Definitions
- the invention relates to a weapon, in particular a rapid-fire weapon.
- Such a rapid-fire weapon is e.g. known from U.S. Patent 6,138,395 or EP-Al-1069394.
- This weapon has a barrel and a projectile which can be inserted into the barrel and which has a plurality of sub-floors stacked one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the barrel and supported on one another, a propellant charge being provided behind each sub-floor.
- the sub-floors are generally accommodated in a sleeve, the wall of the sleeve being provided with electrical squibs in the area of the individual propellant charges.
- the squibs are initiated electrically one after the other by means of an ignition device, and the propellant charges are thereby ignited sequentially, so that the sub-floors are ejected from the barrel one after the other.
- the individual sub-floors generally have a caliber of 40 mm; the firing frequency is between 2 and 5 Hz.
- the ejection forces of the individual shots cannot be reproduced in a defined manner.
- the electrical squibs which are always present in the sleeve are susceptible to corrosion and aging and are not secure against electromagnetic interference, which is problematic, inter alia, for the transport and storage of the ammunition.
- the invention has for its object to modify the known rapid firearm so that a reliable and reproducible function of the rapid firearm is achieved throughout the sequence of the individual shots.
- the weapon and all of its parts, including the sub-floors, should be able to be safely stored and transported for a long time.
- a first feature of the invention is that the sub-floors are mechanically firmly connected to one another in the area of the propellant charges, a predetermined breaking point being provided in this mechanical connection, which is broken open in a defined manner after the propellant charge is ignited by its propellant gases.
- a second feature is that the propellant charges are generated by pyrotechnic primers, namely by their ignition beam, i.e. are ignited by their propellant gases.
- the ignition beam of an ignition charge enters an ignition channel, which penetrates the wall of the barrel and opens in the area of a propellant charge for a specific basement.
- the firm connection of the sub-floors via a defined predetermined breaking point ensures that the sub-floors are only ejected from the barrel when a completely defined pressure of the propellant gases has developed.
- the ejection conditions are therefore identical for each shot, so that the sub-projectiles have the same launch and flight speed for each shot and the range is always essentially the same when the weapon is fixed. This also achieves a high, reproducible target accuracy.
- the mechanical connection of the sub-floors with each other also has the further advantage that a separate shell for Inclusion of the sub-floors is not necessary.
- a separate shell for Inclusion of the sub-floors is not necessary.
- the sub-floor located in the "rear" shot direction it is supported on an end flange and is also connected to this flange via a mechanical connection with a defined predetermined breaking point.
- This end flange in turn is supported and held at the end of the barrel thus the individual mechanically connected sub-floors in a defined position in the barrel.
- the unit consisting of screwed sub-floors and the end flange forms the actual floor or ammunition.
- the ignition of the individual propellant charges by the ignition beam of a pyrotechnic ignition charge has the advantage that this ignition can be reproduced extremely reliably; electrical contacts in the barrel or in a shell for the projectiles, which are susceptible to corrosion and aging, are also avoided. Furthermore, there are no problems related to electromagnetic interference.
- the pyrotechnic primers are preferably combined to form a unit for all sub-floors of a storey, the pyrotechnic primers each immersing in a receiving opening in the outer wall of the barrel, from which the ignition channel leading to a propellant charge originates.
- the individual units can be stored separately from the projectiles so that problems with the transport and storage of the ammunition do not arise.
- the units are only attached to the barrel when the rapid-fire weapon is used.
- a rapid-fire weapon according to the invention thus consists of three elements, namely the barrel, the projectile and the Unit of priming charges. These elements are easy to use and can also be stored separately for a long time and can be transported with essentially no safety risk.
- the propellant charges are preferably arranged within a casing at the rear of each sub-storey, this casing having a predetermined breaking point at which the ignition channel opens. This predetermined breaking point is penetrated by the ignition jet of the respective pyrotechnic ignition charge and then strikes the propellant charge directly.
- the jacket with an annular channel running in the circumferential direction thereof, at least one branch channel branching off from the annular channel and running up to the propellant charge.
- the ring channel can be provided with a cover which is penetrated when the pyrotechnic primer is ignited. The pilot flame then enters the ring channel and the at least one branch channel, so that the propellant charge is reliably ignited.
- the rear of the sub-level to be driven out is pressure-tight against the subsequent sub-level. Until the predetermined breaking point is broken, the propellant gases of the propellant charge spread in a defined volume.
- This pressure-tight support can take place, for example, in such a way that the rear edge of the jacket receiving the propellant charge is adapted to the shape of the head of the subsequent sub-floor; if necessary, both the head of the projectile and the rear edge of the mantle can be slightly toothed be, whereby the volume for the propellant charge is sealed with high pressure resistance until the predetermined breaking point is broken between two sub-floors and remains unchanged.
- the pressure-tight support prevents propellant gases from escaping between the subsequent basement and the inside wall of the barrel, which could have an adverse effect on the pressure conditions.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a rapid firearm according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through part of the rapid-fire weapon according to FIG. 1 with a plurality of sub-floors stacked on top of one another;
- Figure 3 is a partially sectioned view of two stacked sub-floors
- FIG. 4 shows a perspective view of a projectile composed of several sub-levels for the rapid-fire weapon.
- FIG. 5 shows a longitudinal section through part of a rapid-fire weapon according to a second exemplary embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 1 shows a rapid firearm 1 which has a barrel 2 into which a projectile 3 (see also FIG. 3) from several, in this case five sub-projectiles 4 arranged one behind the other is inserted.
- Each basement 4 has a sleeve-shaped casing 5 at the rear, into which an encapsulated propellant charge 6 is screwed in the center.
- the encapsulated propellant charge 6 for a basement is in each case connected to the head of the basement located behind it, this connection having a predetermined breaking point 7.
- annular channel 8 is provided in the front area of the propellant charge 6, from which a plurality of branch channels 9 branch off in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the sub-storey 4 and lead to an ignition charge 10 for the propellant charge 6.
- the ring channel 8 of each basement is covered with an extension of a swirl band 11.
- the jacket 5 at the rear of each basement surrounds the encapsulated propellant charge 7 at a distance, so that a pressure chamber 12 is created there;
- the propellant gases of the propellant charge 6 enter this pressure chamber after they have been ignited via overflow openings 13.
- the jacket 5 is supported in a pressure-tight manner on the ogive, that is to say the head of the subsequent sub-floor 4. It is also possible that the rear edge of the jacket 5 is adapted to the shape of the head of the following sub-level 4; As shown in Figure 3, the rear edge of the jacket 5 can also be stepped at 14, the steps of this rear edge then in corresponding steps 15 in the head of the following Intervene in the basement, as shown in more detail in " FIG. 3.
