The inventive weapon system makes it possible in relatively simple manner to use different barrels (with respect to the calibre, rifling thereof etc.) and to feed the ammunition manually or semi-automatically and to select required cartridge calibre or the type thereof for shooting.
Description
- The invention relates to a weapon, namely it relates to smallarms such as rifles, carbines and shotguns.
- Different embodiments of smallarms and devices for feeding of ammunition therefor are known.
- Known semi-automatic rifle or shotgun having a smooth or rifled bore comprise a casing having a lateral opening for introducing cartridges on one side of said casing and a lower opening for ejecting from below the case of each cartridge fired. At the level of the lateral opening is mounted a lateral feeding means, which is able to receive and to hold a second cartridge during the firing of a first cartridge and to introduce the second cartridge automatically into the gun with the aid of the breechblock after the firing of the first cartridge and the ejection of its empty case [U.S. Pat. No. 6,044,580, 2000]. There is a deficiency of the known shotgun such that said shotgun has limited range of its using accordingly follows: there is no an alternative barrel; a number of feeding cartridges is limited and it may be used with the cartridges of one calibre only; if there will be a misfire of one cartridge then cocking, trigger and firing mechanisms will be jammed and the shotgun will break down; therefore the shotgun is unreliable and inconvenient in use.
- Known semi-automatic rifle is choosen as a prototype of the first inventive weapon embodiment, said rifle comprises a barrel part with a barrel receiver mounted within a stock and provided with cocking, firing and trigger mechanisms, said mechanisms include a hammer, a firing rod movably mounted within a tube with aid of an arming spring, a firing nipple which is positioned within a chamber and communicates with both the rear of a barrel bore and the tube [U.S. Pat. No. 4,503,633, 1985]. There is a deficiency of the known rifle such that said rifle has limited range of its using accordingly follows: there is no an alternative barrel; a number of feeding cartridges is limited and it may be used with the cartridges factoried of one calibre only; if there will be a misfire of one cartridge then cocking, trigger and firing mechanisms will be jammed and the rhythm of shooting will be broken; combustion gas evacuated from the barrel through the the interior of the stock will contaminate internal surfaces of the cocking, firing and trigger mechanisms which cleaning is complicated; therefore the shotgun is unreliable and inconvenient in use.
- Known self supporting ammunition cartridge is choosen as a prototype of the second inventive weapon embodiment, the ammunition cartridge is made as a magazine with cartridges and has a case formed by cylindrical cartridge-cases which are bonded together with resin. The cartridge-case is a hollow cylinder with a primer at its aft end and a projectile recessed into its forward end. A weapon for such cartridges-magazine has a gap between an aft end of a barrel and a barrel receiver, the gap is long enough to accommodate the cartridges-magazine. The cartridges-magazine is moving from below upwards during shooting, and the cartridges-magazine has one or two rows of the charged cartridge-cases displaced one from another [invention US H61, 1986]. There are some deficiencies of the known weapon provided with known cartridges-magazine as follows: an upper end of the cartridges-magazine having shot cartridge-cases may be rested against an upper weapon bracket and/or hide the aim therefore it is necessary to move away said upper end by the hand, this moving distracts attention during shooting and delivers inconveniences, especially when the cartridges-magazine is multirow; and there is no special equipment for equipment of the cartridges-magazine in marching conditions.
- It is a primary object of the present invention to expand a range of a use of a weapon and its functionality, and what's more to provide the weapon with an ammunition of different calibres and purposes.

The cocking mechanism comprises anarming spring 9 fitted on alongitudinal shaft 10 which is located along thecasing 2 and fixed by its ends to both aback 11 of thecasing 2 and astop 12. Thearming spring 9 is supported by one end of amovable toothed rack 13 combined with ahandle 14 which goes out through a sawcut of a wall of thecasing 2. Thetoothed rack 13 is mounted by means oflong slots 15 and toothed with a toothedlower part 16 of ahammer 17. The trigger mechanism comprises ashaft 18 having a variable cross-section. There are some details fitted on a round part of theshaft 18 as follows: atrigger spring 19; thehammer 17 having a displaced shock surface, toothed with thetoothed rack 13 by means of a gear and having possibility to be removed from thetoothed rack 13 aside; aslide 20 having a lower part with adevice 21 for a stopping thetoothed rack 13 when thehammer 17 is removed therefrom. Awedge 22 is fitted on a square part of theshaft 18 and connected with atrigger 24 by means of atraction 23. Also the trigger mechanism comprises a safety-lock 25 placed on the wall of thecasing 2, aterminator 26 of a rotation of thehammer 17 is arranged in a place of lowering of an occipital part of thehammer 17. The firing mechanism comprises twomovable strikers 27 located one above another and supplied with adevice 28 for simultaneous vertical displacement of their calcaneal part in relation to the shock surface of thehammer 17. Thetoothed rack 13 has aslots 29 to stop a rack moving when thehammer 17 is removed therefrom. Output ends of themovable strikers 27 are installed inholes 30 opposite to caps ofcartridges 31. The chamber-magazine 3 has a rigid rectangular-shaped case and is provided with through receiving holes forcartridges magazine 3 may be displaced in both side directions and is installed horizontally into a clearance between back parts of thebarrels 1 and thecasing 2 by means of guide-bars 32. The chamber-magazine 3 is provided with adevice 33 for pushing out cartridge-cases or misfiredcartridges magazine 3 has bottomlongitudinal grooves 34 for ledges of adevice 35 intended for a stopping of the chamber-magazine at the moment of shooting. The chamber-magazine 3 moves on the guide-bars 32 by means ofsprings 36 fitted onshafts 37 which pass through walls of thecasing 2. Stopparts 38 for moving the chamber-magazine 3 are mounted on both ends of theshafts 37. Thearrow throwing device 8 comprises a bowstring stretched on an elastic bow having ahole 39 for the arrows therein, the elastic bow is fixed to a low part of theforward sight 5.

When it is the double-barrelled embodiment of the small arms, thebarrel part 1 may comprise asmoothbore barrel 43 having calibre for thehunting cartridges 31 and a rifledbarrel 44 for theappropriate cartridges 45. - For making a shot it is necessary to compress the arming
spring 9 by means of moving back thehandle 14 of thetoothed rack 13. Thecocked arming spring 9 is uncompressed and pushes forward thetoothed rack 13, at the same time thehammer 17 is cocked by means of the toothing between the teeth of thetoothed rack 13 and the teeth of thehammer 17 and settles down by its rear part on theterminator 26. Simultaneously thetrigger spring 19 is cocked because it is fitted on thesame shaft 18 and covers a rear part of thehammer 17. When a head of the safety-lock 25 is displaced forward, its lever settles down above thehammer 17 that provides immovability of thehammer 17. A head of the safety-lock 25 is displaced back, and its lever sets free thehammer 17, and when thetrigger 24 is pushed, thetraction 23 is moved forward with thewedge 22, then thewedge 22 displaces aside theslide 20 with thedevice 21 for a stopping thetoothed rack 13. In turn, theslide 20 displaces thehammer 17 aside from thetoothed rack 13 and disconnects the toothing therebetween, at the same time theslide 20 pushs thedevice 21 into theslot 29 of thetoothed rack 13, and then thetrigger spring 19 is compressed around theshaft 18. After the disconnection with thetoothed rack 13, thehammer 17 strikes one of thestrikers 27 by means of the uncompressing of thetrigger spring 19, and, in turn, the strickenstriker 27 strikes a primer of thecartridge 31, and the shot occurs. The lever of thedevice 28 fitted on theshaft 18 is moved downwards or upwards on a wall of thecasing 2 to reinstall thestrikers 27 from one row ofcartridges 31 to other row ofcartridges 45. Whentrigger 24 is released, thewedge 22 comes back in an initial position, thehammer 17 is toohed with thetoothed rack 13 by means of thecompressed trigger spring 19, and theslide 20 with thedevice 21 comes back in an initial position too. As soon as thedevice 21 for a stopping goes out theslot 29, then thetoothed rack 13 moves forward and cocks thehammer 17 again by means of the armingspring 9. At the time of the cocking, theteeth 16 of thehammer 17 touch a lever of thedevice 35 to stop the the chamber-magazine 3, then one end of the lever of thedevice 35 goes out theslot 34 of the chamber-magazine 3 to release it, then the chamber-magazine 3 displases by means of thesprings 36 and is stopped by means of thedevice 35, and the primers of a new pair of thecartridges strikers 27. When thetrigger 24 is pushed again, the abovementioned cycle is repeated. - During preparation of the
device 8 for shooting by arrows, a rear end of one arrow is push through thehole 39 and instulled on the bowstring which is stretched and interposed into the deepening 40 offorestock 7, and then the bowstring is hooked by means of thehook 41. When thehook 41 is pushed, the bowstring runs off this hook and throws forward the arrow. - It is possible to use the arrow to throw a safety or fixing cable on required height or distance or to make an aim silent shooting by arrows on distance up to 50 meters.
- Fulfilment of a shot for the single-barrel embodiment of the small arms is similar to fulfilment of a shot for its double-barrelled embodiment.
- This inventive weapon system allows in relatively simple manner to use different barrels (with respect to the calibre, rifling thereof etc.) and to feed the ammunition manually or semi-automatically and to select required cartridge calibre or the type thereof for shooting.
