METHOD FOR LOADING OF GUN - LAUNCHING DEVICE - WITH ROUNDS AND DEVICE FOR ITS REALISATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC F41A9/38 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: method for loading of gun - launching device - with rounds consists in turn of fighting cab carrier, turn of gun - launching device and round by angle of loading with provision of round catch with the help of device for loading and synchronisation of angular speeds of gun-launching device barrel and rounds until their axes match, and ramming of round into channel of gun-launching device barrel. In process of gun-launching device and round turn, nose part of round enters powder chamber of gun-launching device barrel with simultaneous shock-free slippage of round relative to gun-launching device barrel powder chamber until it is set on ramming line. In the end of round turn, it is rigidly fixed by loading device. Prior to ramming, round is released from rigid fixation. Round ramming is done at loading angle, which is approximated to angle of gun-launching device firing by a maximum distance. Device for loading of gun-launching device includes stem and two spring-loaded grooves that interact by spherical tips with guide plates fixed on stands. Guide plates are equipped with stops interacting with spherical tips. Distance between axes of gun-launching device barrel and stem rotation exceeds round length 1.45-1.5 times.

EFFECT: reduced time for gun preparation for firing, reduced dimensions of light-weight fighting cab basket, providing for automatic loading of rounds with controlled and non-controlled missiles, increased reliability of gun-launching device operation.
