Abstract
The invention relates to a recoilless apparatus for firing conventional cartridge-based ammunitions comprising a gun barrel and a compensating mass launch tube wherein a projectile is accelerated in one direction inside said gun barrel counterbalanced by a compensating mass accelerated in the opposite direction inside said launch tube thereby minimizing recoil and further providing means of automatic ammunition handling.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a gun barrel open at both ends;
- and
- a launch tube open at both ends, wherein said tube is not necessarily of the same dimension over its length and is further disposed in:
- an alignment of being substantially coaxially linear with said gun barrel;
- and
- an arrangement of being breech-to-breech therewith;
- and
- a position wherein a spatial gap exists between breech ends of said barrel and launch tube;
- and
- a compensating mass loading chamber attached to breech end of said launch tube;
- and
- a cartridge placed inside breech section of said gun barrel, wherein said cartridge points in direction of said gun muzzle and during launching further seals said breech end thereof;
- and
- a compensating package comprising a charge or a compensating mass overlaying a charge, wherein said package:
- is placed inside said loading chamber;
- and points in muzzle direction of said second launch tube;
- and further seals said breech end thereof during launching;
- and
- a first loader providing means of automatically loading and/or unloading said cartridge;
- and
- a second loader providing means of automatically loading and/or unloading said compensating package;
- and
- an ignition device providing means of igniting charges contained inside said cartridge and package substantially simultaneously or with a predetermined time lag;
- and
- a fixture providing means of physically supporting plurality of components of said apparatus.
