MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR MOUNTING ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT ON A FIREARM AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SUCH A MOUNTING SYSTEM
The invention relates to a mounting system for mounting electrically and/or electronically operable ancillary equipment on a firearm, having a mounting rail (1) on which transverse grooves (2) are arranged at regular intervals, and at least one connection device (11) for the ancillary equipment, said connection device (11) being fastenable to the mounting rail (1) in the region of the transverse grooves (2). In order to obtain a simple and cost-effective line arrangement via which data transmission between the ancillary equipment and/or an energy supply to the ancillary equipment can take place, the invention proposes arranging the electrical conductors (4), required for connecting to the ancillary equipment, within the mounting rail (1) and tapping said electrical conductors (4) in order to supply power to the particular item of ancillary equipment with the aid of piercing contacts (10) arranged on the connection device (11) of the item of ancillary equipment in question. In this case, the connection devices (11) that serve as contact shoes can be connected directly to the ancillary equipment or be used as ancillary modules which then for their part are connectable to the ancillary equipment via lines or in a wireless manner.
The invention relates to a delay element (11) for a piece of ammunition (10). Said delay consists of a small tube (1), a sleeve (2), a biasing mechanism (3), and a chemical delay composition (4) introduced into the small tube (1). The small tube (1) has an axial slot (a) along a portion of the length thereof, is mounted in the sleeve (2) so as to be axially movable, and is biased by the biasing mechanism (3). A narrow annular surface (b) of the sleeve (2) covers the end of the slot (a) at the firing end. The moment the effective member in the piece of ammunition (10) is lifted, a disk (6) is pressed rearward by the discharged gases, so that stoppers (7) are pulled into the bore (e), thus allowing the prevailing peak pressure to accumulate in the pressure accumulation chamber (c). Said pressure is the control parameter for the pressure-controlled delay element (11). The gas pressure acts upon the face (g) of the small tube (1) and slides the small tube against the biasing mechanism (3) until the forces are at an equilibrium. If the accumulated gas pressure is higher than the initial bias of the biasing mechanism (3), the small tube (1) is displaced in the direction of the biasing mechanism (3), which causes the slot (a) in the small tube (1) and the annular surface (b) of the sleeve (2) to move towards each other. A portion of the covered slot (a) is thus uncovered, and the delay composition (4) enters in contact with the ignition composition (5) in said zone, thereby shortening the delay time.

Disclosed is a simple variable mechanical way to adjust a delay. The aim of the invention is to find an easy way to adjust the delay time, for example by slightly twisting two subassembly parts (7, 8) into which the adjustable delay element (10) is integrated. The essential feature that helps achieve said aim is the delay element (10) that consists of a small tube (1) which has a thread (a) or the like along a portion of its length and is smooth along the remaining portion (b) of its length. A small slot (c) is located in the smooth, cylindrical portion of the tube (1). The tube (1) is provided with a through-bore into which a chemical mixture is pressed as a delay composition (3). A sleeve (2) which accurately fits over the cylindrical portion (b) of the tube (1) at one end and has a mating thread for the tube (1) at the other end is mounted over the tube (1). The slot (c) along with the delay composition (3) is increased or decreased (shortened) by twisting the two subassembly parts (7, 8). The glow time changes accordingly once the delay composition (3) has been ignited, the delay time being infinitely variable.

The invention relates to ammunition (30) comprising active bodies (6, 6.1-6.3) that contain active charges, and having at least one cartridge case (1), one contact (2), and a cartridge base (4). Said ammunition (30) comprises active bodies (6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3) that are stacked in planes (E1-E3) in guide tubes (16.1-16.3) that are integrated parallel to the ammunition (30) longitudinal axis. Said active bodies (6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3) contain the same or different active charges, and can be ejected simultaneously and/or in a temporally off-set manner, the active charges thereof being able to be initiated simultaneously and/or at temporal intervals. The guide tubes (16.1-16.3) produce active body rows (A, B, C) each formed by said three guide tubes (16.1-16.3), and these active body rows (A, B, C) can themselves be ejected in parallel or at temporal intervals to one another. An electrical set trigger (17) and delay element (12), or a plurality of electrical set triggers (17), are responsible for the temporally off-set output of the respective active body rows (A, B, C). Each individual active body (6.1-6.3) can also have a different ejection charge (9.1-9.3) as well as a different delay time from the other active bodies (6.1-6.3), with the different delay times being implementable in the different delay elements (8.1-8.3, 11.1-11.3, 12). As a result, each active body (6.1-6.3), and also each active body row (A, B, C), may be assigned its own point of action.
The invention relates to a contact device (10) for transferring contact from a weapon or a launcher (13) to ammunition located therein, with an encapsulated modular or module-like structure. This contact device consists of a housing (1), a contact pin (2) with a membrane (2.1) and a membrane carrier (2.2), as well as an elastomer (3) comprising an elastomer body (3.1) and an elastomer body carrier (3.2). A connecting pin (4) and a terminal pin (7) are additionally contained in the housing (1), wherein the contact pin (2), the connecting pin (4) and the terminal pin (7) form an electrically conductive unit. In particular, the connecting pin (4) is held in the elastomer (3).
The invention relates to ammunition (20) comprising active bodies (6), having at least one cartridge case (1), one contact (2), and a cartridge base (4). The same or different active charges (5, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3) may be integrated into said active bodies (6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3), and the active bodies (6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3) are stacked in active body containers (15) that are integrated parallel to the ammunition (20) longitudinal axis, a plurality of active body containers (15) being integrated and the active bodies (6, 6.1, 6.2, 6.3) being ejected simultaneously from said active body containers (15). These active charges (5.1, 5.2, 5.3) can achieve a sensitive, optical effect and acoustic effect as well as visual obscuration, IR-screening visual obstruction and radar-interference effects, individually or in combination, at the target.
The invention relates to a projectile (1; 1') that can be fired from a barrelled weapon, comprising a projectile base (4; 4') and a penetrator (5; 5'), which is supported on the front side of the projectile base (4; 4') and receives an active agent (8) that is to be introduced into a closed room (3). In order when the active agent (8) is introduced into the closed room (3) to avoid lethal injuries to the persons located in the room (3), the invention proposes constructing the projectile (1; 1') in such a way that the penetrator (5; 5') only partially penetrates the wall (2) of the corresponding room (3), and so the active agents (8) can enter the room (3) via the part of the penetrator (5; 5') that is protruding into the room (3).

The aim of the invention is to ensure the firing stability of a full-caliber training projectile (1) in an inexpensive manner, said training projectile comprising a solid head part (2) and a tubular fin body (3) which adjoins the rear side of the head part (2). According to the invention, this is achieved by designing the fin body (3) such that the propellant gases produced upon firing the training projectile (1) also act on the exterior (5) of the lateral wall (6) of the tubular fin body (3). For this purpose, a guiding system (7) is provided in the rear region of the fin body (3), said guiding system comprising a guiding strip (9) which is received by an annular groove (8) of the fin body (3). The guiding strip (9) has multiple web-shaped guiding elements (10) which are uniformly distributed over the circumference of the fin body (3) and which support the fin body (3) against the inner wall of the corresponding barrel. Furthermore, a sealing system (12) is arranged in the region of the solid head part (2) of the training projectile (1) in order to prevent the propellant gases from passing by the exterior of the training projectile (1) within the barrel.
In order to ensure the firing strength of a full-calibre practice projectile (1), which has a solid head part (3) and a tubular fin body (5) adjoining the head part (3) at the rear, in a cost-effective manner, the invention proposes that the fin body (5) is designed in such a way that the propellant gases caused by the firing of the practice projectile (1) act also on the outer side (6) of the side wall (7) of the tubular fin body (5). In order to prevent the propellant gases from flowing past the practice projectile (1) on the outside within the weapon barrel, a sealing system (8) is provided in the area of the solid head part (3) of the practice projectile (1), wherein a circumferential section (10) is provided on the outer side (9) of the head part (3), which is designed as a sealing surface and whose outer diameter is selected such that the head part (3) itself forms the sealing system (8) in this section (10) during firing of the practice projectile (1). A groove seal is preferably provided in the sealing surface (10), said groove seal comprising at least three annularly arranged grooves (11) which are axially spaced from one another.
