Embodiment Construction

[0048] Such as figure 1 The illustrated barrel assembly 10 is loaded in known manner with a plurality of projectiles 11 within a rifle barrel 12 which provides rotational movement of the projectiles 11 when fired to activate the weapon.

[0049] However, a rupturable propulsion cup or high pressure chamber 13 is secured to the projectile 11 for firing the projectile 11 from the barrel while clearing the barrel in preparation for subsequent projectile firing. This high-pressure chamber vents gas through vent holes 14 into the space between the stacked projectiles 11 , which forms a low-pressure chamber 15 .

[0050] Each projectile 11 includes a projectile body 17, which in this embodiment is a grenade casing 18 containing a grenade 22, and a tail sleeve 19 which holds the projectile in place. , used to limit its corresponding axial movement. The tail sleeve 19 has a head 20 which tapers inwardly towards an inner ring 21 which extends to an outer groove 23 of complementary s...

Abstract

A gun-barrel component comprises: a gun-barrel including a plurality of outer chamber which contains corresponding propellant to set powder; A plurality of projectiles, piled up in gun-barrel from thehead portion to tail portion, comprising expansion space for propellant gas respectively; in which, each projectile has corresponding outer chamber and expansion space; each chamber comprising a mouth for delivering the propulsion gas from chamber to expansion space to propulse corresponding projectile; and a control system which sets power and fires the propellant in pairs to generate propulsiongas and extrude the projectile from the gun-barrel orderly. Also disclosed are gun-barrel, projectile and launch system of the gun-barrel component.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application date of April 7, 2000, the application number 00808015.1, and the patent application titled "projectile launching device". technical field [0002] The invention relates to a projectile and its launching method, especially for the method and device for launching a projectile. The method and device are used for military purpose, and the invention is also suitable for civilian use. Background technique [0003] The military use of launching projectiles is well known, such as launching grenades, launching radar reflective foil and missile decoy wrapping. In military applications such as launching grenades, each ammunition box contains a projectile assembly including a grenade. Therefore, the relative reduction in grenade launch speed obviously limits the application or practicality in equipment. [0004] The invention finds particular use with projectiles fired from a barrel containing a plurality of projec...
