Abstract

FIELD: weapons.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method of firing multiple ammunition from an under-barrel muzzle-loading grenade launcher. The method includes placing standard ammunition at the beginning of the barrel and subsequent initiation of its propellant. A similar ammunition is pre-oppositely attached to it in front using a mechanical nose fastening device. Also, according to the second embodiment of the method, other ammunition of a smaller calibre is preliminarily attached to it in front in an opposite direction using a mechanical nose fastening device.

EFFECT: increase in the fire damage of a single shot without expanding the range of ammunition.

Description

Field of technology

The claimed result of intellectual activity - an invention, relates to weapon systems, in particular, “mortars and recoilless rifles”, “grenade launchers and weapon grenades” (See V.A. Odintsov et al.; “Weapons and weapon systems”; M; "Ed. MSTU named after N.E. Bauman"; 2018 - 226; p. 5). Serves to increase the destructive effect on the enemy at medium and close distances (less than the maximum standard for a particular weapon). SKB is “firing with multiple ammunition.” This invention discusses methods for implementing SKB.

State of the art

In modern armed conflicts of the early 21st century, the need for maximum lethal fire at close and medium distances has emerged. This is due to several reasons: the positional nature of the confrontation on the line of combat contact, the desire to achieve maximum accuracy (since the statistical dispersion of conventional uncorrected ammunition linearly depends on the firing range), the use of maximum kinetic energy of ammunition, loading it with additional weight with a deliberate reduction in the throwing distance. Armed conflicts in the Middle East in 2011-2015 led to the emergence of homemade weapon systems made from water sewer pipes firing household propane gas cylinders. The prevalence of such homemade systems has shown their respective effectiveness and need for them.

The closest analogue is the method of firing from the Soviet howitzer B-4 mod. 1931 (GAU index - 52-G-625). Its main ammunition is a high-explosive fragmentation projectile weighing 100 kg, and a concrete-piercing projectile weighing 146 kg with a shorter firing range is designed to destroy particularly strong fortifications (source - https://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title= 203-mm_howitzer_model_1931_year_(B-4)&oldid=128265949).

The disadvantage of the above known technical solution is the expansion of the range of ammunition with associated issues of production, accumulation and logistics.

Disclosure

The objective of the claimed result of intellectual activity is to increase the power of weapon systems.

The technical result of the claimed result of intellectual activity is an increase in the fire damage of a single shot without expanding the range of ammunition.

This result is achieved by

In the first option, a method of firing multiple ammunition from an under-barrel muzzle-loading grenade launcher is possible, including placing standard ammunition at the beginning of the barrel and subsequent initiation of its propellant, while a similar ammunition is preliminarily attached to it in front (nose to nose) using a mechanical nose fastening device.

In the second option, a method of firing multiple ammunition from an under-barrel muzzle-loading grenade launcher is possible, including placing standard ammunition at the beginning of the barrel and subsequent initiation of its propellant, while other ammunition of a smaller caliber is previously attached to it in front (nose to nose) using a mechanical nose fastening device . For example, to a standard 40 mm VOG-25 underbarrel grenade, a 30 mm VOG-17 from an automatic grenade launcher is attached, the means of nose fastening is a common fuse for two ammunition with two oppositely located, corresponding threaded entries into the mounting locations of standard fuses.

In addition, in methods of firing multiple ammunition, according to any option, the mechanical fastening means can use the structural location of the missing standard fuze of the rear ammunition.

In addition, in the methods of firing multiple ammunition in any embodiment, the means for mechanically fastening the ammunition may use an integral fuze to fire both connected ammunition.

In addition, in the method of firing multiple ammunition according to the second option, ammunition from an under-barrel grenade launcher or ammunition from an automatic grenade launcher can be used as other ammunition of a smaller caliber. For example, to a standard 40 mm VOG-25 underbarrel grenade, a 30 mm VOG-17 from an automatic grenade launcher is attached, the means of nose fastening is a common fuse for two ammunition with two oppositely located, corresponding threaded entries into the mounting locations of standard fuses.

Implementation

The claimed result of intellectual activity can be achieved as follows, increasing the power of a single shot and reducing the fire distance by ~30-50%.

According to the first and second options for use in under-barrel breech-loading grenade launchers, the claimed result of intellectual activity can be achieved:

• standard GP-30 ammunition (for example, 40-mm VOG-25) and a second similar ammunition located oppositely (“nose to nose”), fastened together with a single fuse with two threaded fitting connections (for each ammunition);

• standard GP-30 ammunition and a second one, for example, 30-mm VOG-17 from AGS, fastened together with a single fuse with two threaded fitting connections (for each ammunition).

The front ammunition extends beyond the muzzle of the GP-30.

According to the fifth and sixth options, the front ammunition is not freed from the propellant charge; only the standard fuses are replaced with a single common one, which is a means of mechanical sequential fastening. In this case, the twist in the barrel of the rear ammunition works to “tighten” both threaded connections of the common fuses and ammunition. The engagement range of such multiple ammunition is reduced from 400 m to ~200 m, doubling the fire impact of a single shot. Due to the increase in recoil impulse, shooting is carried out from a resting position into the ground or a stationary base.

To calculate firing with multiple ammunition, adjusted ballistic tables are used.

The declared result of intellectual activity meets the criterion of “industrial applicability”.
