25 results about "Caliber" patented technology

In guns, particularly firearms, caliber (or calibre in British English) is the specified nominal internal diameter of the gun barrel bore regardless of how or where the bore is measured and whether or not the finished bore matches that specification. It is measured in inches to an accuracy of hundredths or thousandths of an inch or in millimeters. For example, a ".45 caliber" firearm has a barrel diameter of roughly 0.45 inches (11 mm). Barrel diameters can also be expressed using metric dimensions. For example, a "9 mm pistol" has a barrel diameter of about 9 millimeters. Due to the inaccuracy and imprecision of imperial dimensions "converted" to metric units, metric designations are typically far out of specifications published in decimal inches. True "caliber" specifications require imperial measure, and even when cartridge designations (often mistakenly referred to as "caliber") only specify caliber to even tenths or hundredths of an inch, actual barrel/chamber/projectile dimensions are published to at least thousandths of an inch and frequently tolerances extend into ten-thousandths of an inch.

The invention relates to an inner ballistic trajectory design method for a floating series double-chamber balance gun. The inner ballistic trajectory design method comprises the steps of dividing an inner ballistic trajectory process period, establishing a gunpowder combustion model in a main chamber and an auxiliary chamber, establishing a projectile motion model, establishing a balance body motion model, establishing an auxiliary chamber motion model and establishing an inner ballistic trajectory energy conservation model. Based on a novel floating series-connection double-chamber structure for a balance gun, construction of an inner ballistic model is completed, and optimization design is conducted on the chamber structure and charging parameters. The problem that a large-diameter barrel weapon generates high bore pressure under the high initial speed index can be effectively solved. On the premise that the maximum chamber pressure is not increased, secondary acceleration of the projectile is achieved, and the outlet speed and the flight performance of the projectile are remarkably improved. According to the method, an important theoretical reference and a practical technical method are provided for design and development of the high-initial-speed large-caliber balance gun in the future, and the method has wide application prospects and great military value.

This method applies to all calibers of belt-fed personal and crew-served automatic weapons. The external hand crank and internal spindle would work in unison to recover the belt if it is yanked from the cylindrical drum container prematurely. A flexible warning device ribbon connected by ammunition links would ensure all rounds are expended from within the drum when abridged from spindle to belt.
