall 18 to the inner circumference of the jacket sleeve 28 of the muffler 2 on.
- the tube jacket 16, which is reduced in diameter relative to the outer jacket sleeve 28, is preferably materially connected to the jacket sleeve 28 at its rear end via a sleeve part 27.
- the muffler 2 may also be configured in two parts, wherein a first part is formed by the threaded sleeve 14, the connecting wall 20 and the tube jacket 16, and the second part is formed by the jacket sleeve 28, the connecting wall 18 and the sleeve part 27.
- the connection of the first part with the second part can take place via a screw thread in the region of the sleeve part 27, whereby an internal thread is provided on the sleeve part 27 and an external thread corresponding to the internal thread is provided at the rear end of the pipe jacket 16.
- the production of the silencer according to the invention can be simplified.
- different materials can be provided for both parts.
- the first part may be made of a metal, for example.
- the second part may for example be made of a composite material such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
- the two-part embodiment of the muffler is possible in all of the embodiments of the invention shown here.
- the shot channel 22 passes through this gas chamber 25 and opens into the mouth opening 23 of the muffler 2, where the projectile leaves the muffler in the direction of arrow 24.
- the slots 9 or the bores in the muzzle brake 4 can correspond at least partially to the transverse bores 17 or muffler. th, so that a substantially unhindered escape of the explosive gases from the interior 34 of the muzzle brake 4 is made possible.
- the internals arranged there can be formed in different shapes. As a preferred example, an installation of annular blades 30 shown in FIG. 3 is shown.
- annular lamellae are approximately semicircular shaped wall bodies, which are penetrated in their middle region by the firing channel 22.
- the firing channel 22 is in this case formed as a bore through the annular blades 30.
- Each ring blade 30 forms an expansion space 31 in conjunction with the adjacent and spaced-apart, further annular lamella, so that a number of expansion spaces 31 are formed in the gas chamber 25, which lead to a suppression and calming of the explosion gases.
- the opportunity is offered for the first time to attach the muzzle brake directly in the interior of the muffler via a screw connection.
- a shooting cup such as a garnet shooting cup, an additional barrel or a laser attachment in such a way that it can be detachably fastened to the muzzle brake.
