SA112330444B1 - Method for loading a weapon in time with a firing rate - Google Patents

Abstract

It is proposed that the revolver drum be allowed to rotate at least approximately at the rate which corresponds to the normal firing rate of the weapon. When a predetermined loading step is reached, the weapon trigger is operated such that fire can be opened essentially without any delay. The weapon is fired without any pause immediately after (with) the loading process. At the same time, that is to say only immediately before firing, the weapon is changed from the SAFE state to the CHARGED state, thus considerably improving the safety standards of the weapon. The time in which the weapon is ready for use and ready to fire and not in the SAFE state is limited to a minimum or becomes zero, thus leading to a considerable improvement in operational safety. Lengthening the time in the SAFE state allows a greater test depth (for example for the trigger) for the weapon, which in turn results in higher weapon reliability.

_ \ —_ Method of loading a weapon in accordance with rate of fire

Method for loading a weapon in time with a firing rate Full description BACKGROUND The invention [Jal] relates to a method for loading pistols; Particularly remotely controlled pistols in accordance with or depending on the rate of fire. US Document 7874177 relates to ALE load-carrying weapons with a rotating chamber. The object of the invention © is to provide a new and improved cartridge for portable weapons with a revolving chamber. This gun has three chambers inside the cylinder; One for loading the ammo, one in the firing position, and the last one for ejecting the chuck (WE) The ammo will be loaded in the usual way In the second step the cylinder puts the chamber loaded with the new ammo into the firing position. In the third step, the empty envelope is removed. These weapons are loaded after firing step by step. There is no device Yes loaded in this case; The gun is a portable weapon and no loading device is required. Japanese Document 3735447 relates to a method for receiving and delivering ammunition from an automatic pistol. The method for receiving and delivering ammunition for a rotating disc-type automatic gun includes the steps for permanently engaging a continuously rotating first gear that is driven in a rotatable manner by means of a trigger mechanism with an integrally rotating second gear With the feed ratchet wheel of the Vo shot feeder unit to feed the ammunition to the gia loading from the anti-gun carriage recoil time to recoil time by continuous interlock display; 38 transmit the mechanism to the wheel; and feed the ammunition carried by the wheel to the loading part of the explosive chamber drum. There is no download device. Revolvers are basically known. where they are used; not an but preferably; at the medium-caliber range. As long as there is no need for a Bala to be used; The 0 is generally unloaded. This means that the ammunition chambers in the revolver cylinder do not contain any ARA

ammo This means that it is empty. This requirement was made for safety reasons; and accordingly within each case necessary to avoid firing the ammunition without the canal resulting in damage to the gun or endangering the surrounding area. and by thinking of the whole life; be the gun; Naturally; In this case mostly unpackaged. (Jilly) Pistols must be loaded first in order to reach 0 operational readiness or to fire. This is accomplished by feeding the cartridges in the steps from loading the ammunition to the firing position in the pistol so that the cartridge chamber in the firing position contains a cartridge in the Han these cartridges Common medium-caliber range revolvers are filled manually, pneumatically, hydraulically or electrically General description of the invention 0 In this case, step-by-step filling depends on the number of cartridges. This means that three rad operations occur for each filling step The control slide is accelerated by a hydraulic winding device for this purpose The hydraulic winding_device moves to the rear limit position and is pushed back again by locking springs The revolver barrel is synchronously rotated through 90° by Control slider cam No And the cylinder performs a filling cycle In initial position A shot cycle is placed in the feed of a cartridge which generally does not have bolt joints and is fed from this into a gun feed So the first cartridge is placed in the position place the initial into the feed unit; It can be held by the pistol cartridge slider. The first cartridge is then pushed into the rotor (barrel shaft) by the star wheels of the feed unit” and half pushed by the revolver cartridge slider into the upper YN cartridge chamber (referred to as the twelve o'clock position) in the cylinder. This first cartridge rotates in the rotor and is pushed by the BIS pistol cartridge slider into the cartridge chamber which is now at the twelve o'clock position. During the following pipe rotation by an angle of Vo degrees; San cartridge is rotated with the first cartridge to the six o'clock firing position. In this case; The shuttered AS is located in the weapon housing behind the cartridge; and closes it. And therefore; l see

weapon is loaded; And Bala is for launch. A well-known hydraulic filler can perform the required three fills in approximately one to two seconds thus filling the revolver in that time. Figure 1 shows a known Hage mechanism 001 of a weapon (pistol); not shown in greater detail as a separate figure. In this case, 1 indicates a grate where a joystick is integrated? © In addition to reflux-flow lines and a pressure line 4. All lines are connected to a hydraulic unit 5. The outermost assemblies are a reflux-flow store 1, an oF solenoid valve, an oA filling device, a pressure tank 4; a filling press 10; and a plunger 11 OY control slide, revolver cylinder OF and cartridge chamber 4. Loading device A is attached to the rail grille of the weapon 1. To load the revolver the barrel of the revolver 11 must be rotated so that the cartridges (not shown) can be inserted into the chambers Cartridge NE The hydraulic unit © is used to provide the pressure needed to operate the filling device A The pressure device A consists of a motor driven pump, reservoir, filter, overpressure valve, adjusting valve (LB) for pressure control and a bypass (not shown). pressure line; the hydraulic device is under pressure to the filling device oA and the reflux-flow line passes the device back to the tank. To load the weapon, the hydraulic unit applies pressure to the pressure tanks 9 by means of the pressure line 4. When 1 _ Solenoid valve opened and actuated electronically by weapon control unit (not shown); The winding piston 01 is pushed with a higher energy level against the plunger 11 and thus causes the control slide 11 to move in the opposite direction to the barrel hexagon direction of the cylinder (not shown in greater detail). And therefore; Leads to the rotation of the revolver cylinder, DY. This process is performed three times in Ala. The revolver cylinder contains four cartridge chambers. And therefore; weapon is loaded; and fala is for launch. [0] The method according to the invention is specified so that this filling process is carried out at a rate nearly identical to the normal firing rate of the handgun; Once the weapon is Bala to fire immediately afterwards; The trigger (not shown) is released to allow the gun to fire at its normal rate of fire without any delay. Figure 7 is a case diagram of the weapon in accordance with the prior art. Figure 1 shows state 2 of the weapon in a state diagram as a function of time ot according to the known method; the weapon is (1 > 10) in Alla safe yo unloaded. The process of loading the weapon starts at time 20 and is completed at time 1]; take this interval to ara

Co The time frame is usually a few seconds. Thus, the weapon is well packed before use; and left in the loaded state. The weapon is in the loaded state; ob] The loading process depends on which fire command. from time to launch. In this case "Fill" (and in phase between Bala for use Pals and therefore for application. of 11; fire command can be given in ALE and 1); aES is 0 Giving Ala command There may be different time intervals between 11 425 in t] time (SOW) © firing at time 12; one shot from a group of shots or a volley continues until Alla) and the weapon remains in the state In this oll) last time 3 "stop". Fire stops so times 12, fire and 13 stop can be passed through the OAT Possible to give a fire command if Le has been given too many times With the weapon remaining in the "loaded" state after that. regardless of the order to fire (i.e. not to perform steps 12 and 13); The weapon must not be loaded again within 0

Se 15 The interval between times 14 and 15; As a result the weapon is in the 'safe' state where the safety requirements are again less stringent; In particular, A (maintenance and testing) operations can be carried out. Filling operations take a long time. An additional feature of the filling process for these weapons is that the dll must evaluate that the filling operation must be performed very long before use. BONUS On1 that the use of the weapon should be expected at a later time.This assessment is subject to uncertainty and requires thorough planning activities.Therefore, it is necessary to timely determine when to change the weapon from the state safe non-dangerous (safe) to the state dangerous (charged) In this case, more stringent requirements should be applied to the rights of the operator (JU) to be in the “safe” state. For example, the operation and safety devices of the weapon at work, maintenance and staying close to the weapon were greatly restricted. Therefore, the weapon is 0

BA, generally desired for a relatively long period of time. during use; If the weapon is not used, it must be unloaded again because of the already known safety aspects. This involves an additional time penalty. The reason is to return the weapon to the "safe" state after unloading it only

WS is known”; in some cases; subject ammunition; which are fed and conveyed during the packing/non-packing process; to severe mechanical loads. Since it is not possible to dale when it is in use in field conditions; to test which parts of the discharged ammunition are packed mechanically vigorously and which parts are packed lightly enough so that they can be serviced for future use; All emptied cartridges, regardless of the level to which they were filled, are 0 discarded

Actually. This leads to higher costs. German Patent No. 0100176047549 discloses a method for controlling the firing sequence of a machine gun, whereby the firing sequence is modified so that the interval between adjacent shot starts is decreased or increased while producing the desired rate of fire overall in order to avoid

10 Acoustic collisions of the gun barrel. in this context; Jia The object of the invention is to provide a method specifically for loading pistols; that comply with the most stringent safety standards while being cost effective at the same time. cared) is achieved by features of patent claim No. (1). Useful models are included in the dependent claims.

5 - The invention is based on the idea of accelerating the operation of the well-known winding device and on the idea of linking the winding process to the operation of the trigger at the same time. In this case; The filling process is accelerated so that for example Jal three filling movements are performed in the case of a four-chamber cylinder; For example in a time between a second and a few tenths of a second. in a typical way; The steps in the packing process are executed at a rate that is about the same as the normal firing rate of the pistol. This method is known as packing according to the modifier

0 shooting. During the loading process (pal) the trigger is actuated or released so that firing is opened without any delay after loading. The barrel of the revolver should be allowed to rotate at a rate at least roughly matching the rate of fire of the weapon. Upon reaching a predetermined fill step 3 the weapon's trigger is triggered so that firing is opened without any delay 0. Zl Initiation of firing occurs without any return under operating conditions 3

I see

Overall, operational readiness was achieved very quickly. In this case; The filling process is carried out in a very short time; does not extend the reaction time to fire the weapon; Thus, tampering is permitted only when firing is actually opened. The weapon is fired without any pause after loading. At the same time; This means that only after the immediate firing is the weapon loaded from Alla Safe to a non-0 state; Thus significantly improving the safety standards of the weapon. The time is restricted as the weapon is Bala to use Bala to fire and is not in the minimum safe state or is Ba and thus leads to a significant improvement in operational safety. The longer time in the Safe state allows for a greater depth of test (Bie) of the weapon's trigger, which in turn leads to greater weapon reliability. Since the weapon is only loaded when the Glad is fired, there is no need to anticipate 0 HAN losses that Issued by the ammunition being damaged during the filling/unfilling process Unwanted mechanical filling of unfilled GIS ammunition is avoided and thus costly disposal The method allows remote control and a fast and automated filling process; can be used in machine guns and gun turrets (eg Example in the case of naval guns or gun stations on vehicles/platforms (Vo lays) _The invention will be illustrated in greater detail by reference to one illustrative embodiment and figures; with reference to guns and their combinations known from prior art for illustrative purposes Brief Explanation of Drawings Fig. 1 Shows the shutter mechanism of a weapon or pistol in the form of a separate drawing according to prior art; Fig. ? shows a case diagram of the weapon Buda of prior art; additional case diagram of packing method; Figure 5e illustrates a preferred example of the packing method. l see

Jay directly. In this case; BUY) is launched. The filling process is therefore dependent on command with the revolver's cylinder rotated approximately in OF ammunition in one or more ammunition chambers in the revolver's cylinder until it reaches the rate that matches the weapon's normal rate of fire. The cylinder of the revolver rotates at least the first cartridge to the firing position. consequently or nearly at the same time; At the time of “fire” the trigger of the weapon is actuated so that the fire can be opened without any delay virtually. 2 0 to fire starts in a loaded state so that the Bala so the weapon is GRY 3 starts to fire and then continues for the time it is discharged ll fire shots or fire without any delay. As long as the order to fire the weapon is not given again from time 4); as a result the weapon is unloaded from time 5] and is in safe condition again. The firing of known pistols ranges from several hundred to more than a thousand rounds VO per minute The filling process is in accordance with the firing gear between the times 11 and 2] and thus occurs in a period of time less than one second, especially in the range from a quarter to This delay between the command to fire and the firing of the first cartridge is short and can be easily incorporated into the calculation of firing control for the overall pistol by correcting for the nose parameters, elevation or azimuth angle, as well as the preparation time for the assault or explosive ammunition. Use of the weapon i.e. not triggering the firing command (not shown) The weapon in Als always remains in the safe state. Thus TB standards can be complied with the least severe security nation; Moreover, there is no need for unfilled and unused ammunition from the weapon; Then get rid of it at a high cost

In the AT model of the method as shown in Figure (4); The weapon does not remain in the loaded state after the end of firing at time 13 "off"; but instead; UF is followed by the no fill process. Thus there is no time 14 to begin the demobilization process; Because it coincides with time 13. The non-tamper operation is executed between times 13 and 15 at a rate that roughly matches the weapon's normal firing rate. © Thus the unloading process is completed very quickly - Sale in about less than a second - after ll has finished firing and the weapon is in the safe non-critical state again. Under no circumstances whatsoever.” The weapon “Jah” must not be loaded when a fire command is given while the weapon is being fired. This often occurs J of fire output and operational readiness as in prior art; Thus leads to reasonable savings in ammunition and cost. Vo in a useful form AT of the method as shown in the figure (*); while packing in line with the release rate; specially; Loads as many cartridges as is required for the firing order. If the order to fire is for one shot only, one cartridge is loaded; Ammunition feeding to the revolver cylinder OF is interrupted and further rotated until the firing position is reached. One shot is fired by triggering the release at time 2 “fire”. If the firing command consists of VO . of a group of shots; precisely this number of cartridges are fed; pad feeding will be interrupted) and the barrel of the revolver is rotated . 11 until the last shot is fired at time t3 “stop.” Jia The specific benefit of this model is that all cartridge chambers in the cylinder of the VW revolver are empty after the firing has finished, so the weapon returns back to the safe state. No cartridges are required to be filled in. This method is particularly cost-effective and at the same time 0 safe.
