Method used in large howitzer systems for influencing the maximum gas pressure in the loading chamber of a weapon having a tube comprises a guiding device pushing the bullet

摘要

Method for influencing the maximum gas pressure in the loading chamber (15) of a weapon having a tube (10) provided with grooves for loading a bullet (18) provided with a bullet driving band (21) comprises a guiding device (17) pushing the bullet different distances into the tube depending on the maximum gas pressure reached. An Independent claim is also included for a weapon, especially a howitzer. Preferred Features: The guiding device pushes the bullet with the driving band different distances onto the starting region of the grooves depending on the temperature measured. The degree of pushing increases with increasing temperature.
