GAS-ACTIVATED AUTOMATIC WEAPON WITH DETACHABLE LINK CARTRIDGE STRIP AND REPLACEABLE BARREL.

Abstract

The subject of the invention is a gas-operated automatic weapon (A) with a replaceable barrel (1) using a detachable linkage (23) cartridge belt, a belt feeding infrastructure compatible with the detachable cartridge linkage (17) which enables the carriage of a high-capacity ammunition series of the cartridge (23) with a rimmed base, a cartridge buffer (2) which reduces deformations that may occur in the plastic or paper body of the cartridge (23) along the feeding line, a cartridge feeding mechanism (3) which enables the controlled separation of the cartridge (23) from the linkage (17) and its stable, linear and repeatable advancement towards the barrel (1) axis, a cartridge feeding-guiding group consisting of guiding elements such as the cartridge feeding slide / guide (4) and the cartridge feeding mechanism housing (5), a gas piston (12) which converts the gas energy resulting from firing into cyclical motion, a gas pressure adjustment chamber (13), and a gas adjustment valve (14).The gas actuation system, consisting of components such as the gas cylinder (15) and gas discharge hole (16), the integrated carrier group of the slide carrier (9) and slide (10) which converts the cycle energy into a locking-unlocking movement, the empty casing ejection area (21) which ensures the reliable ejection of fired cartridge cases and the connecting link ejection mechanism which directs the connecting link (17) out of the system with a flow independent of the empty casing ejection path, work together to form an integrated mechanism structure that offers a repeatable, stable and deformation-free feeding pattern synchronized with the cycle timing of the separation-advancement-drive-locking-ejection steps of the shotgun shell (23).
