Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in nonrecoiling weapons and relates more specifically to an improved arrangement of a tamping body behind the propellant charge in such a weapon.
  • Armor piercing mostly over-calibrated explosive missiles, may be fired by using firearms which, to avoid recoiling effects upon the weapon, utilize a tube having an opening at its rear end.
  • a tamping body filling the tube diameter tightly, is provided behind the propellant charge for improving the force of the propellant charge on the missile.
  • this tamping body consists of stapled paper layers which will blow out of the rear of the tube, supposedly, as relatively harmless debris, when the projectile is fired.
  • the useful effect of such a tamping body is very low.
  • these paper layers will gather together in lumps, so that, when using such tamping in an effective amount, the area behind the rifleman will not be entirely free from danger.
  • the object of this invention is to provide the propellant charge of a nonrecoiling weapon with a tamping body which will be effective but which will not be of danger within the area behind the rifleman.
  • the tamping body according to the invention furthermore, improves the weapon, in such a way, that the initial velocity (V of projectiles fired from the weapon is kept substantially constant, thus improving the accuracy of the weapon.
  • a further object of the invention is to increase the efficiency of the weapon by preventing the development of undue high gas pressure which would cause an un wanted increase of the recoil of the weapon tube.
  • a further object of the invention is to compensate for the influence of temperature upon the propellant load and thus upon the initial velocity of the projectile.
  • the tamping body according to the invention preferably consists of dust or powder, in particular of metal dust or metal powder, pressed to the form of a body with or without a cementing agent.
  • One or more of such pressed bodies may be used to make up a tamping body.
  • the characteristic of this tamping body is to be chosen so, that the internal cohesive or adhesive structure thereof will be disrupted through the shock of the firing, so that it will be destroyed completely as to form and become dust or powder again, and in this form leave the weapon tube, propelled by the gases of the propellant charge. Dust or powder of pure or substantially pure iron of suitable grain size is preferred.
  • the tamping body consisting of one or more pressed bodies, can be cased in an air-tight and dampproofed enevelope, for example, a case formed out of light inflammable or light meltable material, particularly of plastic (polyethylene), to guarantee good transportation facilities and long life storage conditions.
  • an air-tight and dampproofed enevelope for example, a case formed out of light inflammable or light meltable material, particularly of plastic (polyethylene), to guarantee good transportation facilities and long life storage conditions.
  • the weight of the tamping body is chosen as large as possible compared to the weight of the projectile. It should preferably be of to percentage of the weight of the projectile.
  • the tamping body, with its diameter, however, does not fill the inner diameter of the barrel ice completely but consists of one or more channels, arranged in longitudinal direction of the weapon tube, through which channel or channels a part of the propellant gas may escape rearwardly upon firing, before the tamping body has left the tube.
  • the channel or channels are preferably constructed so that the diameter of the tamping body is of a smaller diameter than that inner diameter of the tube.
  • the tamping body can be provided with a packing, such as a wraping, consisting of a selfsealing textile tape, in order to provide that the aforementioned channel means for the propellant gas, provided between the weapon tube and the tamping body, is, after the firing of the weapon maintained as long as possible, at least until the pressure of the gas has passed its maximum value and has come down to a lower value.
  • a packing such as a wraping, consisting of a selfsealing textile tape
  • the casing of the tamping body can be combined for instance, by welding with a casing containing the propellant charge which is preferably of plastic (polyethylene) material.
  • a casing containing the propellant charge which is preferably of plastic (polyethylene) material.
  • the said channel means is available before the pressure in the tube reaches its maximum value.
  • one or both of the casings is provided with a weakened spot.
  • the tamping body can furthermore be provided with an arrangement to lower, or to compensate for the influence of temperature upon the propellant charge and thus upon the initial or muzzle velocity V of the projectile.
  • This arrangement should, with increasing temperature enlarge the cross-section of the channel means and decrease it as the temperature decreases.
  • Such an arrangement could either be designed to be adjustable manually or to be controlled automatically by the influence of the temperature.
  • the tamping body is provided with an adhesive tape which is wound around it and which may be added to or subtracted from according to the ascertained temperature before placing the tamping device into the weapon tube.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side view partly in section of a hand firearm ready to fire provided with an armor piercing projectile or missile, a propellant charge, and a tamping body according to the invention;
  • FIGURE 2 is a fragmentary view like FIGURE 1, but showing the propellant charge and the tamping body in section;
  • FIGURE 3 is an enlarged fragmentary view of the region inside circle a of FIGURE 2 showing the arranging of a bandage or wrapping around the casing of the tamping body;
  • FIGURE 4 is a section view of a modification of the tamping body.
  • FIGURE 5 is a perspective view of the FIGURE 4 modification.
  • the nonrecoiling weapon illustrated in FIG. 1, consists in particular of a relatively thin walled tube 1, open on both ends, and provided with a firing device 2 mount ed in the bottom intermediate the ends.
  • the inside of the tube 1 communicates with the firing device 2 via a detonating or ignition canal or passage 3.
  • the fusing cartridge 5 is exploded by operating the firing trigger 4, thereby causing an ignition flash which blows into the inside of tube 1 via the ignition canal 3.
  • the necessary sighting device provided on the tube 1 is not shown in the drawing.
  • FIG. 1 also illustrates the position of tamping body 6 and propellant charge body 7 within the weapon tube 1.
  • the front end 7' of the propellant charge body 7 projects into a recess in the rear end 9 of the projectile.
  • the projectile 10, has a reduced rear end 11 which is received in the tube 1, and which reduced rear end is provided with guiding ring means 12 and 13.
  • the projectile 1t propellant charge body 7, and tamping body 6, are stacked together, and are then inserted into the weapon tube from the front end.
  • a so-called igniting or primer charge 8, provided within the propellant load body, is, it will be noted, positioned above the ignition canal 3.
  • FIG. 2 shows the construction of the propellant load with its combined tamping body according to the invention.
  • a cylindrical case 14 with a wall-thickness of about 1.5 millimeters is made of plastic (polyethylene) and may be closed at its front end.
  • the wall-thickness of the saidplastic case is reduced to about 0.5. millimeter within the range of the igniting charge 8 and at its rear end 15.
  • Case 14 fits snugly into tube 1.
  • the rear end part 15 of the propellant load case 14 is filled with a part of the propellant charge 16, which for instance, may consist of a nitrocellulose powder of a suitable composition and grain size.
  • the igniting charge 8 is contained between two paper board disks 17.
  • the igniting charge 8 may be, for example, a black powder which will ignite the main propellant charge 16 after the charge 8 has been ignited by the ignition flash entering tube 1 via canal 3 and piercing casing 14.
  • the front part of the propellant charge case 14 is also filled with nitrocellulose powder so that propellant charge 16 is in two parts with the igniting charge 8 therebetween.
  • a cylindrical case 18 is provided on the tamping body 6 and is fitted to the reduced diameter rear end 15 of the propellant charge case 14.
  • Case 18 is, for example, polyethylene material with a thickness of 0.15 millimeter, and may be welded to the said rear end 15 of case 14 along two ring-shaped annular regions 19, for instance by means of ring-shaped electrically heated means.
  • the actually tamping body 20 is positioned inside case 18.
  • the right, or rear end, of case 18 is sealed from the air, by a bottom plate 21 which is Welded to the case 18.
  • the tamping body may consist of iron dust, pressed with or Without a cementing agent, to a cylindrical block 20 (FIG. 2) or to shorter blocks 20' (FIG. 4).
  • the essential thing is that the structure of the tamping body, on the one hand, is sufficiently firm and solid that, it will keep its form under normal conditions, while, on the other hand, it will loosen up and return to powdered or granular condition under the firing thrust of the weapon.
  • the tamping body when leaving the rearwardly directed tube opening will be carried as dust the shortest distance by the gases leaving the rear of the tube.
  • the tamping body may be produced for instance in the manner described in the following:
  • Adding a lubricant to the iron dust helps to obtain uniform density in the pressed bodies, and also to protect the pressing devices.
  • the lubricant may, for instance, consist of 1 to 2 percentage of oil in the iron dust. Pressing can be accomplished by a pressure of about 1 to 2 tons/ cm. and will result in bodies having a specific gravity ranging between 4 and grams/cm.
  • a body, pressed in this manner, is stable to handle but will disintegrate into dust again under the impact of the firing thrust of the weapon.
  • the bodies when stored, and protected by the case 8 against the humidity of the air, will keep their characteristics for a long period of time.
  • This annular clearance is available immediately after the ignition of the propellant charge. It is a further important object of the invention to provide, for this purpose, a breaking region at the connection of the propellant charge case 14 to the case 18 of the tamping body as, for example, at point 23, which represents a weakened region in case 14. This weakened region will rupture upon firing of the Weapon and body with its case, and the rear end 15 of the propellant charge case 14, will be moved towards the right by the firing operation, so that the propellant charge gases can blow rearwardly through the annular clareance 24 immediately after the tearing off of the case 14 at the spot 23.
  • the tamping body according to the invention should not only reduce the danger in the area behind the weapon during firing operation, but should also improve the operating properties of the weapon.
  • the combustion chamber can be supplied with a small amount of propellant charge. This has, on the other hand, the disadvantage of considerable variation in the muzzle velocity V of the projectile. This shows that the characteristics of the weapon may not be improved simply by enlarging the tamping mass.
  • the annular clearance 25 provided between the tamping body 21) and the weapon tube 1 is of maximum value for the V of the projectile at +40 centigrade.
  • the tamping body has on its front part a bandage or wrapping 26, wound around it, and consisting of a self-sealing textile tape, which reduces the cross sectional area of the annular clearance such that, if the whole of the bandage 26 remains wound upon the tamping body, the resulting clearance will give a certain V of, the projective, for a given propellant charge temperature of centigrade.
  • the rifleman Before loading, i.e., before placing the projectile into the tube, the rifleman rewinds the textile tape 26 to a determined mark and tears off the remainder according to the ascertained temperature.
  • the tape may be provided not for this purpose, with markings of temperature and can be perforated as at 28 within certain separations so as to be easily torn off.
  • the case of the tamping body is also provided with ribs or the like 27 (FIG. 5) for centrally supporting the tamping body within the tube 1.
  • the blow off channel consists of an annular clearance between the tube and the tamping body. It is also possible to provide one or several channels arranged around or within the tamping body, for instance, whereby the tamping body or its bandage 22 can be fitted closely within tube 1.
  • automatic acting devices such as bimetal elements, may be provided in place of the predescribed packing or bandage 26, which, will enlarge upon an increase in temperature and reduce upon a reduction in temperature and thereby control the cross sectional area of the blow off channel automatically.
  • All of the elements in the tube, apart from the projectile consist of inflammable or meltable material, in particular of plastic or the like, convertible by the firing of the weapon into dust or fine granules.
