Abstract

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ammunition, in particular to the construction of small arms cartridges and their functioning. Method of electric initiation of a shot of a small arms cartridge is designed for a perspective caseless cartridge, which is characterized by the fact that the shot occurs due to its incorporation into the DC electric circuit and the breakdown of the electric discharge inside the powder charge of the cartridge. In this method, an electrical impulse is supplied from the power accumulator through the switch to the combustible electrode of the cartridge at the time of its co-axial alignment with the barrel of small arms, while the second terminal of the opposite pole of the power accumulator is permanently connected to the body of small arms and the cartridge. Accumulator is replenished with electricity from a magnetic coil fixed to the barrel of small arms.

EFFECT: technical result consists in reducing the overall and weight characteristics of small arms by refusing from the bulky reciprocating mechanism of feeding the cartridge into the barrel of small arms and throwing out the cartridge case, and also in using the entire caseless cartridge to defeat the target.

Description

The invention is a method of electric initiation of a shot of a cartridge of small arms relates to ammunition of small arms and their functioning.

An analysis of the state of modern small arms (Lenta.ru. The editor-in-chief of the Kalashnikov magazine On assault rifles of the future) shows that their further improvement has been suspended, "... there are no technical revelations, only ergonomic solutions, ..." "There is nothing fundamentally new for us, until fundamentally new ammunition is created. Possible directions are the development of sleeveless topics, ... systems with other ways of initiating a shot ... possibly with a non-mechanical capsule, and electrical initiation. "

An object of the invention is to develop an electrical method for initiating a shot for a promising sleeveless cartridge.

The prototype of such a cartridge is a car candle. A cartridgeless case is characterized in that the shot occurs due to its incorporation into a direct current circuit and breakdown of an electric discharge between a combustible electrode 3 (Fig. 2) located in the tail of the bullet 5 (Fig. 1) and the bullet 1 body (Fig. 2) inside the powder charge 2 (Fig. 2). The electrode is isolated from the bullet body through a combustible dielectric 4 (Fig. 2). The schematic diagram of the electrical initiation of the shot of a cartridge of small arms is close to the power supply circuit of the car (Fig. 3).

The problem is solved by applying an electrical impulse from the energy storage device 8 (Fig. 3) through the switch 13 (Fig. 3) to the combustible electrode of the cartridge 11 (Fig. 3) at the time of its coaxial alignment with the barrel of a small arms 10 (Fig. 3) . The second terminal of the opposite pole of the energy storage device is constantly connected to the casing of the small arms 9 (Fig. 3) and the cartridge. The drive is replenished with electricity from a magnetic coil 6 (Fig. 3), mounted on the barrel of a small arms 10 (Fig. 3). The magnetic coil is a winding of copper wires, which converts magnetic energy into electrical energy by passing through it a magnetized bullet 11 (Fig. 3). A battery, a battery, or a capacitor can be used as an electric energy storage device.

The switch 13 (Fig. 3) is a switch connecting one of the terminals of the current-carrying wire from the energy storage device to the combustible electrode of the cartridgeless cartridge 11 (Fig. 3). For various reasons, the drive may not have enough power during the first shots. As a backup source for this case, a piezo lighter 14 can be used (Fig. 3). The straight cylindrical shape of the cartridgeless cartridge allows you to abandon the existing traditional system for feeding a conical cartridge into the barrel of a small arms. The supply of a cartridgeless cartridge from the magazine to the small arms barrel before firing is possible using the drum 12 (Fig. 3) according to the Nagan system, in which the cartridge is not sent to the small arms barrel but is aligned with it. The drum is in the form of a gear, the teeth of which remove sleeveless cartridges from the magazine, similar to what happens in a bicycle chain drive. In this case, the drum has openings on the side of the barrel and a metal fence on the side of the tail of the cartridgeless cartridge, providing reflection of the powder charges in the direction of the shot.

Thus, it becomes possible to significantly reduce the overall and weight characteristics of small arms due to the rejection of the traditional bulky reciprocating mechanism for supplying a cartridge to the barrel of a small weapon and ejecting a cartridge case, as well as using the entire cartridge to hit the target.

The claimed invention is illustrated by drawings, where in FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a cartridgeless cartridge; FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of a cartridgeless cartridge; FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the electrical initiation of a small arms cartridge shot.
