摘要: This invention relates to a breech assembly (10) of a gun adapted to fire caseless charges, ignited and enhanced with electrothermal chemical (ETC) charges. The gun utilises charges as propellant and a plasma generator cartridge (PGC) (17) for generating plasma when an electrical current is applied thereto. The breech assembly (10) comprises a breech ring (13), a tilting block assembly (14), with a spindle (15) installed and a sliding block (16) for supporting or locking the tilting block assembly (14) in a sealed position. The tilting block assembly (14) is movable between a PGC firing orientation and a PGC loading/removal orientation. The breech assembly (10) further includes a crank means, which includes a guide means (26) for rotating the tilting block assembly (14) from the PGC firing orientation to the PGC loading/removal orientation.
