US 11,656,043 B2 · Weapon system

Abstract

A weapon system that includes a breechblock, which is formed at least by a breechblock carrier and a breechblock head, the breechblock carrier being designed so as to carry the breechblock head. To achieve the fact that forces acting upon the breechblock drive during the unlocking of the breechblock and the withdrawal of a cartridge casing are minimized or even eliminated, the breechblock head is freely movable relative to the breechblock carrier. To separate the breechblock with a breechblock drive of the weapon system during the recoil of the recoiling masses of the weapon system, a device is designed in such a way that a mechanical separation takes place between the breechblock and the breechblock drive during the recoil of the recoiling masses of the weapon system. During the forward motion of the recoiling masses, the mechanical connection between the breechblock drive and the breechblock is reestablished via the device.

Dependent claims

A weapon system comprising:

a breechblock, the breechblock being mechanically connected to a breechblock slider of the weapon system;
a device that provides a mechanical separation between a breechblock carrier of the breechblock and the breechblock slider, in which the breechblock carrier is movable independent of the breechblock slider, during a recoil of recoiling masses of the weapon system, and that establishes a mechanical connection between the breechblock slider and the breechblock carrier, in which the breechblock carrier moves together with the breechblock slider, during a forward motion of the recoiling masses,
wherein at least one connection rod of the device detachably connects the breechblock carrier to the breechblock slider to provide the mechanical connection, and
wherein a rear end of the connection rod is fixedly mounted on the breechblock slider, viewed in a firing direction, and a front end of the connection rod is connected to or separated from the breechblock carrier.
