Description

The invention relates to hand-held grenade launchers (RPGs), reusable, mounted under the barrel of a small weapon: Kalashnikov assault rifle, most of its modifications and subsequent new developments. For the first time adopted into service during the Second World War, grenade launchers showed their significance. This was confirmed by the fighting in local wars and special operations. The grenade launcher is designed to combat the open manpower of the enemy, as well as manpower located in open trenches, trenches and on the reverse slopes of the terrain. The prototype of this development is the 40-mm grenade launchers GP-25 and GP-30.

The main difference between the RGMK and its existing analogues is the modified mounting bracket and the use of a new specially designed for it shot (VOG), equipped with four fragmentation grenades VOG-25 or VOG-25P, placed in a cartridge located in front of the powder propellant jet engine. The cartridge is fastened to the engine by a hard landing, forming a single whole, which ensures reliable delivery of the projectile to the target.

The use of RGMK increases the range of the shot and the area of damage. This is achieved thanks to the cartridge engine and the presence of each of the four VOG its own engine, included in the work at the time of opening the cartridge. The opening of the cartridge is carried out by a charge placed between the jet engine (powder propellant charge) and the tail of the cartridge. The cassette body consists of a tube with a jet engine and a head part in the form of a cone-shaped fairing, in which four FOGs are placed. The outer diameter of the cassette motor case corresponds to a VOG-25 shot with 12 leading protrusions, the length of the cassette engine is equal to the length of the GP-30 barrel.

A feature of this development is the possibility of firing a shot from a standard VOG cassette, as well as a shot from the armament VOG-25 and VOG-25P and their modifications. The RGMK cluster shot is safer during transportation and carrying, since the head fuses of four VOGs are placed in the cartridge and are protected from accidental shocks and blows, which ensures safer handling of this munition.

Technical results that can be obtained by using the invention are: reliability of weapons; the use of a cluster shot with an increased aiming range and a larger area of destruction of enemy manpower; the use of cluster VOG along with the existing VOG-25 and VOG-25P and their modifications in service.

Detailed description

Created on the basis of new solutions RGMK is a continuation of the development of rocket launchers and shots to them with an increase in the range of the shot and the area of destruction, differs from analogues in the presence of a cartridge equipped with four VOG-25 shots and their modifications.

The cartridge (figure-1) is a powder engine (1), made in the form of a tube, and the head part (2), consisting of two hollow conical flaps to accommodate four FOGs in containers (3) or other charges combined over landing nodes and secured by a check (lock) (4).

The head of the cassette is equipped with a retainer ring-retainer (3) with a seal (6), which provides a hard landing on the landing unit (7); the motor housing inside has a mounting bracket (8) for the checks.

On the outer side of the engine, 12 leading protrusions (9) are made with a step corresponding to the GP stem. A propellant charge (10) is placed in the bottom of the engine casing together with an ignition device driven by the trigger mechanism of the grenade launcher. The ignited propellant charge (10) of the engine (1) is pushed out of the grenade launcher toward the target. During the flight, the propellant is burned (10) and the powder propellant is ignited from it by the head of the cartridge (11). As a result, the head of the cartridge (2) is pushed out of the seat, being released from the latch (5) and the checks (4); the flaps of the head part (2) held by the stops by the checks (12) are opened. From the charge of the cartridge (11), the propellant charges of four FOGs placed in containers (3) are ignited. After the ignition of the propellant charges, the VOG shots continue to move toward the target by a divided group.

RGMk was created on the basis of GP-25 and GP-30, changes were made to allow the firing of a developed cluster VOG. For this, the mounting bracket to the trunk of the RGMK (figure - 2) and the locking mechanism (figure - 3) are changed. Changed the length of the latch (14); the locking lever (13) is pivotally connected to the pusher (15), by means of which it acts on the transmission lever (16). Barrel (17), breech (18) and other nodes are left unchanged.

Claims (1)

A reusable grenade launcher mounted on a small arms, equipped with a barrel, a trigger mechanism, the shot of which is based on the principle of the propellant’s combustion, allowing the grenade to be thrown at a distance and its subsequent explosion, characterized in that it contains a cartridge with a propelling charge to increase the firing range and increased area of destruction due to grenades placed in the container and independently continuing the flight after opening the cartridge and firing individual throwing charges rows of container grenades each providing an increase in the throwing range and lesion area.
