Abstract
A weapon system having a breechblock, wherein the breechblock can be mechanically connected to a drive of the weapon system. The weapon system comprises means which are designed in such a way that a mechanical separation occurs between the breechblock and the breechblock drive with the recoil of the recoiling masses of the weapon system. With the forward motion of the recoiling masses, the mechanical connection between the breechblock drive and the breechblock is re-formed.
Claims17
A weapon system comprising:
- a drive;
- a breechblock mechanically connected to the drive of the weapon system;
- and
- a mechanical separator designed such that a mechanical separation occurs between the breechblock and the drive with a recoil of the breechblock and, with a forward motion of the breechblock, a mechanical connection between the drive and the breechblock is re-formed,
- wherein the breechblock includes a breechblock head and a breechblock carrier, and wherein the mechanical separator comprises two slides that are lockable against one another and are provided in the breechblock carrier.
