Description

The invention relates to automatic small arms, mainly to machine guns, and can also be used in robotic complexes.

Known multiple weapons in which the box with cartridges is located above the barrel, the cartridges in the box are slanted and feed back (see US Pat. GB 191516038 (A) - 1919-03-27).

A disadvantage of the known device is the limited capacity of the box, low reliability due to the high probability of jamming of the cartridge. In addition, placing the store in a known device makes the barrel heavier and makes shooting difficult.

Known machine gun M-60, containing a barrel, butt, trigger and a box with a tape located to the left side of the barrel (figure 1), however, such a mount makes the weapon unbalanced about the axis of the barrel and makes it difficult to shoot from the shoulder.

Also known is a multi-shot weapon containing a barrel, a butt, a trigger mechanism and a box with cartridges, located below the barrel outside the section of the input window of the tape receiver and made in the form of a semicircle. This device is the closest to the proposed (see GB 127278 (A) - 1919-06-05).

A disadvantage of the known device is the limited capacity of the box, low reliability due to the high probability of jamming of the cartridge. In addition, placing the store in a known device makes the barrel heavier and does not allow balancing the weapon in the longitudinal direction, which makes it difficult to use.

The technical result expected from the use of the invention is:

- reduction in size while maintaining the length of the barrel,

- increase the capacity of the box while maintaining the overall height,

- the possibility of aimed shooting while standing,

- reducing the time of opening fire, the ability to produce a faster shot when shooting “offhand” due to the center of mass of the weapon close to the shoulder, which simultaneously improves the controllability of the weapon and reduces the aiming time,

- increase the effectiveness of fire from unstable positions,

- an increase in the rate of transfer of fire,

- Improving the convenience of work in cramped conditions (transport, facilities, etc.).

This goal is achieved by the fact that in a well-known multiple-charge weapon containing a barrel, a trigger mechanism and a box with cartridges, located below the barrel and offset relative to the central cross section of the input window of the receiver, the box is made with a tape, the links of which ensure misalignment of the cartridge in the outlet of the box and the input the window of the tape receiver, and is fixed at an angle to the specified plane of the central cross section of the input window of the tape receiver, equal to the allowable misalignment of the type of tape used.

In this case, the box can be made with the possibility of adjusting the angle of inclination to the plane of the cross section of the input window of the receiver.

In addition, the box can be fixed in the position obtained by additional rotation by an acute angle around the axis of the barrel and / or perpendicular to this axis and / or the vertical axis of the box.

In this case, the distance of fixing the box from the central cross section of the input window of the receiver and the corresponding angle of inclination to the specified plane of the central cross section of the input window of the receiver can be selected based on the maximum possible approximation of the center of gravity of the box to the center of gravity of the entire device.

In addition, the device may be provided with tape guides located between the outlet of the box and the inlet window of the receiver.

At the same time, multi-charged weapons can be made with electronic stabilization and / or aiming and / or feed control systems, the power supply or batteries of which are located in the additional compartment of the box, and the connection of the output power buses and input buses of the said electronic stabilization and aiming systems made detachable.

Placing the box below the barrel outside the central cross-section of the input window of the receiver means that the projection of the plane of the box in which its outlet is located on the horizontal plane in which the barrel lies is offset along the barrel in this plane relative to the transverse axis of the input window of the receiver. Thus, the box with the tape is not located on the side of the input window of the tape receiver and is not located directly below it, as in the known solutions, but is shifted along the barrel relative to the input window of the tape receiver forward or backward and tilted relative to the perpendicular to the barrel so that for a given distance of the box offset when feeding the tape, the bending radii that are structurally acceptable for this type of belt are provided and the links are misaligned when the path passes from the guide rails to the guides of the input window of the weapon receiver. And in the indicated displaced and inclined state, the box is fixed.

The execution of the box with the tape means that the cartridges are placed on the tape, and the tape is laid in the box with the possibility of feeding through the outlet.

The implementation of the tape with the ability to ensure misalignment of the cartridge in the outlet of the box and the input window of the receiver means that the links are made with the possibility of play or rotation relative to each other not only around the transverse axis of the tape, which ensures its flexibility in the known solution, providing bending around a short transverse axis or the axis of the cartridge, as well as opening it with a “fan” in the plane of the tape, but also play and rotate around a “long”, longitudinal axis, so that the cartridge “rotates” at a certain angle relative to the plane and tape.

The permissible misalignment with respect to this type of tape and the selected displacement of the box means the sum of the tolerances for misalignment for the total number of tape links located in this case between the outlet of the box and the input window of the tape receiver (taking into account their linear displacement). In this case, the optimal angle of fastening of the box within the specified tolerance can be determined both by the average of the calculated (geometric) characteristics of the tape used, and empirically - by the criterion of maximum stability and duration of operation in difficult conditions (temperature, pollution, etc.). Moreover, the stability of work primarily means the complete absence of jamming and other effects that cause uneven movement of the tape in all modes of use of weapons.

The function of adjusting the angle of the box at a selected offset distance means the ability to adapt to the parameters (different types) of the tape without a significant change in layout.

The location of the projection of the vertical axis of the box on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the barrel at an acute angle to the perpendicular to the axis of the trunk (which lies in the specified plane) means that, while staying below the trunk, the box is rotated relative to the axis of the latter left or right, but can also be rotated simultaneously relative to said perpendicular or own axis. Moreover, for the box in a complex and asymmetric design, the perpendicular to the attachment plane or other surface on which the outlet for the tape is placed can be selected as the axis.

Figure 2 shows a General view of the proposed device. Figure 3, 4 illustrate the design of a 7.62 mm Kalashnikov machine gun PC and the proposed device in the layout of "bullpup", respectively. This was done in order to demonstrate the convenience of using the proposed arrangement of the box with cartridges in the bullpup layout, although it can also be used to modernize the machine gun in the usual layout. Figure 5 illustrates the essence of the proposal for the standard layout.

Multiply charged weapon contains (figure 3, 4):

1. Box with cartridges placed on the tape

2. Standard mounting box

3. Native trigger

4. Native handle

5. Native stock

6. Handguard

7. Trigger

8. Mounting the box

9. Trigger

10. Handle

11. Casing

12. Thrust

13. The recoil pad

14. The trunk

15. The input window of the tape receiver

Figure 2 also shows the hinged cover 16 of the input window of the receiver 15, which acts as a guide tape 17 with cartridges 18. The electronic aiming system is indicated by 19. Pos. 20 in FIG. 5 denotes an element for adjusting the angular position of the fastening of the box 8 and the box 1 itself. FIG. 6 schematically shows an element of the tape 17 with links 21 having mobility relative to each other, in particular that can rotate around axes 22 and 23.

The heirs of easel machine guns, as you know, are single machine guns, which can be fired from with a bipod, a ground machine, as well as anti-aircraft, automobile, helicopter and other installations. The proposed change in the design of the mounting box allows you to use the layout of the “bullpup” on machine guns with tape power, which in many cases increases the efficiency of the use of such weapons by 20-30% compared with the standard version.

The operation of the device will be considered first in a traditional layout. It is carried out in the same way as in the well-known multicharged weapon, but with the difference that due to the displacement of the box 1 with the cartridges 18 placed on the tape 17, by the amount L in the direction of the outlet of the barrel 14 and rotation relative to the axis of the adjustment element 20 by an angle α ( or an axis perpendicular to the axis of the barrel 14, see FIG. 5) cartridges 18, being in the plane of the tape 17 at the exit from the box 1, are tilted down by the sleeve, and while in the input window 15 of the tape receiver (it is not separately highlighted in the drawings, like other regular elements devices) parallel to barrel 14 multi-shot weapons. This is achieved due to the flexibility of the tape 17, the links 21 of which have, for example, the possibility of displacement and rotation around two mutually perpendicular axes 22, 23 (Fig.6).

The advantages of the proposed technical solution are most fully disclosed in the bullpup layout shown in FIGS. 2, 4. Moreover, this applies both to the case of creating new products and upgrading existing ones.

Moreover, in the case of modernization and even without changing the parameters of the barrel, the length of the weapon decreases by about 25%, and in addition, the accuracy of firing when firing in bursts increases due to linear recoil, since the axis of the barrel channel 14 and the butt plate 13 are now on the same line. Another important factor is the ability to correctly weight the weapon and move its center of gravity closer to the shooter.

In the case of using an electronic sight or electronic stabilization system, their power supplies (battery, for example) can be conveniently placed in the compartment of the box 1 by connecting the corresponding cables with a connector (not shown in the drawing).
