Benefits of technology

The invention aims to provide a structure for gun barrels that is rigid enough to accurately fire and durable in use without adding excessive mass. It also allows for quick dissipation of propellant heat between consecutive firing of the weapon.

Problems solved by technology

Additionally, rapid thermal dissipation of propellant heat requires that a gun barrel must also act as an effective radiator of heat because barrels which fail to cool quickly enough tend to wear out and incur the material and logistical expenses of frequent replacement, are less accurate in use while hot, and slow cool-off time may reduce the maximum fire rate of a repeating weapon.

Abstract

A gun barrel or sleeve for a gun barrel is provided. The invention includes staggered helical arrays of elliptical or oval blind cavities along the length of the gun barrel or sleeve. As a sleeve, the invention may be press-fit or force-fitted over a regular barrel or a barrel of reduced wall thickness. The cavities have radially extending orifices by which an angular width of an interior portion of a cavity is greater than an angular width of the orifice of that cavity, and a longitudinal dimension of the interior portion of that cavity is greater than a longitudinal dimension of the orifice of that cavity. The product may be produced by additive manufacturing, autofrettage, casting, forging or traditional CNC machining.
