摘要:
The aim of the invention is to devise a weapon (100) which has a completely modular design. For this purpose, the weapon (100) is subdivided into weapon-specific assemblies which are designed as carrier units of the components and/or of the modular assemblies of the weapon (100). A first assembly can be a modular weapon housing (3). Said weapon housing (3) consists of a carrier unit into which a breech system of the weapon (100) and its components are built. Another modular assembly is a weapon cradle (2). Into this modular assembly the weapon housing (3) module with breech system is integrated. The weapon housing (3) module can be complemented with the weapon barrel module. In a specific embodiment, the weapon barrel module is a weapon barrel bundle (10) with at least one weapon barrel (5, 5', 5''). Another modular assembly, a weapon drive (1), is connected to the weapon cradle (2). Said weapon drive comprises an external drive (1.1) and the breech drive (35, 36, 37). The components are connected to the modular assemblies and the modular assemblies to each other by means of rails and guides (15.1, 21.1) and complementary rails and guides (3.1, 3.2) for the assemblies (3), by binders (31) and holders (33), by pins (33, 34), bolts (31.1, 2.6) and quick release fasteners (22,.2). The weapon according to the invention is preferably an externally powered weapon (100).
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a method of manufacturing a set of integral gun barrels, the method comprising: a first step (103) of machining a single metal block to form a barrel preform having the finished outer shape of at least a first gun barrel and a second gun barrel, wherein the barrel preform has a solid cross section comprising a first barrel section and a second barrel section; and a second step (105), which is performed after the first step, of machining a coaxial bore in each of the first and second barrel sections of the barrel preform to form a first gun barrel and a second gun barrel, respectively.

The invention relates to an anchoring element (1) for a firearm system (3). Said firearm system comprises a first barrel, at least two modules (components or attachments) and, optionally, a weapon housing. The anchoring element (1) comprises an attachment piece (1b), which may be attached to the barrel and one or several mounting guide(s) (1a, 19, 21, 23a, 23b, 25a, 25b, 33a, 33b), which may be connected to the modules, whereby the relative position of barrel and mounting guide(s) to each other is or may be fixed. The invention further relates to a corresponding firearm system.
摘要:
Barrel assemblies (10) each include a plurality of projectiles (11) arranged in-line within barrel (12) and associated with discrete selectively ignitable propellant charges (13) for propelling projectiles (11) through the muzzle of barrel (12). Projectiles (11) are intended for civilian or non-military purposes and include holding body (17) in which matter or objects may be transported. Projectiles (11) are arranged with one another and barrel (12) so as to prevent rearward travel of an ignited propellant charge to the trailing propellant charge. The matter or objects contained within holding body (17) may include explosive charges for seismic exploration, fire retardants, fire extinguishing means, pyrotechnics, herbicide, insecticide, fertiliser or seeds. Methods of delivering loaded projectiles (11) for civilian purposes are claimed.
